What a disturbing revelation Quiet on the Set has been, and all credit to Drake Bell for appearing on the third episode of Quiet on the Set and speaking out. In this episode, Too Close to the Sun, we see the rise, rise, and rise and eventually decline (relatively speaking) of Dan Schneider. I remember Dan from his days in Head of the Class, and it's pretty much the case that Dan is kind of was the defacto head of Nickelodeon with the power he amassed. I would have like for Jamie Lynn Spears to appear on this episode and give her side of the story to the ugly rumors that have been circulating init.

So many suspicious things here in this episode, I feel like we're not getting the full story, certian parts of the narrative are being left out. Like is a mature street-smart teenage boy like Drake hypothetically capable of taking advantage of a naive adult grown man, especially when he knows it will help his career? Of course, it happens all the time. And viewers will wonder if it did happen in this case too, no matter how much embellished handwringing Drake Bell does for the camera. The million dollar question is: WHY did he keep coming back to Brian Peck, if the man was such a monster? Like a normal teen boy would NEVER let himself be groped more than once: he'd go straight to the police or his parents the very SECOND some older man tried to touch him, then probably beat him up for good measure afterwards. But nooooo instead Drake just let it happen over and over again, dozens and dozens more times (!) over a year or two period. So that's how you know that at least some part of him, on some level, did get a kick out of the attention, subconsciously or otherwise. If you didn't want it happen again and again, then SAY SOMETHING right then immediately! Not 20 years later.
