Paradise isn't a character. It's a setting. I, too, am enjoying them fleshing it out as a setting, but that doesn't make it a character.

You're right, I shouldn't have even implied you'd need an objective reason. Not wanting to doesn't need a reason.

Yes, and then even better was when she was wrong, because this show isn't just interested in ticking the boxes you expect it to.

Definitely creepy. And this stuff about not being able to date rape guys if you're a beautiful woman is bullshit. He could be happily married. He could have HIV. SHE could have HIV. He could be gay. She could look JUST like his mom.

Re: first spoiler space (though not really spoilers) - That is the worst Byron ever. I hate him, and his nauseating mix of early-90s geek "this guy is everything I think is cool" and "I'm a little like this, aren't I? I know, I'll grow my hair to my waist!"

What exactly is so horrible about 30 seconds of non-realistic exposition, delivered with a joke or two?
