It's more serious for her. She has been able to enjoy sex but fears abandonment, betrayal and rejection. She's happy to be the iniitiator & the one in control. She is used to feeling unloved & may fear she is unlovable. She seemed in the beginning to feel comfortable in a group where nobody knew her very well(partying…

He's adorable as the clueless tone deaf American, played the way the parents see him. The test of his acting skills would be if the writers gave him scenes with any glimmer of attractiveness to explain what his girlfriend could possibly see in him.

Yes, I thought it was reruns from the first season when I saw it in the onscreen guide.

Like the scientists/bureaucrats who sterilized Latino women tested syphilis on Black men in the Tuskegee experiment, and racial cleansers/eugenicists/supremacists throughout history. Which is why the story would have been much thought-provoking if the Abbies had turned out not to all be bloodthirsty savages.

The kind you find in a second hand store? She wore a raspberry beret, and if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more.

Maybe it's the judges stereotyping—because she has technique she must be lacking personality or what Nigel calls "being entertaining" or whatever it is he condescedningly says Virgil (and past hip hop winners) have.

Yes, likely that everyone else got that you were riffing/being whimsical & that's the fun of A.V. comments. I wouldn't mind a whole post on whether they are using Britishisms or purposely avoiding them for benefit of the American audience & certainly enjoy a riff on names.

Just cliched.

It's more of an off the top of the head recap than a fresh take on the episode/show, so the recap errors really stick out.

Clearly the scene with the occupational therapy synth closely assisting his client to knead dough as an upper extremity strengthening activity made a big impression on the reviewer. tho to me it was a cheap attempt to balance all the straight male aimed soft & hard core innuendo.

Of course each reviewer(and each reader) consciously alerts to/defaults to personal frameworks/sensitivities & cultural hot topics in the moment/on a first watch. As a writer, you are more self-aware & transparent about the filters & lenses you bring to your quick analysis than the usual recapper. You might not…

Yes, I passed on one to my daughter that my great aunt gave to me. It was made by my great Aunt's aunt, so four generations, and recognized by anyone in the family as "one of Aunt Becky's afghans."

Bit a very confidence inducing doctor, for sure, because even back then there were tests & treatments. He had to have done a lead blood level once he suspected lead poisoning. That would tell them and us how high the lead content was in Gordon's blood. If high, he could have had chelation therapy to temove the excess…

Is it possible that Alex McCown does not care to read the comments?

Thanks, going to check that out.

Guessing you're not a breeder. The first few years (for breeders) can be labor intensive.

Have not read the books, but apparently the author, and the writers here, are fine with -2000 small town thinking & might even prefer it to today. If not, why not show/highlight the grief of a gay individual who was trapped in WP missing her partner or have the scientist communicating with scientists in other…

Yes, yes yes. Just spoke to someone who goes back(she emigrated many years ago) and is gobsmacked by the self-repression & acceptance of corruption by otherwise sophisticated & educated people and the fear in those who do see. So even if WP had the "economic development and openness to the Western world" that was…

In this reality, tho the cheating guys are racked with guilt—-and if your lapse, like the real estate agent's, resulting in your never seeing your family again, that might be an extra layer of guilt/remorse. Therefore a crueler method, to make the victim "responsible" for his victimization due to his own choices.

It's the innately biased opinion of a eugenicist who thinks the best use of a smart disciplined black man is to kidnap & assault.
