i'm not very impressed with some of the stories so far...sloppy writing.
What, abby can't hack being alone with her child? she needs a man to
hold her hand or she drinks? and that goober intern with his female
anatomy. Gross! and i'm so tired of the storyline of "little genius kid
who talks like an encyclopedia"...the terminally ill boy. Why is it
little white kids talk like encyclopedias, but when they have black or
hispanic kids, they seem to always be in trouble? They never talk like
encyclopedias...they talk like coolio or something. I'm not hyper-pc or
anything...it's something i've noticed over the years. I have yet to see
any kid anywhere who talks like a 50 year old, black or
white....anyways, for the most part, the stories have no dramatic
tension.The story with dr moretti and his son...what's up with that? And
then they have musical interludes so they don't have to tell us
anything...so far this season it's like the writers are in a coma, not
on strike.
