i really love this show.  my friend got me hooked on it during the 1st season and i've been hopelessly addicted ever since.  the show "followed suit" and had someone in tommy's family die at the end of the last season but i'm kinda curious about something.  up until now there's always been some sort of unresolved conflict that obviously leads into another season.  aside from his father's death, tommy is kinda doing pretty (unusually) good.  drinking isn't a big storyline anymore.  he's come as close to resolving things with janet as he probably ever will.  there is the fact that new shawn took colleen (sp?) on a date but other than that there's not really any obvious dark story that's really been the meat and bones of the show in the past.  i hope they haven't made tommy "too" happy. as conceited as it sounds, the conflict surrounding tommy is really what makes the show great.  i hope that him being happy doesn't make the next season sub-par.  all though who knows? maybe something new will crawl out of the woodwork.  thoughts please!!!!  can't wait til next season.
