the best friends you’ll never have

Is this even a contest? Can you actually have an answer other than “Patrick Thomas” and not catch flack for it? He left and doesn’t send child support, does that weird thing where he secretly visits Kristy and won’t let her tell anyone, and doesn’t invite his youngest son to his wedding to Zoey, leading to fandom speculation that David Michael is not Patrick’s biological son.

And then he talks about having kids with Zoey! Nooo! Why did Zoey marry him? She seemed like a cool lady. Big mistake, Zoey.

An interesting thing that I have been noticing lately is that a lot of people seem to dislike Watson now, if you read BSC Snark. I haven’t read that many LS books, but he certainly seems to come off worse in those, especially in Karen’s Stepmother.

Poor Kristy, I guess. Although I have to say that I enjoy the development of Kristy and Watson’s relationship over the course of the series.

Run, Zoey! Fast and far away! She even knows how badly Patrick treated his kids.

You’re right. There really is no contest.

There was even one book where Kristy mentions that Louie the dog seemed to know that David Michael got cheated out of having a father. So even the dog knew. I genuinely liked Watson Brewer though.

@eowyn: I always liked Watson too, but I think he comes off less well in LS.

Yeah, Patrick’s really the worst.

Obviously Patrick is the worst, but I might not have thought of him right away because his appearances are so rare. Out of sight out of mind.

I didn’t mind Watson until I started re-reading as an adult. I like him less now, but I still wouldn’t call him the worst.

I think the Watson hate is mostly from the fact that he gets Karen and Andrew over so rarely. And when they are over, he has a baby-sitter.
