Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

you're right, sumi, they WERE oppressed

Hey, in the Village Voice this week (and I can't find the article on line) there was a story of abortion as TV's last taboo blah de blah and the author said that Christina decided not to go through with it after dealing with the lady with the miracle pregnancy. Does anybody else remember it that way? I was pretty sure the whole "you're my person" exchange was POST miracle pregnancy. I mean, nice premise for an article and they DID cop-out in the end, but at least the character (true to character) never decided to not abort (at least as I remember it)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I remember it how you do, Trudy.

Good. My annoyance is justified. (Not much feels better than that!)

I remember it that way too -- her choice was made and never rescinded. Other stuff just made it redundant.

In a way by Christina never having the abortion they were able to keep the story true and not stunt-like. She is a character who would make that choice and DID make that choice. If she'd actually had the abortion there would have been a big brew-ha-ha in the press.

Funny, it seemed like he was at the time.

Goodness, is it April 1 already? How time does fly.

Seriously, out of everyone who now wants to cover their asses and pretend they were all reasonable about this, Rumsfeld does. NOT. Get. To. Play.
