Abby falling off the wagon yet *again* is not a story that needed to
be told. It only exposes the failure of creativity in the show that
they could not figure out what to do with Maura Tierney in light of
Goran Vijnic's reduced number of appearances on the show. Clearly
they want to keep Abby and Luka together despite Vijnic all-but
leaving the show, but geez, the writers are falling back into their
lazy rut like, say, a sluggish alcoholic by having Abby fall back into
alcoholism. A lot of people at the show seem to have forgotten that
Tierney is a greaet comedic actress and thus they should have turned
Abby toward more comedic personal storylines rather than trying to
stripmine depths of bad storytelling that almost caused the collapse
of the show three years ago.

It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
