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.

just got finished reading Cocktail Bunny. wow. poor Jaye. it didn't cure my WTF?! feelings on Eric and the remarrying of Heidi-Ho.

"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.

Well, see, that's the thing. I was always suspicious. Guys who date Heidi Hos deserve their pain. They don't deserve Jayes.

lori, I'm hungry, let's go get LUNCH.

So that's what that ringing was.

Huh.

Well, see, that's the thing. I was always suspicious. Guys who date Heidi Hos deserve their pain. They don't deserve Jayes.

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)

Don't you think some of them pay with their pain, improve, and eventually can come to deserve Jayes?

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.

lori, I'm hungry, let's go get LUNCH.

Damn - can't! Stoopie work and downlinks.

I think Eric gave himself the rebound talk, and then looked at Jaye's strangeness again, and fell over.

Somewhere in there he forgot to consider the breadth and depth of the strangeness, to not understand that him being broken drives him to need, and her brokenness drives her away from it.

I felt he was punishing both himself (his right) and her (MEAN) by the re-marriage.
