Apparently his is the only important one. That's only problem number one in the cavalcade of bad decisions made by Veloz. I'm no genius in the ways of love, but I do know that there is a reason people fall in love. Not in Veloz's little world where Hurley just goes gaga for a guy she sees shoot up in her bathroom. After School Specials do, but with much more expensive sets, better lighting and no Matthew Laborteaux.
Drugs are bad and drug addicts are bad people, except for the hero who is just confused.
There is no upside to drugs in this world, no explanation of what draws people to them in the first place. To insure that we won't give a rat's ass in his story, nothing Stiller loves is ever on the line. He is never less or more of a mess so far as I can tell. I don't want to heap all the blame on Veloz, though. Stiller and Hurley are so wrong for their roles that they might as well be played by sock puppets.
