Some people don't like watching this episode I guess because they consider the show depressing but it's only really sad at the end of part 1 and 2. I can watch with no problem
If you don't like watching just wondering why? |

Every time I watch it I just say one thing to myself? Why was Ned the Wino at the APT and he and James were not friends? He was just the neighborhood wino

You sound like a damn fool! You don't have to be friends to pay respect for someone dying! Ned and James knew each other very well! At least we knew who Ned was, and we didn't know who the others in the apartment were! DUH!!!!!! |

Ned was the neighborhood wino and should not have been in those eps since he was always portrayed as a wino. The father should have been at the apt not Ned and then Ned says......."we going to miss james" HUH? That mutherf%cker never even had a conversation with James the entire time james was on the show

The only reason Ned the wino showed up at James' wake was because he wanted free food and free booze.
I know I wouldn't go to the wake or funeral of someone I wasn't even friends with. If there was no relationship/friendship during life, then why act all caring at the time of death? |

Unless you are doing it because you were CLOSE to someone who was related to the person who died. I have done this twice at two separate for my boss and supervisor who lost a relative But Ned was just a WINO which made his appearance odd. How are you going to portray this character as a drunken fool all the time and then all of a sudden clean him up and have him bring something to the house? And how would Ned have found out about the death anyway since he was drunk?

I disagree. You saw Ned show up with a turkey. He said some kind words to Florida, and it was sincere and from his heart. Besides, Florida offered the booze to him. It was a grieveing time. It doesn't matter the relationship. People want to pay respect, and it would highly be appreciated. Neighborhood winos are people with feelings too, as Ned showed here. You can't expect people to attend a wake or service to be family and close friends. If people are known, then you have to expect to see anybody paying respect. You and Solomon sound real cold, and because of this, I'm glad I don't know yall in real life because I did, I wouldn't want yall to attend my wake or funeral because of comments like that. lol |

I still don't you understand that it was hard to take ned seriously after being a WINO in all the previous eps. So since you feel that way maybe Lootin Lenny should have been there too

, at least Ned the wino showed up multiple times at the Evans household while drunk trying to have a conversation; therefore Ned the wino is considered as an associate of the family, so Ned the wino had a right to go to the funeral.

I can understand why Ned went to the Evans apartment. Even though they lived in the projects, they lived in a tight knit community where everyone knew each other and their kids grew up together. Plus Ned knew James, it isn't like they were strangers and Ned just popped up out of nowhere. When my Grandmother passed away, people from her job who she wasn't even close with attended her funeral, it is a sign of respect.
Also Ned did not attend James' funeral, he just attended the Repass. |
