Dude is stealing his own Babylon 5 dialogue, I love that

There's just no stakes when you're narrator is 22 y/o with dead parents. Of course she's not tempted to sign the "confession" when she has no one on the outside the system can use as leverage. Also, if I got committed I'd be worried about how the mortgage would get paid, but we get nothing about her having to stash her stuff at a friend's pending her inevitable eviction.

How is Intersections in Real Time so good while this is so bad :(

Shouldn’t have a dude in a mental hospital eating grapefruit, I don’t think.

So far this is really bad, but this man writes amazing TV so I’m hoping that translates soon. Also, I wrote a 45-bullet-point tumblr post about his Babylon 5 episode that this book seems to be largely a retread of, so my hopes are high.
