The Slap Needs To Be Slapped

Hey People,

I quit. That was fast. The 2nd episode of The Slap irritates me to no end. I can't believe the parents of the psychotic kid is suing a parent who slapped their son. I understand being upset about their son being hurt, but let's face it, everyone wanted to slap that kid, Harry just had the balls to do it. He said he did it because the boy was swinging a bat at his son, but I think that's what got his attention. He didn't slap him until the boy kicked him in the shin, so I thought it was more of a knee jerk reaction, which would probably would have worked as a better argument in court.

People sue over the dumbest things. I swear if I was the judge I would have given the parents a talking to about wasting my time when there are murderers, rapists, and children who get abused daily who need me more than some kid who was being a dick to everyone and got slapped so hard that probably with less than hour the mark was gone.

Harry might be seen as the bad guy for slapping someone else's kid, but the real bad people are the parents who are most likely going to use this situation as the reason why their kid is so messed up in the future. That kid has no discipline whatsoever.

I really needed to vent that one out. The show is only 8 episodes long, but I wish they didn't go the legal route. This is some rich people problem. There is so much injustice in the world, a kid being slapped for annoying the shit out of everyone isn't high on that list.

Hey People,

S2 E11

Case-of-the-week: A man who tried to save his people by taking a CIA agent as his prisoner so it would gain the attention of Americans. A leaking pipeline was making people sick, but in the end, it turns out it was the collaboration of an American pipeline and an Uzbekistani that caused this epidemic. Red had his endgame in sight the whole time. He would get rid of the American pipeline and replace it with a French one. New pipeline, sick people compensated, bad guys go away, and Red makes money for making the deal. Win, win.

Meanwhile, the guy who was killed by Tom on the boat was discovered and now Liz is in some deep shit especially since the big guy who babysat Tom is now talking.

Also, Aram couldn't help Liz with whatever she found in that stuffed animal, but he did say it was holding audio. My guess is Red is on that tape.

Did anyone else notice Ressler dropping hints of lovers' quarrel between Red and Liz? He even asked Red if he was in the doghouse. I just hope they aren't father/daughter or that would have been all kinds of weird.

The Slap Pilot Review

S1 E12

I swear, just looking at Connor gives me panic attacks. I'm worrier too, but I do all my worrying in thought, not spewing so loud that Annalise would hear.

Case-of-the-week: I'm actually getting sick and tired of Annalise winning all the time and the way she won this one made me roll my eyes. I couldn't figure out why the guy would talk. He had more incentive not to talk because if he didn't, he would have gotten his green card. If this man was supposed to lay low, then why is he posting on Facebook. Just made no sense, but whatever Annalise is a genius and all that and she wins cases. This show should stick to what it does best--covering up murders.

I'm hoping that we won't just see the Keating 4 + Rebecca all sitting together and worrying the whole time because that's all we've seen them do so far when they're not working a case. Well at least Wes is trying to solve the mystery of the last owner of his apartment. If they didn't have Annalise, they would have been caught by now, but I still don't get why she's protecting them. I know she said it was because of her they're in this mess, but I'm just not seeing it at least not to this extent.

Bonnie has figured out everything and one thing I'm not getting is how did she figure out the kids were the ones who murdered Sam. Everything else connects the statue, the carpet, and she may have gotten Connor because of his car being there, but how everyone else? Is it because Connor said he was with the gang and therefore they must be covering for him. I'm going to go with that because nothing else makes sense. So is Asher now the only one who isn't in on it? No one should tell that douchebag. He would just yell it to the world. We already know he can't deal with injustice as we saw from the previous episode before this (wife abuser/kidnapper/rapist).

I will say this folks, I was shocked and stunned that Annalise and Frank setup Nate. I just feel so bad for this guy. He really didn't do anything wrong and I bet this will be the case Annalise loses. I guess she will only lose when it's convenient for her.

Guess what? Mama is coming home and I can't wait to see Cicely Tyson.

The Slap Pilot Review

Hey People,

I haven't done a review in awhile and The Slap wasn't on my itinerary, but since the show was so hyped because of the controversy and because of its ratings I decided to check it out. Also, the fact that it's a miniseries was probably what pushed me to watch it the most because there has to be an ending like the Australian version, which I've never seen. I ended up liking it. Let me explain.

Summary: To celebrate a man turning 40, his family and friends were invited. One of the couples had a huge brat as a kid (the parents could not handle him) and so another parent stepped in and slapped him. Everyone was in an uproar. Some for the slap, and others against it.

In all honesty, I grew up in a family that didn't slap kids on the face, but definitely spanked you everywhere else. There has always been a debate in America on whether spanking your child is abuse or not or even if its the right course of action to take. I think most just go with the rule "if it's your child, you can discipline him/her anyway you like" but disciplining someone else's kid is a whole other story. There definitely is a fine line between abuse and discipline and I believe most can tell the difference in a situation. But I can tell you right now, if that was my child he definitely would have gotten spanked and electronics would be foreign to him. But if it was someone else's kid, most likely a timeout and if that didn't work, I would put him with the adults. There is nothing worse for a kid than to listen to adult conversations. Will bore the crap out of them every time.
