because then we wouldn’t get Adam, and that would suck.
I've heard about different dialects of English being, well, different, so this must be some sort of Aussie thing because that sentence makes no sense at all. ;-)
I agree to a point, and I see what you're getting at, but at the same time I can't not think about some characters that they add very little to the story, distract from the characters I do like, and on a whole that I wouuldn't miss them if they were written out (or wouldn't have missed them if they had never been in it). For instance, nothing over 4 seasons (and counting) has made me think Silas on Weeds is anything but an annoying brat who deserves to get his ass kicked. Which, granted, made me happy when he did get his ass kicked, but still; he's not even annoying in an interesting way. (Of course, with Weeds, half the cast has been headed in that direction for the last season or so; see above re: self-torture.)
These aren't characters I love to hate (I love those). They're characters who inspire no sympathy in me, who don't add to the plot, who get trite and boring storylines, and yet keep popping up as if the producer thought they were important. They're characters who annoy me all the more because the rest of the characters are so awesome that I can't believe the same writers came up with this waste of space.
But yeah, for the most part, I agree with you. ;-)
