Everyone is having a reaction to this as if Shawn is in the wrong. Couldn't it be the woman who seduces him? Couldn't he be set up? Let's give him a fair chance before we judge him, find him guilty and hang him. How many political fights have you seen where the info we get is biased or slanted?
Hi Phanta,
I think it's because Shawn was set up as the heroic hunk (taking Kyle's place and getting abducted) who's unassuming unawareness of his own hotness or MOJO (brother's girlfriend falling for him, Izzy falling for him) was somewhat endearing, to a point. Now that he's going into politricks, his cuteness can't help him. He's got to use his brain. Season 3 he backed the NOVA group, season 4 he's got to learn how down and dirty politics, or politricks as I like to say, really can be. I think he's being set up, so this episode will be interesting to see what he learns from it. But I guess the current direction of the character (I'm taking about his love life) may be a far cry from that young, naive but morally strong kid.
