Impregnating the first warm body around may not be the best plan....does she want to be a mother now?

Seriously, what the hell was that? Spencer just decided to shoot his load and not give her a choice regarding whether that's what she wants? He's a real jerk. Are we supposed to cheer for him? Because, no.

[marcee]

I stopped cheering for him a long while ago. Perhaps they're just making us hate everyone so that we don't feel so bad when it's finally canceled.

 

Thanks, show.

The best part of that episode was the little scenes with the staff at the yoga studio. "Namaste!"

Spencer is a tool.

This storyline unnerved me too. 

Spencer is an asshole.

What should be the new show title?

• Assholes
• Tools
• Jerkoffs
• Narcissists

ETA: Excluded "Douchebags" because Entourage owns it....

On the other hand, if the woman does not want pregnancy and she knows that the sex is not protected, maybe she should protect herself?

Spencer always "pulls out"- so she was completely surprised that SOP was changed.

It's never really been clear what all those people at ASM do, considering that they have only a handful of clients.  Nor that Spencer interacted with them at all before, except for Sassy Black Assistant.  I'm supposed to care about these people now?

This is really the worst season.  Just awful.

We're really supposed to believe that Charles, after one disastrous press conference, is being considered for a GM job by the Chargers?  

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, Spencer is the worst.  It's like the show has decided how much they can coast on Dwayne Johnson's charisma, but as much as I love him, he's not a good enough actor to make this character redeemable in any way.  I can't think of a single positive trait.  He has no loyalty, is selfish, generally a jerk whenever things don't go his way, and now he's so desperate to have a child (and only because of his "legacy"), that he's just going to orgasm in someone who hasn't shown any signs that she wants to be a mother.  Creepy.  I hope she's on the pill.

At this point, Joe might actually be my favorite character, because he might be an obnoxious loudmouth, but he at least is trying to stand by his friends, co-workers, and clients, and look out for them.  Despite being comic relief, he's actually respectable on some levels.

Other then that, it's more of Ricky possibly sabotaging his health for his career, and Charles painting himself as a target for Siefert.

Spencer should be banking sperm at a real fertility clinic...several samples could be frozen before he becomes sterile. Eliminate fertilization guesswork and increase probability of live birth.....

[SoothingDave]

And for that matter, are we supposed to know what motivates Siefert to act like such a jerk, or is that just a given?
