Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT It's Not Always About You
By Cate | Season 7 | Episode 13 | Aired on 01.26.2003
RevCam is in his office, working on an idea for another book, when Ruthie comes in to hassle him about his therapy. Like he doesn't get enough of that shit from Annie. Ruthie thinks that not only should Annie join him at a session, but that the rest of the CamDorks should go too. As she points out, they all have "issues." RevCam looks surprised to learn that, which makes me think he's far stupider than I've been giving him credit for.
Simon confronts Asslee, wanting to find out why she's been avoiding him. Simon, who cares? Just count your blessings and leave her alone. She's practically begging you to anyway. And she's definitely not providing any answers.
Roxanne and the T-1000 are getting out of their cruiser. Their license plate number is "9999982." Shouldn't it be "666"? Kevin is whining about how Lucy won't make the effort to understand his point of view, although I have to point out that he has not exactly gone out of his way to see hers. Oddly enough, Roxanne is actually defending Lucy…sort of. They're having this conversation while walking toward a homeless guy who looks like he's jerking off. By the time they reach him, it seems he's finished and passed out. Roxanne kicks him in the foot, but he doesn't wake up, so she reaches over to shake him awake. Evidently, she's startled him, because he lashes out and stabs her with a knife. It's pretty funny. So are George Stults's attempts to act manly and in charge. After he's cuffed the confused-looking homeless guy, the T-1000 gets out his radio and shouts into it, "Officer down! I need an ambulance right away." Heh. Well, she's not down, exactly, since she's still standing there clutching her arm, which is not even bleeding very much. And Kevin's really not accomplishing much if he doesn't tell the dispatcher where to send the ambulance. Come to think of it, why doesn't he just drive her to the hospital himself? He's got the siren and the flashing lights, and he's allowed to speed.
I thought the commercial break gave me the chance to get all the laughter out of my system, but I was wrong. Down at the hospital, some doctor is tying a bandage around Roxanne's arm and telling her how serious her wound is. He recommends that she stay overnight at the hospital, but she doesn't want to. RevBong promises to stay with her and "make sure everything's all right." I think he's getting his doctorate confused with a medical degree, and the value of his presence is dubious at best, but maybe laughing at the Furrowed Brow Of Bad Acting will cheer Roxanne up a bit. Works for me.
As Kevin's leaving the hospital, he runs into Lucy. What the hell is she doing there anyway? Well, it seems that Kevin left her a message, but didn't expect her to come to the hospital. Rather than being touched that she'd make the effort, he throws her a whole whack of attitude, saying, "We were checking on this homeless man in the alley, we were talking about you, and we probably weren't paying close enough attention." Lucy incredulously asks, "You're not gonna blame this on me, are you?" I certainly wouldn't put it past the future wife-beater. Instead of apologizing for being such a shit-heel, the T-1000 wields the theme mallet instead, telling her, "This isn't about you, Lucy. Not everything is about you." Nice technique, there, Kevin. First you basically tell your girlfriend that she caused this incident, and then when she calls you on your absurdity, you twist her words around so that they become an additional insult. You know, I really thought that I'd become so jaded that I was past getting angry at this show, but then I see scenes like this. I'm curious as to how anyone, anyone at all, could feel that shit like this demonstrates family values. Really, I am. If you know the answer, please email me. Oh, and for the record? In case you're wondering? Kevin? Not really that "HOTT!!!" And even if he were, it's still not an excuse.
