I recently watched Hellcats, so…

I think you'll have to decide that for yourself. :P I really like her, but she's not perfect so I guess it seems justified to dislike her if you have a reason to.

I get the last point, and I definitely think there should be consequences - but there so many different ways to show your kid their behaviour is no okay, and to keep them from becoming spoiled. The life lesson of being the only one left out of a party before you even reach school age doesn't seem very valuable to me.

I know it's not dead serious - I don't see why that matters. I was baffled by PLL's time jump too, and that show is all kinds of crazy.

Yes it is superhero-themed :P But that's not a tone.

So basically this https://www.youtube.com/wat… ? :P

Your comment made me go through the characters in my head, and the only one I feel some sort of connection to right now is David. But since he's the main character, that feels like enough for now.

That dialogue was crap. Dr. Bird seems like character from a much less well-written show.

But the mutant training right now is a type of therapy, isn't it? In an explicit way, since they talk about healing him so he can focus and learn better.

Definitely agree he still has mental health issues - it's because of how he's lived his life believing he's imagining everything, but that doesn't mean finding out the truth will just erase the pain, or everything that happened as a result.

I doubt she's a "bad girl", since she seems to be a full-grown woman. ;)

I find it confusing - it's not in the right tone for a sitcom, and doesn't match the show at all.

I would have loved to see Alba get married!

That's a different issue though! If Petra does have some type of parental or similar role then that would be quite natural.

No, you're reading the situation quite correctly.

I think the parents at my school (in Sweden during the 90s) had a kind of unofficial "either invite everyone or just your friends" policy, so no one would feel especially singled out and left out. That seems like a solid principle to me. You just don't invite everyone but one kid to a party, even if you have a…

I hardly know a single person who hasn't hit another kid at some point in their childhood, or gone through many workdays substituting at preschools without seeing it happen, so I can't imagine a zero tolerance, one strike policy of that kind working. I totally understand that you took care of your kid first! If your…

No you don't tell a 4-year-old that. I don't know how to solve a situation like that, but it's NOT by telling a little boy that he wasn't invited to a party because he acts badly. That's for later in life.

She did "parent"/discipline him though. I recognize the tone, and it's not the same most people use with other people's children (I've slowly learned to discipline children outside of my family, as it's an essential part of the job when subbing at a preschool, but I use a different type of voice and gesture. And I…

I was avoiding the episode because I wasn't ready to see the grief after Michael's death - as well as just Michael being dead, which makes me personally sad - but now that I didn't get it, I really wish I had. All my favourite TV stories involving death have taken the time to show the first time afterwards and really…
