Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
4 or 5 episodes, Aimée.
Brenda, doesn't that still count as inappropriate and over-reacting? I mean, it's not conclusive, but people who solve problems with violence, or act out are the superset in which him abusing his daughter could fall.
As for Smallville, I couldn't do it. The prospect of good Lex/Clark looks like it's dropped dramatically. And it had already dropped enough.

No. But I don't think that's going to mean much to her dad. Or the cops, for that matter. I'm not sure he didn't get off easy, all things considered.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
looks like it's dropped dramatically. And it had already dropped enough.Yeah, I see no future for Lex/Clark . And that is just wrong.
Though Lex and his sycophant stalker / office helper were amusing. Though one clever scene isn't enough to keep me watching.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
ER: Okay, there are two 'he's involved here, right? It's not one guy sleeping with his 14-year-old daughter and giving her STDs? He's sleeping with someone else's 14-year-old? Which, you know, still v. bad.

Katie: The "he" sleeping with the 14 year old is a Doc from the ER. The other "he" is the 14 year olds dad who beat up said doc.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
does the happy dance!
I just hired someone for my big project. Yay!! I needed the help ASAP, so this is a load off my mind.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Five and a half hours, almost all of which was spent waiting (if you count time spent on trains and a bus).
Anyway. I've heard that getting a shot in your eye is "not as bad as it sounds." Which is good, as it sounds pretty terrible to me.
I also might qualify for a new study, in which they inject a tiny little steroid pill (about 0.8mm x 0.2mm) into the eye, where it releases the steroid for a few weeks, then dissolves. The purpose of the study is to (hopefully) prove that this is more effective and has less side effects than the regular steroid injection.
Anyway, he did note that the bleeding and swelling in my eye has gone down.
eta: Oh yeah, I have to see a hematologist, as out of the bazillion blood tests I've had, two came back "strange." It probably means nothing, but just in case this does reveal a possible cause, it would be best to treat it to lower the risk of problems with my other eye.
