Why does Dora need therapy?
TheEvilDog:
Except you've ignored posts and reasonable explainations of why she should see someone, all the while espousing your belief that its rubbish and that we wish Dora's character to be changed into something else. We don't.
Lets look at a similar storyline done in the comic, when Dora and Marten were beginning to notice that Faye was drinking to excess, a lot. Did they have any right as her friends to advise her to seek help, to see someone? Thats what we've seen here. One of the cast was (or still is) on a self-destructive route, that one of their friends noticed, because they too, were on that path. Look at Faye since she began seeing Doctor Corinne, and how far she has developed as a character. Thats what the therapy storyline leads to, character development, which for any story is essential. Thats what we want with Dora, character development, otherwise, what do we have left? A once popular character stagnating, becoming less and less popular to the point where they are eventually packed onto a bus and sent off, or worse, killed off.
Thats the reason why we feel Dora should be in therapy, to develop her character, and to also learn more about her past.
You're entitled to your opinion of course, but to ignore others for the sake of your own is both foolish, and likely to get you into trouble in any stage of your life.

I agree that Dora needs therapy, but not because she's planning to go on a date with Jim (that is the most normal decision she's made in a long time).

How am I ignoring posts? I read them and respond with my opinion which differs from yours. I acknowledge, I just don't agree as this is an opinionated topic as I've said many times.
You basically just said that because I dont agree with your logic that I'm foolish and will get into trouble at some stage in my life. Huh? Who is we in your statement...who all do you speak for?

You ignored plenty of posts. Your opinion isn't often presented as opinion, and you twist what the characters say (even going so far as to state that they said things they didn't), and simply having a differing opinion doesn't make a topic "opinionated."
TheEvilDog also never said that you're foolish because your opinions differ, he said ignoring the opinion of others (and I assume he means those, like throughout this thread, who have something material to back up their opinion) is foolish. Quite different statements.
By the way, if I may be so bold, "we" happens to be most of the people in this thread. You need only re-read it to understand that.
I'll post a more detailed reply in response to your assertions when I have the time to reference a few things.
Edit: In the spirit of not sounding like I'm trying to "correct" people rather than information, as it may unintentionally come across that way, that response won't be coming. Besides, I think it's been made clear it doesn't really matter one way or the other. :P
Is it cold in here?:

Yes, please! It's far from clear that what we've heard about her past is enough to account for her current issues. There may be something interesting waiting to be discovered.
