[edit] Societal Ramifications

"This seems POV to me."

If not POV, then certainly conjecture. Red flags go up for me when i see the sentence "Because of this portrayal, people with borderline personality disorder and depression may be more closely associated with the psychotic and dangerous reaction that Oliver exhibited." I'd argue for removing this paragraph. The article already states the portrayal of mental illness is exaggerated --Decept404 09:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Useless information

Oliver Trask may be used as a reference in an article about the supposed misleading portrayal of people suffering from psychological disorders on television, but it is highly un-encyclopaedic to slather (and I say slather because the bulk of the article was occupied by this) conjecture about the societal ramifications of such a portrayal. Interesting information isn't always relevant, or appropriate. Indja 19:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
