Oh yeah, haha I forgot about that pivotal crime, yeah, she's screwed

I probably know a lot less about Middle Eastern cultures and politics than you so I still learn something….and even, on occasion, realize I am wrong (don't tell though)

``Mental illness doesn't preclude seeing many things clearly``
I think you hit the nail with this line,. in my view medication is often more so the world can deal with the people who have been deemed mentally ill than vice versa. I wonder how barbaric chemical lobotomies will seem in the future.

And pretty ironic/sanctimonious given the CIA`s relationship with arms and drugs trading, money laundering, etc. I wish the banker made her cry like a little bitch for the second time this episode.

I can`t believe her own sister sabotaged her hearing, what a total douche. I would never ever forgive her if I were Carrie. Even if she wasn`t her sister, as her physician she has an obligation to call bullshit on that unwarranted involuntary admission and draconian drugging thing.

I would totally jam their surveillance with all sorts of nasty sounds and photos just to fuck with them, oohhh I am such a rebel (inspired by Micheal Weston)

but Fara is a poor substitute for Carrie, no fortitude at all

It's OK, I didn't really get what all the fuss was about either. Maybe because I didn't hear about it until after the series ended, but I was surprised by its acclaim after watching the first season.

Yes, I always seriously wonder about the directors/writers of those scenes. I cannot imagine wanting to film a teenager in a sex act, no matter what the context.

agree, and even that accounting catch didn't seem so clever - noticing money out is less than money in can't be that difficult, can it? Plus her speech was kind of annoying - banks and corporations are not exactly known for their stand up morals.

because labia just doesn't pack the same metaphorical punch

My limited experience (professionally) with shrinks pretty much confirms this. There's also a prevalent notion in the medical field that psychs tend to be wacko themselves, much like someone might be drawn to oncology who had a personal experience with cancer, etc. There's a lot of power in that role, doubly so given…

"Part of it is people don't wanna watch teenage drama no matter how well it's done. "

I think they had a relationship during her month long stay (though how they pulled this off in their gestapo cell-phone-banning rehab type facility is a mystery)

I must say I am impressed at the commenters' discussion of touchy subjects, disagreeing with each other even, while not being imbeciles about it. Too bad our leaders often don't act the same way, they could learn something from here.

@bdawgxl Thank you for this discussion, it has been interesting. I view point one as not just a nearby school, but at the schools where it actually happened, which would totally be a slap in the face IMO. I live on a reserve in Canada and I cannot believe it when people come preaching their religious shit door to door…

I think she nails the portrayal, but her involuntary commitment is completely outside the parameters of ethical care according to Canadian standards. That doctor deserves a shot of Thorazine up his keester.

Thank you for answering my question. Is it safe to assume that headscarf = Muslim (if worn by choice) or is that still a leap of logic?

Can there be a parallel made between condemning the Catholic Church even though the Pope himself wasn't diddling children (as far as I know)? And does the analogy of wearing a crucifix to work at an abortion clinic hold? I ask sincerely, as I am well versed with the nuances of Christian bigotry (both of and by) but I…

That's basically the circle of life
