I thought the Swede's comments were meant to stir up trouble between Durant and Bohannon…convince Durant he has a shot, even tho TFHMotW clearly has a thing for tortured Johnny Reb guys. 

Agree with your point had they cast the girl across the street…even Dahlia (the Hines/Mohr daughter) comes off as a teen, despite her sexualized outfits and the fact she's probably over the age of consent in real life.  Her cutsey dialogue with her dad is even worse than George and Tessa's on paper, but on screen it…

Maybe it's because Keith was bald, or because Veronica looked more like a high school girl than someone who could open her own romcom with Josh Dumal next weekend or because she always called him "Dad" not "Keith"…  But while I think it's always been there to a greater or lesser extent (including last night*), I think…

I thought it was canon that he HAD a sister, but she died or something.  Just not something you want to remind your young triplet nephews every day.  See also Scooby/Scrappy Doo.

I hate to agree, but I do.  First 10 minutes, I was bored waiting for the two of them to get together for some creepy subtext.  Once it did…oh man, that look of love in Tessa's eyes…  The Ricky/Lucy like comedy… Uhm, I digress…

Having drank at biker bars in Daytona, there is a huge perceived difference.  Theory goes coke/weed are "from the ground" and therefore acceptable while meth/crack are not.
