Southland - S03E06 - "Cop or Not"

WTF? No seriously.... WTF? I don't get it. Why did the writers have to make John gay? I have nothing against gay people, I just don't see the point. John is one of the best characters on the show, and his struggles with the pain addiction and bad back now all have a new meaning :P But seriously, can't we just watch a show without someone always being gay? ugh. The murder of the week was a rather dull case, with the majority of it going towards Adams and her supposedly leaked photos to the media, and the repercussions that may come from it. It seemed rather obvious that the show was hinting that Russ was the one who did it, as he's in need of the money more than anyone. Hopefully they'll run with this side plot and it actually ends up being Adams who did it!

Also this was our first time seeing Sammy since Nate was killed a couple episodes ago. I'm not a fan of his storyline regarding his ex-wife Tammy. Fortunately she's been given limited screen time since the move to TNT. Thank the heavens for a lower budget :) Now that we find out he's the father - it will be interesting to see if he'll still pursue the gangsters that killed his partner. After all, now that he'll be a father maybe he'll realize being alive to provide for his kid will be more important than revenge? Either way, Sammy's path post-Nate will be the most intriguing part of this season. But still... John being gay? Damn... what a shame! 8/10
