Things getting dicey

"Great"

By Scarpad, Mar 30, 2009 Report Abuse

I can understand Why Tara would want to bee off her meds and why the family would go thru with it, as long as Tara is not a danger to herself or her family, but we are seeing thru the last few episodes that this is not the case, that her alters do put her in dangerouas situaions where she could be raped or harmed, and it's bordering on ridiculous that the family would allow her to continue to be off the meds. Hopefully this will be adressed in a future episode if she continues along the same lines. Of course there is only one episode left for the season, we'll see.moreless

"Great"

Interesting episode as everything is now really spiraling out of control. Tara is starting to have some crossover between alters and is experiencing a sort of double consciousness briefly as she transitions.

In the previous episode, Tara appeared to transition from T back to Tara because of the pain of the needle in the tattoo parlor. Similarly, the touch of the masseuse brought out Gimme at the spa causing Tara the kind of public attention and humiliation we haven't seen up until this point. As she was running through the spa, covered in a sheet, I was starting to wonder if she was really coping at all and if maybe she needs a lot more help and CLOSE guidance than she's getting.

If this wasn't enough, by the end of the episode, we see T making out with Marshall's love interest, Jason. I wonder how much her family CAN take and how much they should take and how do they try to draw that line? I blamed Jason more so than I blamed Tara but either way... Poor Marshall. I couldn't decide if I thought Jason looked like he was enjoying his time with T or not...

I am interested in what Dr. Ocean would have to say about Tara's really bad reaction to their termination. I've loved this show all along so far but I'm disappointed to see that there are only a couple of episodes left just as things are really getting good.moreless
