I have to say that reading Cocktail Bunny didn't kill my love for Eric, but I realize that I don't have a strong impression of how that character plays from the script. For me, Jaye left off the page, Eric, NSM.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

What is even happening?
I have no strength of character. I went on a jag this morning, and read all the scripts available for the episodes I haven't seen. And I didn't even read them in order. I'm a 'shipper, dammit. You can tell by the order in which I read them:
Cocktail Bunny
(is this aka
Brass Monkey?)
Safety Canary
Lying Pig
Lovesick Ass,
then
Crime Dog.
I need to go boil my shipshipshippy self in bleach.
(I don't hate Eric. I am broken for Jaye, though.)
It's been so long since I've rewatched the four episodes I do have, that in my head, the role of Eric is now being played by Matthew Fox, except for select moments, when I manage to remember TL. I am having a hard time imagining Jewel in the Heidi 'ho role, because I like Jewel and hate Heidi, because I'm shipshipshipper. Shoot. I should have waited.
Oooh! I just realized I missed Muffin Buffalo. Might as well go read that one, too.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"Heidi-Ho, Gotta Go!"
I love how Mahandra and Aaron both always jump to Jaye's defense, even when they are personally befuddled by her apparent whackitude. Fiercely loyal.
Jaye is clearly too good for Eric. That boy started out great, but his spine totally leaked out his ass. Eww.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Well, see, that's the thing. I was always suspicious. Guys who date Heidi Hos deserve their pain. They don't deserve Jayes.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
So that's what that ringing was.
Huh.

Don't you think some of them pay with their pain, improve, and eventually can come to deserve Jayes?
(some is not necessarily Eric, but not not Eric, either. A generic some, not an eric some)

Not without an intervention by Dr. Phill.
Door. Mat. And also a tendency to be overly forgiving, or in Eric's case, to see something that isn't really there.
