I don't watch The Mountain just because of the lame writing.
No worries re: writing.
I've no idea if she can act. We shall see.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Mountain strikes out on a number of levels -- pretty, acting, writing.
At the very least, it looks like Tim's taken care of pretty and writing.
Go for the threefer, I say, but I'd show up just for the writing.
And the imminent deaths.

If anyone wants to place bets on the number of gruesome deaths in the pilot, I'll hold the money.

The pilot might be a little early. He has to really make us love the characters before killing them off. Perhaps the second or third ep?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Can she act?
Can she kill?
I think the most important question here is - Can she die?

The status is NOT quo.
You've seen Photo #4, right?
This proves to me she can wax, not that she can kill.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kristin, I was thinking the same thing. Every time I see a photo like that, all I can think is "ouch!"

Oh, dear lord. I just flipped through the rest of the pics. She's very pretty, though it'll take more before I can actually remember what she looks like.
My trauma comes from reading the comments. Yuckickicick.
