Mini Meta Monday

So apparently I'm in charge this week - lord help us all.





Okay, going for a serious tone here...

Post a prompt: a scene, some bit of back story, whatever. Then we shall all go meta – but nothing longer then the comment box. Let's cut to the quick of things people!

I always felt like this was such a big piece of Lee's character that got overlooked. I guess they thought they could make it a quick little arc that tied up neatly with the Black Market episode. But really, we could have used much more development there. It's sort of played as 'he just got over it' more than I thought was realistic.

Although, I was always of the opinion that Lee was never actively suicidal. In that one moment of despair, he didn't fight to NOT die, but I think that may be worlds away from being suicidal. Idk, honestly. Not something I know a ton about, but it seems like there's a clear distinction there. To me anyways.

Regardless, he was in a terrible spot mentally and that doesn't just go away. You can argue that they revisited it again in his weight gain, but similarly to the hooker storyline, it felt so weird and poorly done as to be useless for the character's development.

Holy cow! I had never connected the two before, but... yeah. A passive form of despair.
