I've been thinking since we started this conversation that I would not like Brenda's end justifies the means philosophy in real life. But on TV, I'm totally fine with it.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Stuff that makes for great TV would suck for having to live.

Oh yeah. A lot of characters I enjoy on TV I'd dislike in real life.

Always Anti-fascist!
Like when Dr. Chase gave that little cancer girl her first kiss cause she might not get to have one. In the show, I thought it was a beautiful moment. Reading about it in the newspaper, I'd be skeeved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On TV I do want to smack her for it, because she's so clueless and smug.

Oh, that creeped the hell out of me. There are lots of characters that people adore that I can't stand. IE, Dexter. I've tried to watch the show, and I just can't.

My parents love The Closer and they were over last night so we rewatched the first ep from this season. It's was an interesting contrast because her response, when the lawsuit was mentioned, was so clearly "I did nothing wrong!" when clearly, she did. I mean, was it satisfying that the guy was killed by his own gang? Of course, but still not the right answer. But by where we are current day, she knows she was wrong - I think.
So I guess she has become less clueless and smug, but maybe not enough to actually change.
