Why do I do this to myself? I'm the first person to say to everyone else: "If you don't like it, stop fuckin watching then! Whatever you do, just stop fucking whining about it." See, my issue is more... like... I have done that multiple times. Just given up on shows I've had it with (Without A Trace, Grey's, The OC, House, Shameless, pretty much

If they wanted to do a mindfuck episode they should have actually planned one out. Looked up the psychology that they wanted to represent, seen what spiritual angle they were taking (not ghosts but maybe religion of sorts or just a spiritual coming of age for Rich in his own way) not this "let's just have him see Grace a lot" crap.

Women on this show pretty much are blow up dolls and sometimes serve to show how real live women are naggy and annoying. I think I'll have a lot more rage as this goes forward and as my favourite characters are ruined one by one. Hell I liked Rich last year, this year I want to punch him in the face so they're not just ruining the girls, the whole cast suffers when one gender becomes spare weight.

Clever isn't not understanding. Clever is not understanding until we get to the reveal and then being able to go back and see how the rest of it happened, like with Cassie's episode. We can look back and see that she was seeing things that no one else did. Here we see that soemtimes Rich is seeing things, sometimes everyone might be and sometimes he's fucking someone in a coma without noticing. That's not good writing.

If say the hospital scene had them talking and then when her dad comes back in she says she has to "pretend now" or something so when he looks again she's sleeping and her dad has no clue that would have been a mind fuck.
