Thanks, Frank.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked the ending to Totem Mole, although I think that the it could have been stronger. It's bits of the middle that I properly disliked. Well, apart from the krav, of course. That was perfect, if mispronounced.

What was it that people disliked about it? It wasn't one of my favorites, but I did like that, unlike what would've happened on some shows, Sharon didn't best Littlefoot. Littlefoot didn't get some comuppance for being such a wench.

Hey. New board.
Assuming I'm going to like Caged Bird, which I'm about to watch. (Farewell, sweet Wonderfalls), then Barrel Bear and Safety Canary will go down as my least favorite eps. Totem Mole was all right, I thought, and Safety Canary was fine except for a few bits, but Barrel Bear drove me batty.
Lying Pic and Cocktail Bunny are winning in my brain. I love everything about Heidi's appearance, I think.

I can see being twigged by the mystical Indian thing, I wasn't, but I can see it. As far as the correct tribal stuff, I'm too ignorant of those things for it to have bugged me at all.
Littlefoot didn't bother me at all. Taken out of the setting, I could point you to a number of people I know who are a lot like that. Personal achievement even or sometimes especially at the expense of others. When Sharon said they were both at the top of their class, it wasn't enough for her to point out that she was number one, but also that Sharon was not in the top 5. I'd be willing to bet, that were she an actual person and not a character, that the reason she'd quit the big firm wasn't so much to come back and better the reservation, but becuase she couldn't be top dog at a big prestigious firm, but could rule the roost at the reservation.

I don't remember people disliking the fact that Littlefoot was a super Type A -- just that she was all MilitantNative with it.
I found the episode way heavyhanded, and that there was opportunity to be way more clever (not in the bad way) with the ending -- having it that they needed a casino cracked me up, and the mystic light she walked in on also made me laugh -- but it was way too weak, and for the cleverness we know Tim has, so much more, so much less typical could have been done.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But because she was super Type A and Native both, that sort of automatically adds up to militantNative.
Again, not my favorite, but didn't irk me either.

Why, Heather? There's plenty of opportunity to be a hardassed obsessive without being nationalistic -- I know plenty of black people, for instance, who didn't go that way. The fact that her ethnicity drove that is one of the things that bothered me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ah, see I think we're seeing it from two different angles. I don't think her ethnicity drove it. I think her topdogism drives her nativism not the other way around. I think if, as she may have expected given her personality type, they'd instantly made her partner at the big firm and she'd been able to go after huge cases, she be happily suing big companies' butts off and smiling for the cameras with nary a thought about the reservation.
