Locker Room #18: Danny/Carmine: Welcome to the Insane Asylum!

I did like the communication between Danny and Lindsay in this one and even was able to somewhat excuse the lack of communication regarding his diagnosis. (I think the writers were stupid for doing that because in almost every instance I think the spouse is going to be present when there is a diagnosis given; but at least it didn't reflect badly on the characters the way Carmine and Anna played it.)

I think the reason I'm hated the end of the episode - well hated is a strong word, disliked - is because I have a physical disability. I know it's TV Land and they don't want him to be in the chair forever, but if that's the case why not give him a 60% chance of walking. Then I'd buy the quick recovery. With only a 10% chance it's just all too neat and tidy and unrealistic to have him recover so quickly. Plus I think it all kind of reeks of "movie of the week" or "After school special" territory and possibly of not really wanting a disabled character on the show, which surprises the hell out of me considering they had Dr. Giles in S1. I guess a big part of me wishes they'd have the balls to deal with a story of someone becoming disabled long term.

 

^^^That makes sense to me, they could have indeed gone with the 60%. But like Cyn said, it's TV land, so I think maybe they did it to increase the effect of what Lindsay told Danny? I have no idea. But I agree, 60% chances would have been more realistic in this scene. I wonder how long he'll stay in the wheelchair.

Spoiler: some episode from season 6

I forgot in which episode this will happen- also in 604 like the action scene Lindsay gets? But there will be the scene at the physical therapist's, where Danny wants to stop it and Hawkes talks to him. This will be another intense scene I think and I'm curious to see how that'll turn out.

 

I also said that moving his toes doesn't immediately means he will be moving his legs in a snap of a finger. Maybe all he will be able to move for most of the season are his toes and that will get him mucho frustrated because no progress are being made. That being said I think they made it just to increase what Lindsay told Danny. Have a cute ending and all. But I too don't think 10% is enough for any recovery. Better than none but still not that high. It will be interesting to see what kind of problems he'll have with his legs after he recovers. Surely he won't be all that swell... or realistically, he shouldn't! Maybe some limping? He might need a cane?

 

^^^I agree with you, Cyn, I'm really curious how his healing process will look like. Like how will he recover, how fast, and will he have some problems still? This will be interesting to watch and I can't wait to see it. I like this storyline a lot.

 

I hope Danny recovers soon. I was wondering how the're going to deal with his recovery?

Carmine is playing his character very well and so believeable. Well done.:thumbsup:
