That scene and the one toward the end where Peas is telling Frankie what to say to the news anchor woman. I see it has few fans already. I likely will be among them, seeing it was indeed "TBC" all over again despite my hope and even expectation that the two episodes would have little to do with eachother, or maybe just a mistake in writing the synopsis. But I need to see it in the whole before really coming up with an opinion of it.
THAT scene with Jackie and Fluffer Nutters was probably the best thing in the episode, along with the killer dust mites(sorta reminded me of the spiders in The Ant Bully); those things really have it in for me, too, though in a different way. Like Wilt, I can't be too far from my asthma inhaler on account of those things, among others. BUT, I digress...yes, it does appear that romance, or at least relationships based on mutual attraction, IS no longer taboo. Rather than a one-sided crush that the crushee has no clue of, it's two individuals this time, and apparently one tried to go a bit too far(whatdya expect from a guy who dresses like a pimp for Halloween, and sings like Isaac Hayes in the end credits of "Schlock Star"?). Pretty much all of the taboos that were once outlined on TV.com a couple of years ago have been breached, except for the actual death of a major character, and that's one I really hope they keep taboo.
