I don't get how that's hypocritical. How is he saying one thing and doing another?

That's a lame comparison. Not to mention insulting. Something didn't just "go wrong" in David's life. His wife walked out on him and now he's learned he lost a FOURTH child. David has shown he can drink responsibly countless times before. When's the last time JR drank responsi-- wait, he's an alcoholic! So whenever he drinks he stays in the bottle for weeks.

[DeeeDee]

He did everything he could to take Lil A away from The Chandlers then is all self righteous when Amanda, Liza & The Martins are doing the same thing to him with her baby.

[Lone Palm]

Extremely boring episode. Not even one thing of interest.

[JackPeyton]

David deserves what he gets.

That simple.

Amanda has every right to keep David from her childs life. yeah i get it, tis his child too, she slept with, etc.... but whatever. He is an awful evil person whos ets out to destroy peoples lives for fun.

[Cheap21]

maybe had this been the first time but its becoming a recurring thing with him over the past few months

I missed this episode. Reads like I ought to just skip it and move on to today's.

No AMC, I didn't want another preachifying, Babe clone (Now! With No Baby-Stealing Baggage!). No, I didn't want another/yet the same Carey screwing up JR's life. Set him free. Give her to recently missing Scott, better yet leave town. I hold no hope, however.

I am a big David fan but he's had several bouts of drunkenness now. Some of those moments have lead to him shaking and hurting women. Even acknowledging his profound losses (and that most anyone would pull one under the same circumstances), he's taken on some serious drinking (more event-based...just an observation). I think to get so out-of-control and physically abusive to women is completely out-of-character for Dr. Delish. Considering David's behavior over a period of time now, however I believe he has become hypocrite about drinking.

I am fast redlining on plot, plot, plot, plot..... I am entertained some days but find I don't care about or bother getting attached to many of the stories because there's rarely a point to any of them. The plots aren't doing a lot of favors for the likeability of AMC's cast of characters either, imo.

Liza calling Ryan out made the hour. Seriously, can that be some sort of requirement for the show--someone calling Ryan out on his crap?

[R Sinclair]

As long as it's also requirement for Cameron to undergo hefty acting lessons -- so he can legitimately act out Ryan reacting to being called out on his crap... instead of a simple . I mean, damn! Even Alicia Minshew gets all shifty-eyed and starts gulping and shaking like a nervous chihuahua whenever someone calls Kendall out on something.

And to sum up my view on David's hypocrisy about drinking... Wasn't Jake also a barhopping drunk when Taylor dumped him and David suspended him from work? Hitting up the Casino bar and ConFusion bar on the regular -- and didn't one of those stops on his drinking tour result in him drunkenly pelting Amanda with all kinds of sluts and whores? And isn't he just as judgmental of JR? And isn't he the one who just finished intentionally driving home the idea that it's David's fault this his baby is dead? THAT'S what I'm talking about when it comes to hypocrisy. Considering yourself a good guy while doing just as, or even more despicable things to someone else. There's a difference between "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" and "I'm judging you for your bad behavior, but I am NEVER to be judged for my own!"

LMAO at the recap. The adoption, eye/food sex, and Liza recaps have me LOLing at work.

[alwaysAMC]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great points - I didn't think about this.

[Lone Palm]

Yes, Jake did do the bar hopping scene for the four weeks he was suspended from his duties at the hospital, but no, one of those stops did not result in him drunkenly pelting Amanda with all kinds of 'sluts' and 'whores". He asked her if she was playing "dress up again" this time as a hooker. No doubt he was a drunken ass but what he said to Amanda was a far cry from calling her a slut or whore...playing dress up vs. real life. Although David has called her both of those names several times.

Sounds just like David when he lambasts JR for his alcoholism and then turns around gets drunk, physically assaults his wife or gets behind the wheel of a car endangering not only himself and his passenger(s) but anyone else who dares to be on the roads of Pine Valley while David does what he regularly blasts JR for doing. If JR had done what David just did David would be the first one to call JR every name in the book and take him back to court and challenge his fitness to raise a small child... Sounds like David isn't fit to raise a child either. Of course this is just my opinion.

[alwaysAMC]

^^No - you must have missed an episode, but I remember him calling her bad names at ConFusion when she was with JR - and then JR punched him out for it.

[R Sinclair]

Oh, he referred to her as a hooker? You're right. That's not the same as calling a woman a whore. True, a whore and a hooker are both names designated for woman who offer their bodies in exchange for something...

Here's the difference -- and as snotty as this sounds, I really wish people would actually WATCH the show instead of salivating over their favorite actor/couple -- JR's exhibited a pattern of destructive behavior due to his chemical dependency/addiction ever since he was 14 years old! Way back when he was strung out on drugs and drove off with a pregnant Hayley in the car with him and crashed into the side of the road. What's going on with David is recent... within the last month. I don't understand how the past few weeks, when David's been drunk twice compares to the last five years of JR's on/off/on/off/on/off sobriety -- which resulted in toppling over a scaffold of cynder blocks and construction equipment on a pregnant Kendall, jumping out of a hotel window, enabling his son to get alcohol poisoning and then holding a loaded gun and threatening to murder his own father.

Comparing David's bouts of drunkenness to JR's alcoholic fits of rage are ridiculous. If I recall correctly (since I'm not watching this week), the last time David was drunk, he was in his own house. Mabe McGrimace and KWAK went over to him. He didn't seek them out.

As for David not being fit to raise a child -- can he at least be allowed to raise ONE of his children before people just off hand judge him as a horrible father?

Why does AMC have daily posts? Shouldn't we have weekly posts like the Y&R threads?
