This episode was all sorts of fubar. We’ve got Bryan and Claire in a Flowers in the Attic icky sex relationship, Paul being a sadistic ass and his company rewarding him for it by throwing him a surprise Thanksgiving party, Ross trying to get high enough to sleep with Paul, an abusive father who I suppose Claire blames for her pregnancy (did the baby die or was she put up for adoption? Now we know the “family issues” Claire had when she left the ballet company in Pittsburgh), Romeo obsessed with messages in bottles, and Mia getting some bad news (I vote brain tumor) and finally eating before what, attempting suicide? I’m enjoying this in a trainwreck sort of way, but it’s not dragging me into caring for the characters like other shows do. Ah well, only two episodes left. ---

True, I can’t think of anyone I like on the show. I thought the TDay party was a fantasy of Paul’s – couldn’t believe it was really happening. Yeah, when Bryan was possibly jerking off when we first see him talking to Claire, :eek: ---

This show gets worse every week. So Paul pulls this sadistic routine every holiday and the dancers just go along with it? Give me a break. The incest stuff is just gross. I’m still kind of interested in what happens to Mia. I worry that people watching this show might believe any of this is normal in professional ballet. ---

It’s so over the top I would think reasonable people wouldn’t believe this is typical. ---

So I shouldn’t try to find the ballet-strip club on my next trip to NYC? ---
