ah, long lost blog....

It feels like it's been a long time since I last blogged. But of course it really hasn't been. 

Nothing much has happened since I last blogged either. Video games, Desperate Housewives, and house work. Also weekend things, I guess. There's a fair in the area right now, but I'm not going to a fair. No thanks, not again. I went with my family to the Crawfish Festival not too long ago and I was terribly miserable. But there was good food. 

Kyle MacLachlan is a crazy man on this show. 

I played pool tonight and I won a game of cut throat. But lost two.

 

Zach Young is a crazy character as well. So many crazy people living on Wisteria Lane. Susan Mayer crying in the embalming room of a funeral home. I think every one is crazy in their own way on this show. Maybe we're all crazy from time to time. 

TV dramas usually have very diverse characters all pushed together, written to be friends, and they are all friends and get along great and whatever. Each of these characters represents someone that someone else, from the audience, can relate to, I imagine.  

Wether awkward and klutzy, materialistic and proud, and whatever other character types there are, each one of these character will most likely have one similar character flaw: stubbornness. It's common knowledge that the typical scenario for someone, lets say John Locke from Lost, first off - the character is faced with a difficult situation and can't see how they're going to make the right decision. In the season 2 finale, John Locke decides that they were going to stop "pressing the button" in the hatch they found at the end of the first season. The character then makes the decision or whatever and feels that they've done the right thing. When things go wrong, the character then realizes that what they've done wasn't the right thing to do. Ah, like Susan Mayer again. At the end of season 3, she chooses Ian Hainsworth over Mike Defino. Anyone with eyes could tell that Susan was more in love with Mike than she was with Ian, but like I've been saying, Susan was being quite stubborn, the "most common character flaw."

To write a hit show, have lots of characters that are stubborn and make terrible decisions that unfold horribly, but then they have everything they want happen by the end of the season. Everything falling together and whatever, but then something completely unsettling happens right at the end of the season that keeps people wanting more. It's simple...
