hrm

I have figured out one of the reasons this new version of Dave Creegan bothers me. Because they've excused him from being responsible for his actions. He had some of his frontal lobe removed, and so it's "all right" for him to act like a lunatic. Because he's crazy and sick, and it's not like he'd do this normally.

Yes.

But the original Dave was fucked in the head *before* he was shot. Being shot just gave him an excuse to be suicidal. He was still completely human, and could still be disturbed by what he had done.

And. Dude. It so came back to bite him on the ass.

American TV prefers explanation and justification over moral ambiguity. Eh. It's true.

Oooh, kinky... but it's a fetish I share, I fear.
