GAWD DAMN YOU! GAWD DAMN YOU!

"So I looked him in the eye and I told him, 'I do not avoid women, Zaius. But I do deny them my essence.'"

HAN and CHEWIE peer out the observation window. CAPTAIN CHAOS enters, looks over their shoulders.

Point taken … but in practice, even some would-be champions of women's agency (of both sexes) seem to have limited use for, or interest in, certain subtypes of women. A large kudos to OB for resisting that snare.

TV has a bias for the dramatic, so we as viewers often underrate the peculiar strengths of normalcy. But when you think about it, living an Allison-and-Donnie kind of life takes something. It can build up mental/behavioral muscles that are easy to take for granted … but that Helena utterly lacks, and that the other…

I want to keep this 100% respectful, and will as soon as I get back (I have some Kleenex stock to purchase).

"Blue" was on pretty heavy rotation when I lived in Atlanta.

Much like a bathroom stall, then.

You're welcome.

In the interests of animal welfare, I promise not to chew on them more than is absolutely necessary.

I acquired some horsemeat from a farm once, but didn't have time to get a lot. (Plus, once the horse fell off the cinder blocks, the farmer caught on and electrified his fence.)

Kira's not at the age where one's "agency" is worth much, or gets to be deferred to. However, Sarah and Siobhan are bad enough at this that it makes sense they'd make such an elementary mistake.

The movie's morality doesn't hold up to even a second's scrutiny, not even on its own terms … but then, neither does most of its logic. The Bride's character used to bother me, same as you, but I finally decided that probing her moral prerogatives was about as useful as probing the logistics of fighting the Crazy 88…
