and having her eyebrows waxed and shaped.

You make good points, though being a woman whose very familiar with makeup, I would never pick up on them because when looking at the Nina scenes, its painfully obvious to me that she (the actress not the character) is wearing lots of makeup (the "natural" make up look is actually much harder to master than any…

And Stan has an informant in waiting by already being close with a certain someone's son.

He wants a political marriage so long as it suits HIM because this is not a marriage of equals in his mind. And Alicia getting too happy can only threaten/sabotage the arrangement he wants, which is Alicia always available for him as needed.

As I recall, he harassed her in real life pretty badly.

everyone in Hollywood wears fake hair, either in the form of wigs or extensions. Add to that perfect lighting and anything can be hidden.

If we go by how the public discusses GMO's, then most people definitely still have no basic understanding of DNA.

I think Michelle cheated because she was losing a sense of self/feeling of individuality and accomplishment (common for many stay at home moms), and David was merely a symbol/extension of the new found self-esteem/purpose that attracted her to him.

I totally agree with your first point. It is for sure a selfish act to tell, especially if you have no intention/desire to be with someone else again. I think many couples make the mistake of believing that a good relationship requires divulging all information to the other person, without asking why or what it…

Or that the "ugly nerd" realizes his own worldview and the nice guy/victim identity he's claimed for himself are what is holding himself and his own happiness back.

I looked at her as yet another character feeling insecure and doing things to make herself feel better. By Hollywood standards, she's a D-list celebrity, and she is uncertain of her fate on the show, but when she hangs around Gus's friends, she becomes A-list and the most talented person in the room. No wonder she…

Combined with the image of the 3 blond women standing in a row with identical big curls and heavy make up (one of which just happens to be holding a baby that you notice after the fact) really drove it home.

I'm holding out hope that the baby is a girl to bring some perspective to the father who used to be a sexist womanizer.

Yeah that would have been more realistic , but the show went out of its way to give the explanation of "recklessnesses" because they thought the idea of Howard having sex in Sheldon's bed was somehow too funny to pass up.

Yes there are a variety of hormonal options (I myself use hormonal but not the pill). There are also non-hormonal methods like the copper IUD.

Yeah, but that's a very abnormal choice for a monogamous, and especially a married, couple.

It really bothered me that Bernie, a biologist who has always claimed she doesn't want kids, could ever get pregnant by surprise. How?? I find it very hard to believe she wouldn't be on some form of birth control.

If he's afraid of commitment, it would make sense (and feel safer for him) to go after someone who is not totally into him. i.e.: going at something half-heartedly and not being too bummed if it ends.

She's also a bit of a generic April Ludgate.
