My distaste for Laura Linney off-screen and her character on-screen grows with each passing episode.
Wendy this season, so far mind you, grew from the usual nuisance she is/always was to an outright unmitigated disaster and arguably the most destructive force on the show.
Her bad decision-making steers Marty from one tight spot into another and it is he who pays the price for her foolish actions. She's become so insufferable that it pains me, each time they want me to feel sorry for her... like when she has her non-chalant conversations about nothing with Charlotte asking each other a 100 times 'if they're ok'. This is especially infuriating when we're forced to watch her as she hangs on her expensive wine glass plotting against diligently-working Marty, sitting in her expensive house in her expensive clothes contemplating life while he's thrown in a hole to rot - for her illusions of grandeur because apparently 'she wants it all'.
Her character is just beyond unlikable at this point and frankly I'm beginning to think Marty is too well-mannered to keep silently dealing with her issues.
I'm just hoping he'll lose his temper at her at some point. My biggest hope is that the writers find the courage to write her off somehow this season. It would honestly increase my enjoyment of this show so much not to have to suffer intolerable fits of rage each time I see Laura Linney on screen.
Jesus, I can't stand her character so much. And her for always playing such characters. I swear she's being type-cast as the 'Femme fatale' in Hollywood by now.
