Thank you for all the time you spent with this review. Both the lines you picked and your comments about them made me smile. It's wonderful to hear that these lines came across the way I hoped they might.

(Also, so many thanks for your generousity about my recent failures as a reader and a reviewer. I have many stories to catch up on, including at least two of yours, I think!)

... addressed the lack of follow-up to Ryan’s summer on the show (where everything-the loss of the baby, what he had faced back in Chino, his separation from the Cohens-was treated as somehow of less consequence than Seth’s self-pity party in Portland... You express one of my great frustrations with the way the premier of Season 2 was handled. Ryan's summer was traumatic in ways he felt powerless to control, while Seth's estrangement from his family was entirely self-induced, and yet the show focused on bringing Seth back home. If there had been even some slight follow-up for Ryan (and I'm not counting Theresa's reappearance in Season 3), it might not have been so disappointing.

Glad to see you are writing, too!
