Hey, what happened to my blood?
Some TV shows have a nasty habit of creating a medical emergency as an easy way out of a storyline. It's overdone, cheap and slightly insulting to the viewers' attention spans. While on the same fault line, some medical shows use cheap drama as an excuse to show overdone and boring medicine. Only the best shows know how to spin the victim angle to better the series. As you can tell, this is something that bothers me. Exhibit one: "Entourage." When Johnny Drama wanted calf implants, the show teased. Drama would check out other guys' legs at parties, accusing them of lying about whether they were real or fake, like always, making a fool out of himself. You couldn't help but be happy for Drama when Vince celebrated his success by rewarding his bro with a leg-job. But the story never went anywhere. The writers dropped the calf gimmick like Vince cut off Ari, leaving Drama too ashamed to ever wear a pair of cut-offs.
