:D

Thing is, loads of things cause pain and physical discomfort, but not everything causes emotional lability. Women are actually pretty good at handling pain and discomfort without falling to pieces emotionally, if you think about it.

Interesting. I don't find it "deeply insulting" to attribute unusual outbursts of emotional lability to PMS. I find it deeply insulting to be forced to concede that I actually have an psychological problem with no biological basis. I'd rather deal with the common complications of the female reproductive system than…

Totally agree with what everyone else has said here. I personally think it's quite liberating to concede that these unusual outbursts of emotional lability have a biological cause. Regardless of the facts, I don't know why Gillian Einstein thinks demonstrating that it's all in our heads is beneficial.

'And just as bad, she feels that the "PMS myth" is perpetuating negative concepts that link female reproduction with negative emotions.' Sure, but insisting that PMS has no basis in biology suggests that a condition experienced by women as physical is in fact psychological, and women have been suffering under THAT…

I think they're marketing their food to Comic Book Guy.

I don't think Denny's blanches and shocks. I think it Photoshops.

And Denny's doesn't?

I know who she is. I live in Australia, and here we'd be covering Pakistan.

I like the sub stuff, but I'm not a fan of the disparate plot points. If Tani and the SEAL's romance is going to be a feature, they need to tie it in to the bigger picture. I don't understand why Sophie needs to be there, why I should care about the minerals, why she seems to be flirting with EVERYONE she talks to ALL…

"(Even a news story of the fallout would be *something*.)" Yes, that's what I've been expecting. Everyone on Washington is watching news stories about Washington. Or the blonde girl with the baseball bat. These are all peripheral. Are there NO news stories about the millions of people nuked in Pakistan? And yeah, I…

Not all the negative comments are from haters. I like the show, but the stakes have to be believably high, and the consequences real. I get what you mean about the focus of this show being a rogue sub whose captain dared to question orders, and his determination to uncover what's actually going on. But it's not a…

He might be one of those actors who strolls onto various sets and plays essentially the same role. Creepy bad guy who smiles while plotting to kill.

Thing is, if Pakistan was "pre-emptively" nuked in real life, it wouldn't just be "mentioned for those paying attention." It would be pretty much everywhere, and nobody would be watching the angry blonde girl smashing windows with a baseball bat. I like this show, and I want it to work, and I understand that they're…
