Quebeckers aren't really rare and mysterious.
Untrue! Exotic and strange. Very few Americans have heard Quebecois. You might as well be doing a Basque accent.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Please, I live in the near-rural South and I've palled around with more than one person from Quebec.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, maybe they're hard to find in San Francisco (for no reason I can work out), but if I can find them in Detroit and it's not my job, Archer has zero excuse for that crap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just going to throw it out there that all regional accents are almost always crap on tv.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to throw it out there that my point was that that was worse than average, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
BBT Question from this weekend's catch up on shows: Is it just me, or has Sheldon gotten a lot more misogynistic this season? Maybe I am misremembering past seasons, but his women are weakminded/illogical/lesser beings comments seem to have really ramped up this year.

I have totally noticed that too, Lee.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I hadn't actually put my finger on why, but I had noticed Sheldon has been pissing me off more than usual of late. I think you've highlighted a big part of why.

Does this imply that Charlie Sheen was a good influence on Chuck Lorre?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'd say the problem is more Amy than Sheldon. In past seasons, she was a match for Sheldon -- comparable intellectually (and in social skills), and willing to stand up to him. This season, she seems to have lost 75 IQ points or so and become Sheldon's and Penny's sidekick. While Amy becoming a social being could be an interesting theme to the show, the scriptwriters are not taking her in good directions.
I think Sheldon is just reacting in his usual way to the change in Amy. He sees her deference to him as no more than what he deserves as a superior being and what he demands from everyone.
