Quote:Well, you know how the coyote always falls down cliffs and get hit by rocks and falls down cliffs and then gets hit by rocks and all that? And, sure, at the time it looks like he's in pain, but after a new scene, he's all better. And it's funny, but it's not DRAMATIC (lightning flashes, thunder rumbles, women scream). And it's much the same with ol' Dougie-doug.The irony of negatively comparing Doug to Wily Coyote amuses me
I am a little confused with parts of your criticism though. On the one hand you want Doug to get more screen time, but on the other hand you want him to get banged up enough to lay him up for an entire episode, maybe more. Those two things seem to be in conflict a little. You can't have Doug getting punked every time he gets into a dust up, since lying in a bed isn't very interesting. Maybe if he had a moral conflict to agonize over, but right now his problems are less philisophical in nature and more practical. To crib from The Simpsons, he not worrying about if "its right to buy a Chrysler" but how to build the Chrysler itself. It doesn't seem to work out to have him get pulverised and more screen time, especially this late in the game. So could you explain a little of what you mean?---------------
