The part where they showed Arthur meeting Patty threw me, because he had a camera and for a second I though he was meeting Shay and it was suggesting he was working against Cosima for god knows what reason.

It's also powerful if you think of their deception with the STD as akin to informed consent. Even though Mark said he loved her, he still hurt her by concealing (or not knowing about) the effects of intercourse.
Just like so many guys…

Yep. This is her "I made a foolish mistake maybe but you're gonna be a dick about it and buy into misogynistic rhetoric so bye" phase.

The thing was Gracie was on the bad guys' side, but didn't act with pseudo niceness that Henrick did. She knew Helena didn't belong, but in voicing her opinion she in fact came to realize that maybe SHE didn't belong in a society that was willing to use young women like her to carry their offspring.

Yep. Actually, I'm kind of bothered that she doesn't have scars when she was looking in the mirror.

People sometimes forget that he is in fact a Sex Worker.

No cloning kidding.

Still is

Is there a word for lesbian angsting?
Gangsting?

He's exactly what HER role would be if this was a regular show with all the men protecting their wives front and center.

Is there a Bechdel test for gay people?
Considering it was taken from Dykes to Watch out for it almost seems like the default.

I really do wish shows would get with the times. There's a tv tropes page and everything.

Any relation to Sarah Stubbs from last season?

It may be a little gender subversion. She appears unassuming and domestic when in reality she is quite ambitious and ruthless, which makes her more like THEM then they realize, only they don't because she's a woman.

Despite how slow it started, I like that they almost immediately broke up her and Mark, but now have her coming together with the rest of the group. I worried it would just be them on their honeymoon until something awful happened, but this is MUCH nicer.

It needs to be bad to show how dangerous that ideology is, of MOTHERS who care only about their daughters lives if they can perpetuate "God's Will"
It was the only way for her to REALLY break ties with them. Leaving them for a man wasn't enough, it had to be a betrayal centered around the woman she most trusts…

I love how Helena just threw down the scalpel, like she was so disgusted she didn't even want to kill her.

Huh, she was the dying woman at the beginning of the movie.

Frankly I wondered if he was going to be portrayed as asexual. He seemed in love only with science.

I was SO hoping that rather than stay at Malcolm's, Ethan would just go crash at Dorians.
