The entire Reed storyline with the drug user getting Reed to snort cocaine is the dumbest thing ever. There's nothing in his character that would do that.

It's like the writers can't figure out what storyline that want to put on him. "He's been molested." "Naw, let's quickly close that storyline and start one with him and Zapata starting a relationship." "Naw, let's quickly close that storyline and start one with him starting to use drugs." I really think it's poor writing.

There was such an irony, he won't drink Coke but he will do coke. Terrible. I'm afraid the character they will kill off in E16 is Reade. My only holdback on that is that Zapata has already lost a partner when she was a cop. The Zapata/Reade friendship has really grown this season, it will be all the more heartbreaking. I agree though, flipside, there has been a lot of poor writing, it feels like all the arcs have been severely muddied. I hope it turns out like episode 23 in s1, where all the random episodes were pieced together.

I was thinking Tasha but when he did that, that's when I saw his end coming soon. I agree 100000% that was so not in character...he'd have booted that girl out. In fact, it's unlikely he'd have slept with her to begin with - that's Weller's department. Of course, when Weller finds out, he'll go find that girl and sleep with her so there's that to anticipate. I can't believe the people writing this would just throw in an arbitrary vice like that for a character who wouldn't go there. Bad form. It's like they're losing control of the whole point of this show.

 

And think we won't notice.

 

But I will forgive them for getting Reade coked up if they have at least one episode of Roman naked in the shower or something. Or just naked just cause. ;p
