Yes, I know it. I can't help it.
Dammit, you monsters, if I read one more of you in this article say you don't like Daffy, I'm gonna stop reading this article. THEN what will you do, huh? Huh?? YOU'LL DISAPPEAR FROM THE PAGE, YOU WILL.
Did anyone else think that Greg went out with Alison because she reminds him of Leslie, who he's in denial about having a crush on, thus all the pranks? Just me? Okay, I'll leave now.
With this Newswire picture and all that dino porno those ladies wrote, I'm a little concerned about our generation that's grown up on Jurassic Park.
Now if they made it a puppy party, that's another story.
I never thought after Beverly's death Dr. Chilton would take her place as my favorite character. Dr. Chilton.
Word 'em up. I'm still giving this show chances and whatnot, but I am disappointed with this direction. Majorly disappointed.
Still not really okay with how Beverly's character was handled, but I will say this: Hannibal's torture scene really hit an ugly part of me that was right there with Will on the "just deserts" thing.
He's on my good list forever for Pretty Poison. Perkins and Weld were amazingly "quirky-wholesome-not-so-wholesome-I-guess-OH GOOD GOD TUESDAY" in that movie.
I will say, it does seem, at least so far, that the female characters are dying at a bit of a faster rate then the men. And I'm still in denial about Beverly.
Sorry, I missed this reply. Am I going to stop watching? It depends absolutely on how Beverly's death is handled. I've reacted primarily to the rather jocular tone Fuller uses here, which is really putting me off. Again, it's not automatically sexist for a female character to die, it depends a lot on context: are only…
It might not be anti-feminist, and I'd heard about the nod to previous characters, but I do think he consciously used the names Lass and Madchen together for a reason beyond just a tribute. For what reason beyond "hey, they're both girls" I'm…really not sure.
My apologies, it looks like they edited that part out. Well, I don't care if my comment gets blocked or whatever, here's the quote in full I found on another site:
Bryan Fuller, in this article?
I've definitely been impressed up to this point by the portrayal of women and the expanded parts they have here versus the books. And again, it's not so much the fact of Beverly's death that gets to me as the way Fuller describes it here.
Well, I've gotta point out here that Beverly was in Red Dragon, too. That's what also threw me for a loop. Like, you're keeping everyone alive so far who should be for the books, except for Bev? I mean, there's still plenty of time for the other characters to get the ax, but I can't help that I'm bugged Beverly is the…
But we shouldn't let the unpleasant existence of WiR lead to a world where no female character can ever be killed. That would be as much of a disservice.
That was a very Oedipal reply. I think. I haven't finished the chapter.
It's not so much the fact that she dies, but it's the way Fuller describes her death, with the "body exhibit" and so forth. I dunno, it just doesn't sit with me well. She is a character we've grown to relate to, and if she goes out, I'd like to see it after more scenes with her on her own or more face-offs with…
