"I, personally, don't like them doing story lines like this one because I feel like they are, in a sense, abusing all of the true victims of the 9/11 horror.

I agree with the first part of your statement completely.

While I think that a lot of people do tend to place this in the back of their minds, I dont think that they should rely on fake ( for lack of a better word) tv shows to remind them. It also makes me mad to hear someone tell me "this is the way it is because I saw it (on whatever fake show). Yet, if you asked them when the last time was that they sat down and read a newspaper or watched the news, they couldnt tell you.

As far as the story line goes.... "Doc" has been under a lot of pressure leading up to this event. He thought that they were going to close his station down due to the fact that they were told they werent allowed to stay at that station when not on a call. They had to park at different locations outdoors in their vehicles. The story went on from there and ended with him holding some of his coworkers and his new boss hostage. He shot the new boss as a way to get "his message" across to him....on and on.... Now that they have him in custody, they are saying that they think most of his problems stem from stress from 9/11. I think the story line wouldve gone just as well if they wouldve just said that he suffered from stress ---period.


In the end its the mix of reality tv mixed with non-reality tv that really bugs me.

I just wondered how others felt.
