eugene, i think your father would be VERY proud of you.
i get absolutely wrecked when any of my favorite shows feature disabled guest-stars.
the episode of SVU where the girl with downs is pregnant? breaks my heart.
but the CSI: Miami one that just aired really got me. Eugene, the character, isn't grossly disabled, there's no physical "characteristics" to clue you in... he's just very sweet, and a little slow. and all he wants is to help H "get the bad guy". (don't know how much i need to worry about spoiling this, cause it's from a first season episode, but i figured i'd be cautious.) and what does lovely Eugene get for being H's 'partner' in this case? beaten to death. i missed a little bit, but the gist of it is that he was beaten bloody... and had no ability to clot due to some medication/treatment. he was indigent, and had no family... but H being the man he is stepped up to give Eugene the private funeral he deserved. and the badge he deserved. ::single tear::
