I know, I know. Lately I haven't wanted to watch any episodes, but I've soldiered through them because I've been watching the show since it came on. Also because Tom and my mom both still want to watch them, and since Tom doesn't have cable, he watches them here.
(Actually, Tom's apartment = bastion of peace, because he has no cable or internet. You can either watch a DVD/VHS there, or you can do something else while listening to music. It's a very productive place, except when he puts on a !!! cd.)
& I always remember that there was a pet Person To Hate (or two) every season: in season one, I thought David was an irredeemable loser, but now he's my favorite. I always liked Claire, but she was pretty insufferable by the end of the last season, and now seems to be getting better. Always liked Brenda, but thought she was awful in her second-season "casual anonymous sex" phase, and didn't like it when she cheated on Joe with Nate, even tho at the time I wanted her to get back together with Nate (Joe still deserved better). Didn't like Billy most of the time, but loved him from the time he took over teaching duties at Claire's school to the end of last season. Never liked Brenda & Billy's creepy, selfish parents; never liked Olivier; never liked Anita (Claire's artschool friend); liked Russell until he slept with Olivier and have hated him since. Never liked Lisa, even though I like Lili Taylor, and it follows that I couldn't stand her family, except her niece Michaela. Wanted Ruth to hook up with both her major relationships (Nikolai and George) but really disliked them by the time she broke up with them, and have always thought that Ruth is kinda nuts. Etc.
So even though I really didn't want Nate to die at the end of S2, when he had his AVM surgery, I've been gunning for it since like ep 3 this season. He's been such an asshat. And unlike other SFU characters who behave like asshats for an extended number of episodes, he's not getting a chance to redeem himself.
(your icon here says it all. heck, i feel like that MOST of the time. i just want to go into a corner and hug: my dog, a stuffed animal, a pillow, in order of preference. but that has little to do with SFU, most of the time... ;)
