Really? That's the only problem?
Really? That's the only problem?
The interpretation of past abuse being implied in the subtext of their exchanges is clearly within the realm of possibility, but at this point it is only that. The problem with the reviewer's discussion of it is presenting it as something that's been clearly established. Whether or not that suspicion ever gets…
Thank you, I'd remembered it differently and those details are telling.
A false dilemma, or false dichotomy, is a logical fallacy which involves presenting two opposing views, options or outcomes in such a way that they seem to be the only possibilities: that is, if one is true, the other must be false, or, more typically, if you do not accept one then the other must be accepted.
Rape? I have no memory of her objecting once he got to her room. Seriously?
Actually, one of the most heartbreaking moments of the entire run of the show, for me, was when Carson overheard her saying to whomever was her fiance that year how replaceable he'd be if he decided not to follow in her service after their marriage.

By this point, the ice they're sliding on is alarmingly thin. I've been valiantly struggling to give them the benefit of the doubt, but good lord, that pillow talk scene this week was totally cringe-worthy. I was almost embarrassed for her.
Her ticking timebomb quality is almost too obvious at this point.
I kept waiting for the obligatory Connor-shags-exactly-the-right-person-to-save-the-day scene.
Loves me some Krod Mandoon.
You must admit there's at least a family resemblance.
I thought much of the point was that even if he didn't actually murder the boy, he was still a dangerous pedophile and that the world was a much better place with him in prison. While I found the execution a bit rushed and contrived, I kinda liked the dramatic irony they seemed to be shooting for.
Tom Cruise.
Adelle Hazim might be available.
Not only the dialogue. A good chunk of the choreography felt like an homage to Rocky Horror.
