Were we the only ones to yell "Dave! MOOOOOOOO" at the screen during that first tying the bow tie scene?
I'm scratching my head over this reference.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Look at it this way--if YOU had to be naked from the waist down with your legs over someone's shoulders and them staring at the gates of paradise for a long period, and it had to be, say, someone you worked with, would you randomly choose a guy or another female?

Moreso than a woman who's never had kids?
I meant with regard to the testicular problem, not the birthing. Just channel surfing past America's Funniest Home Videos makes me flinch if I hit the ubiquitous baseball to the crotch scenes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If I were in labor, I'd want whoever had the highest probability of delivering my baby alive with all limbs intact. I really wouldn't care if they were male or female.

The guy who was Jack's best man played Titus' brother Dave on the late lamented Titus. I don't think I can explain the cow thing succintly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I were in labor, I'd want whoever had the highest probability of delivering my baby alive with all limbs intact.
I don't see any real debate in this scenario (not yours, Jessica, just generally) that this person wasn't Kate. Maybe we're more hung up on her gender than the writers or the other characters.
I guess I need to take Nutty with me if I hike pregnant. I don't know much more about birthing babies than Charlie (did he ask about towels?).

I'm thinking that's neither the guy who doesn't speak English nor the cute but high-strung guy you may want to get groiny with.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In the absence of Jack and Sun, I do think the most qualified person is Kate, in the not-panicking sense if not the actual medical knowledge sense. Or Michael, depending on whether he was a part of his kid's actual birthing. Or any of the extras who has had kids herself (except, by dint of being an extra, no luck there). The Lost Islanders are really a childless bunch, aren't they?
Imagine giving birth with Snickerbitch in attendance. I think that is the ultimate "shut up, I'll just do it myself!" situation.

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
Not so much the gates of paradise at that particular moment, though.
At that point, Joey Buttofucco could be playing catcher, I wouldn't really give a shit as long as someone was there to pull.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't want Joey Buttafuoco anywhere near my goolie, thankyew very much. Although, if I were in labor at the time, nobody would fault me for swatting him hard, right?
Catchers themselves are probably bad candidates for birth coaches, all things considered. They would be wearing oven mitts, for one thing, and would be expecting the baby to be very fast-moving.
