http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/TELL-ME-YOU-LOVE-ME----Episode-Eight.aspx I spent this last hour of TELL ME YOU LOVE ME looking for someone I could love.  Anyone.  Because the more I’ve gotten to know the whiney, self-pitying, childish characters, the more I’ve come to dislike them.  Frankly, that’s not a good sign. The best I could come up with is Carolyn (Sonya Walger); it wasn’t so much that I liked her but I started to feel sorry for her. She finally got pregnant and pretty much no one she tells is happy for her.  Her sister just gives her a blank stare, her boss tells her bad timing and her husband, Palek (Adam Scott), tells her he’s still not interested in having kids and is now even less interested in having sex.  That leads to dialogue such as: “I’m pregnant. Okay?  I don’t need you to bullshit me.  I just need you to find a way to be in this with me.” “What if I can’t?” “You can.” Pause.  “You can.” Understandably after that exchange, Palek goes to see therapist May Foster (Jane Alexander) without his wife.  There he reveals that he has daddy issues.  His father abandoned him and mom when he was about three years old.  Daddy didn’t want a child, either.  Dr. Foster urges Palek to come back for additional counseling with Carolyn. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/03/TELL-ME-YOU-LOVE-ME----Episode-Eight.aspx 77 60
