Writer's for TD Suck - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

1st point: "Keen eye for detail." said by BOTH Jinny and Raina.

3 seasons is not that long. They should not have to be going back and copying dialogue from the 1st season.

2nd point: Age

Jinny's mom and dad, and how it's all impossible. We all know the story.

3rd point: Jonah

OK, I just dont like him.

...about Jonah.

Raina using Jin's line only annoyed me because it was Jinny's line. But then, both mag and jin mentioned something about timing being off...that's what did it.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 07-28-2003, 12:17 AM

Alright, Miranda just brought up another one.

Ben's age. Mag said Gabe got her pregnant 12 years ago. How old is Ben, now?

By the way...how are they back on their feet so fast?

disturbed child · 07-28-2003, 01:09 AM

Oh I know... is it just me or has the writing really sucked? I mean, this season we got a few gem episodes, but overall the writing has been lacking. They just don't have that same... um... zing that they had in the first 2 seasons.

The affair with Jonah? Jesus christ, what the hell were the writers smoking when they came up with THAT storyline?

And is it just me or does it seem like they are using a similar plot to the season 2 finale? Criminals going around the city and murdering people. It's kind of like the two-part 2nd season finale. Can't they think of anything new? Do they really have to use recycled storylines and dialogue? And did they have to turn Magda into a self-involved filthy skank?

"Keen eye for detail"... f.u.c.k you Raina.

when Magda commented about her being pregnant 12 years ago I started talking to my tv. I was like 'wasnt ben 8 years old like 2 months ago?" they confuse me...lol

The way Jin and Mag both said it's been a tough year made me want to gag. Jin said it to Jack, and they haven't even been married a year! Mag and Gabe MAYBE, but not Jin/Jack also. Plus the crack about timing bugged me.
Also, the dialouge between Jin and Mag as of late has bored me to death. They've just lacked something this year. It hasn't been nearly as interesting and it's repetitive. They gotta do something to spice it up.

The writers have a good thing going with C.D/Nate, but we'll see if they can keep it. They also had interesting stuf with Cap and Jin in the beginning but let that die and the bickerin with Mag and Jin has gone too. They just have trouble keeping things going. They seriously gotta work on that.

Oh, and neither of the 2 guys there after have the name of that on the driver's lisence John Jr. was given.....

I just noticed that. Werent they all Hispanic or Black?

I agree, most of this seasons episodes have been boring. I hate how they have a good, really dramadic episode like Jin's attempted suicide, then they follow it up by a totally lame episode.

Kay Scarpetta · 07-28-2003, 04:32 PM

The part that really irked me was Raina stealing Jinny's line. I heard it and I'm like "Wait just a ****ing moment here..." Grrrrrr. It pissed me off.

KerriBerri687 · 07-28-2003, 04:58 PM

i think that the writers seem kind of...umm..wuts the word...desperate? i mean...between the affair, stroke, everything its just been a little much. i dunno...tds just not wut it used to be imo.

That doesn't seem like Magda at all...and Jonah seems like such a loser. Yeah, they were probably smoking the same thing they were when they decided to make Kate and grandma then forgot about that...and haha about Raina!

Ewan's My Man · 07-29-2003, 01:03 AM

I happen to like this season. Of course...as my dad told me...if I DON'T like something I watch he said it must be REALLY bad, b/c I like pretty much everything. I dunno, the ACTING is better...the plots are worse. Season one some of the acting was lacking...but they had good plots...I only saw a few unfortunately.

NEwayz...I like this season, but I can't stand Jonah. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE David Sutcliffe (sp?) but I can't STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Jonah. And until he cuts his hair and looks like how he USED to on Gilmore Girls I still see him as Jonah and can't STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND it. I saw a commercial for him for some tv movie and I'm like, O GOD! NOOO!

*ahem*

thetrueone · 07-29-2003, 06:38 PM

What I think it is is the Buffy the Vampire Syndrome!!!

Let's face it, folks. TD suffers from Buffy syndrome.

On the last few seasons of Buffy, the writers of that show wrote it to where Buffy herself didn't do much and to where Willow had a lot going on for that show.

TD just suffers from Buffy syndrome!!!

Grrr

What the hell is this Buffy syndrome you keep talking about?

Buffy did a lot during the last few seasons. She's the main character for christs sake! And Willow did do a lot too but her character grew. She went from a naive girl practicing witchcraft to an extremely powerful Wiccan woman. All of the characters grew, but Buffy always carried the show on her shoulders. I mean, season 6 focused on her trying to adjust to her life after being resurrected and her relationship with Spike. And it also focused on Willow's addiction to magic and her relationship with Tara failing. There are other characters on the show you know. But it's always been about Buffy.

BUFFY AND SPIKE FOREVER!!!!!!

Anyway...

I think they should just kill Magda off. She just sucks. And while they're at it, they could kill Raina too. And how about Jack? Oh and Lewis too. And Jonah... just get red of him. We don't need any of those characters.

When Magda was talking to Jonah and she was telling him she loved her family and didn't like hurting people, that was the last straw for me. I have lost all respect for her. She goes and cheats on Gabe and tries to make herself out to be the victim. They should just get rid of her.

Yeah, that pissed me off too. I was like, "Hey, that sounds familiar. Wait a darn minute, that's JINNY'S line!" Urrrgh.
