i'm pretty sure Teddy and Percy are in less eps this year because they upped the amount of episodes Jason's in, but i wouldn't swear to that in a court of law.

Okay, I'm hoping to do a series of posts (with a little help from Buffy) about this blog entry: [link] "TV: We're losing ground and now is not the time for silence."
My first installment, which limits itself to the bloggers' points about race, is up: [link]

I can't make it all the way through that "critique". Is it ever mentioned that Duncan was also drugged when the "rape" happened? That's a crucial bit o' info that the writer conveniently leaves out.

I have avoided the article up until now, but i just started reading it and i can't get any further than the second paragraph. why? i'll quote.
She has to fit into the same cookie cutter mode. Actually, it's a smaller mode these days. What you see on the big three networks? It's a smaller mode than what you would have seen in the seventies.
emphasis mine. i think the word they're going for here is mold. i have decided since it only took me two paragraphs to find something to nitpick that i'm not going to waste my time with the rest of it. no head thunking for me today, thanks!

Our wings are not tired.

I tried a bit, but the grammar errors bugged me too much to continue. The mixed up pronouns and the use of the wrong words like tiggy mentioned, it just hurts my head too much to read.
Just a reminder of why I don't stray far from home.

I have a screed (or rebuttal of same, I guess) in need of facts.

That's a crucial bit o' info that the writer conveniently leaves out.That is exactly the information which prompted me to respond to it at all. Then I reviewed the whole thing again today, and realized I was gonna need a bigger boat, which is why I'm doing the series of lj posts. No more than one of us should have to read through the whole thing AND try to respond. I'll link 'em here, as I make my way through the dross.

Normally, you know I'm all over that, Narrator. But I do think the discussion of Wallace and Jackie, and the rape issue deserve serious consideration, even where the blog doesn't.

Is there a reason you put "rape" in quotes, Jon? Is it to indicate that it wasn't a "real rape"?
Within the context of the show, we see in the first episode the flashback where Veronica describes it as a rape when she goes to the police. So there's that.
Also, sex without consent is not "rape." Sex without consent is rape. It's not maybe-rape. Show me where Veronica said yes.

Hey. New board.
The implication of the show is that she consented, but didn't remember consenting (or, obviously, anything about the encounter) the next morning. Certainly, drugged!Duncan THOUGHT she was consenting, and the description provided by him, Carrie, and the (admittedly unreliable) flashbacks seems to show that she was rather happy with the situation when it happened. I'm not sure that qualifies as rape - to some extent, I believe intention matters.
I mean, the next morning Duncan was as unconsenting as Veronica was. Was he raped?
