Royal Pains Review: Equitable & Civil Comments (Page 2)

    I have to say that I think Evan was kind of tool in this episode. He continually tried to steal patients from his brother. I thought it was really crappy.
    Well finally a decision was made about Jill. Almost all season she was talking about how she's leaving, but never actually left. Hopefully now they will just have her stay put and shut up about leaving. Obviously she's going to join Hank in his business.

    Ditto what innerjuju said. Couldn't have put it better myself. I'm ready to pull the plug o RP. Even watching Diviya evolving character which is a real treat i might add is not enough to stem the repulsion I feel everytime the focus shifts to the whole hank/evan story. Maybe part of is that I really do not like Evans character or the actor that plays him. But I really feel it's mainly because of the really stupid and boring storyline of the hank med split

    oops...got cut off.

    ...seems to be on the mend after learning that his family's been poisoning male heirs for generations.

    Some unanswered/unresolved issues:
    1. Oh just SAY it..Cicani's got Asperger's Syndrome. No shame in it.
    2. Does the state of HankMed (sans Hank) mean that Evan has to leave the guesthouse?
    3. Writers, give us a little credit huh? Luke took a cold medicine (probably containing dextromethorphan) while under the influence of an MAOI (the anti-depressant he got from his female friend). Caution against that interaction is everywhere and the writers think we don't get it?!?!?!
    4. If Van Dyke didn't actually perform a CT scan on Hollister (ie, the placebo effect), then where'd the clean scan come from, and who's gonna tell Van Dyke that he screwed up?

    Finally....FINALLY, the writers decided to "get off the pot" and resolve the whole "Ain't Jill gone YET?!?!?!" thing. Like the reviewer, I also saw it coming and while it's a tad too "convenient" it set my mind up for a resolution for about a minute-and-a-half. When Jill told Hank that her job fell through, Divya hadn't told the guys who she'd work for so I thought "Settled--each woman works for one of the guys--problem solved all around!" Then Divya decided to split her time so that put Jill in limbo for me. I still think she'll end up moving in with the guys or with Divya and we'll see another round of "Jank."

    As for the feud, hopefully it won't last much longer. I'd like to see Boris' reaction to this. After all, Hank's there at Boris' request and Evan became part of the package. If they're not a package deal anymore...
    It's also unclear if Hank still officially works for Boris, a man who apparently isn't within easy reach of the doctor he retained, and seems to be on the m

    I am SOOOO over the feud. Perhaps it was supposed to add dramatic tension to the show. I fail to understand why the powers-that-be want to change the foundation of shows which made that popular. Clean this UP!! Mess with the basic premise too much and I quit watching (i.e., adding a baby to 'Bones'.)
