Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Who is Fern?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is the RA the one with the biscotti?

What is even happening?
I don't think the VM experiment was ever supposed to duplicate the Stanford experiment, so much as recall/suggest it, so I just don't have a problem with it. The kids weren't arrested off the street. They weren't deloused and chained. The scenario was different (they were more like P.O.W.'s), and it was only scheduled for two days in the first place.
"now they're making him into the concentration camp prisoners who helped the guards?!" I thought that might be a stretch, but if they really meant to suggest that, it's pretty fucked up.
I took Horshack's Stockholm syndrome as foreshadowing for whatever it is we eventually find out about the rape culture at Hearst. That may have been because I was looking very (too?) hard for a parallel between the prison thing and its aftermath and Veronica suspecting that the sorority women were complicit somehow, in the rapes.
I can't quite let that go, even though her investigation didn't connect at least this particular sorority to the rapes.

Yes, the creepy pube-head with the tea and biscotti.

The Safe Ride Home driver who also kneed Dick in the balls last week. I'm getting this really awful feeling that, whether there is a separate rapist or not, the Take Back the Night ladies are faking some of what's going on in order to inflame tension and help their crusade against the Greek system.

Yes. Moe.

Some of the features of the experiment weren't included, but there's pretty much just the one experiment where college students are randomly selected to be guards and prisoners in a mock jail. If you don't also suggest that normal students became depraved or pathologically disturbed by virtue of the exercise, it's like giving a charcter cancer and they never get sick.

Yeah, I agree with bon bon (and bob bob by proxy). The experiment was too easy for something that is supposed to be among the most profound examinations into the banality of evil. The show has trivialized torture, even though I think they meant to do the opposite. Hopefully, they will tie it to the larger themes, but it didn't happen this week.

I'm afraid you're right, and this might be the thing that makes me kick a hole in my tv. They didn't hire Sean Hannity on as a creative consultant this season, did they?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I suspect Fern.
I was wondering the same thing today. For much the same reasons as you give.

I think it would be deliciously twisted and perfect for the morally grey universe of noir. Bad things being done with good intentions.

She's just so violently "Greeks are evil!" that I wouldn't put it past her to slander the frats any way she could.
