Bitter as Folk

Is it just me, or is Mel on Queer as Folk just a complete, raving lunatic this season? (Or, am I even the only person still even watching the show?)

It's almost gotten to the point where I laugh anytime she's in a scene. I mean, just how pissy can one person be and for how long?

I suppose she has a right to be grumpy since her lovah' bedded a man sometime last season (seems like eons ago to me), but come on. It's not like she was sleeping around with every lesbian in Philadelphia. She got the urge for a little man action, and she let her urges get the better of her. Big deal. Get over it and move on.

Even if she's justified in holding a mondo grudge over Lindsay's one-time weakness, would any sane person really break up a home and a family over it?  Maybe I'd react the same way if the issue ever came up, but I can't imagine I'd hold a power grudge like Mel has. (Note to Ed: don't test me!) :)

I don't think she's said a friendly word to anyone all season. Every. Single. Thing. Out. Of. Her. Mouth. is vile and bitter and hate-filled. It's just laughable at this point.

Not that I watch QAF for anything other than a good dose of naked Brian and Justin, but still. It'd be nice if it had even a hint of realism.

That's called bad writing.

It's one of the reasons I've never liked QaF (except for the guest appearance by Matt Battaglia... MMMmmm)

It has been bad this season. I'm letting the episodes queue up on the TiVo so I can watch them just in case I get bored watching my fingernails grow.

If I remember correctly, Lindsey tried to stop the guy; but gave in out of curiosity. I am getting a bit tired of Mel and her attitude. I will miss the show after it ends this summer.
