I'm so glad Sarah and Saul left the company. Holly and Tommy suck. And I hope their departures bug Tommy to no end.

MMm. This thread is cathartic.

*screams "GET EM GOOD!" repeatedly*

Ah, poor Tommy, looks like he won't be getting any fans soon!

**Katiegg108** · 10-17-2008, 02:21 PM

That's what he gets for being so awful for over a year

**Fortyseven** · 10-18-2008, 06:58 AM

That's true. I haven't even remotely liked him since s1.

Sheebs · 10-20-2008, 01:37 PM

Especially during and after his affair.

I so agree with you guys and your kicks to Tommy and Holly's butts.

I think I've shown that quite clearly on the episodes threads, so I won't expand on that. But I really wished that Tommy had redeemed himself on my eyes.. but he didn't. It's not as bad as before, I guess ... but I wanted a lot more. Well, there's still Kevin's situation ... let's see how that will be solved.

**Fortyseven** · 10-21-2008, 04:03 PM

He was alright in the latest episode I suppose... But he's far from redeemed/likable.

Actually, I don't hate Tommy as much anymore thanks to 3x04.

**Katiegg108** · 10-21-2008, 07:23 PM

It was definitely an improvement

It was nice to see him just being one of the brothers instead of the evil guy at Ojai.

What type of stuff is Holly trying to pull with investigating Ryan? Please, Holly, stop. Now. It's just going to keep ruining her chances of getting close to Rebecca again.

**Fortyseven** · 10-22-2008, 02:40 AM

Yeah, well, I like Tommy just fine when he's involved in family storylines... His Ojai stories always make him look like a jerk.

**Katiegg108** · 10-24-2008, 01:03 PM

Very true. Maybe if we can keep seeing more of Tommy as a brother and father and less involved with Ojai drama we'll end up liking him more again.

I just want to scream at Holly when she just butts herself in where she doesn't belong. Grr! She's just going to end up ruining stuff for herself...

And I did like Tommy and Sarah getting along in the last episode... but I don't have my hopes up for it to be long lasting. Tommy just grates on my nerves. (*whispers*I think part of that (for me) may be Balthazar *whispers*)

Sorry for being slightly negative but I have to say this somewhere:

I hate Kitty's cancer storyline. Hate.

I'm so exhausted of cancer storylines which take up almost entire seasons:
Brian in Queer as Folk s4
Dana in The L Word s3
Samantha in Sex and the City s6
Lynette in Desperate Housewives s4
Izzie in Grey's Anatomy s5
...and now Kitty.

All of these actors did some amazing work with the storyline but it's always so painful to watch. It always seems like the "main" storyline of the season, whether it's getting the most screentime or not, because of its heaviness.

Now, I know it's important to raise cancer awareness but I watch my shows for the element of escapism, not to see characters dealing with devastating things we're all forced to deal with in reality . I don't want such serious issues clouding my enjoyment, at least not when they're so prominently featured. And while it's always nice to relate to the characters on the show, I don't think this is such case, especially to those whose family members went through a cancer battle.

...just my 2 cents. They're all doing a nice job with it, but I miss the humor and not having this "disease" undertone to the season.

**Katiegg108** · 10-23-2009, 02:01 PM

I can see where you're coming from. This would never have been my first choice for a story line. I do think the writers are doing a great job with it, and all the actors, especially Calista.

It is really heavy, though. There's been so much drama already on this show, and this definitely outweighs the rest as far as just how serious it is. It's very hard to balance the fun aspects of B&S against this story

I was annoyed that Tommy was back. And his speech to the family during dinner

I wish someone had punched him in the face
