As we all know, calling 000 means your mugger/assaulter/rapist/murderer will immediately run away, or just hang out with you until the police arrive.

So are you saying a woman walking home alone at night through Princes Park is equivalent to her jumping in the ocean with a bleeding foot? In as if you do something like that you’re just asking for trouble?

I remember coming home to Melbourne for a bit from NYC, and having to walk home at night and suddenly being struck by how vulnerable I was and how scary it is to walk down a wide, tree-lined streets with almost no one else around and how the pools of dark between the lamplight could be dangerous. And, how I was less…

thank you for posting that. It’s always on the woman, and not ever on the man. And this is all spot on.

The advice is fine, but I think the problem people have is...she did that? And perhaps something added about she didn’t deserve this, nor ask for it, and we are going to work harder to make Melbourne a safer place.

There’s a definite element of victim blaming there, intentional or not. She didn’t invite someone to attack, rape and murder her. Even if she called 000, he most likely would have done it anyway.

Exactly.

That’s nice. Now, please, someone save People of Earth.

I’m straight and I agree. We label ourselves because it’s what the world has told us to do. This series was about being human, in however way you are.

*super interesting refers to the info dame-with-a-brain shared, not whatever drivel I spouted.

oookay, ms smarty pants, outshine me with your fancy knowledge there! ;)

I was hoping for blindfolds.

Watch it, please. It’s definitely worth it.

I’m going to have to watch the ending again. I’m glad we got one, but also gutted we didn’t get the remaining three we were promised. I think on platforms like Netflix, they could have given us that and spent way less on the remaining three seasons.

I’m agreeing with the others here, give it a go to the fourth, if you feel the same way, then it’s not for you. I liked it, and watched distractedly, until the fourth and then I needed to binge, and it is much more fun to watch again, too, as so much in the beginning episodes click and make sense on a repeated…

She might have been doing just that (the smiling because of the wedge) but it struck me more as what happens when you are so close to something and also on the edge of an angry, bitter, cynical despair, and it all falls apart, because of course it does. There is no escape. What was she thinking? (that kind of smile)…

But the thing with the bible, and this is an important point, is there are different interpretations in different texts of the book (this is wording and it’s been years since I’ve had to pick one of those things up), and also many, many interpretations made by the reader to suit their needs. So perhaps that was they…

I’ve only ever seen him when he was pretty in Shakespeare in love. He was okay in that from distant memory. But the character feels like it should be like that.

It was Fred, in the episode First Blood, and then he creepily hit on her and she rebuffed him by telling him she didn’t want to hurt the baby by having sex.

I think it might be because Fred is utterly weak. Serena was always the driving force. And now he has tasted power and enjoys it and all the corruption that comes with it while also acting pious. And he’s always been weak, yet (I assume) borne of privilege.
