THE L. S. D. L. A. P. D. DEBACLE

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE L. S. D. WRITING DEBACLE? SPIKING THE WEDDING FONDUE WITH PSYCHEDELICS MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST STUPIDEST SABOTAGE OF A DRAMA SERIES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE "FUN" HAD IN CREATING THAT CRAP EITHER HAS TO BE UNDONE OR THE CREDIBILITY OF THE STORY HAS TO BE REINFORCED WITH MORE INCREDULOUS SCENARIOS: OR IN THIS CASE, YOU TRY TO DO BOTH CLEAN-UP METHODS. THIS IS SURELY THE FIRST NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR THIS SERIES.

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT UNFOLDS OR TRANSPIRES AFTER THE LSD DEBACLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS WHAT THIS PRODUCTION IS TRYING TOO HARD TO GET US TO BELIEVE. THIS EPISODE PROVES WHY THE "FUN THEORY" DOES NOT WORK AND WHY THE CLEAN-UP IS THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THAT DEMISE. GOOD LUCK WITH CREDIBILITY ON THIS SHOW FROM HERE ON OUT.
