He's pretty mature about stuff like that when he can sense that's it Serious Business, I think. And honestly I was glad he got to see an example of what it used to look like to "cure" someone of homosexuality.
The Anne Frank/Nazi stuff is freaking me out, too, and Sister Jude's reaction is one of the things that really humanizes her. Seeing her go to another nun for counsel really brings home that she actually thinks what she's doing is right, and that some atrocities are going to cross a line, even for her.
The end was shocking, too -- I guess I imagined Chloe Sevigny having a bigger role, and I'm not sure where they're taking her now. Arden has clearly done more than the amputations to her.

I was tiptoeing around it; I really didn't know the name of the episode, and was unspoiled and was "What? Franke Potente? WHATTT! IS ANNE FRANK?!"
I...am torn between wanting her to be the real Anne Frank and just being interested in the storyline even if she is schizophrenic. Because it awful but good storytelling. Because all this stuff is real. If you took away every single supernatural/alien aspect in the show, evil is real, yo.
And Jude is an awful person, who has done awful things, but who also is drawn to doing good and it is so ambiguous and struggle-y, that you can't help but seeing her a a human, but deeply unlikeable. But parts of her struggle make you identify with her. It's a real look at a human spectrum of behavior, and it's awful and true, and hopeful and true.
It give me the thinky-thinks.
And Owen! It's my first episode of Season 3. Sadly, I won't get to see it because I'm in Toronto for the filming of 310.
just getting around to watching. yay Owen!! i love him. great ep!
Just bit the bullet and started watching. It took me 7 years to start Supernatural, and now I'm head over heels. I've caught up on that, so I thought I'd try Nikita before S7. I'm kind of liking not having cable anymore, and discovering old(er) shows instead.
Just watched the Firefly reunion special, and now I has a sad.
I do too, but I'm happy we never got to see
Inara raped nearly to death by Reavers.
Because that? Is revolting.
I don't think that's as revolting as the vagina of death angle. I mean, attacks and rape are absolutely awful, and not my idea of entertainment. However (and clearly horribly) they are real things.
But somehow elevating the vagina dentata to a cleansing power of fury that kills all the bad guys? That's so OFF. I'm kinda glad Allyson kept that detail mum. Now, way after the show, it doesn't tarnish how I see it much, if at all. it's just a random theory (as opposed to the ambulatory sperm of Wonderfalls S2, for instance--heard that way too close to the cancellation) albeit from the writers.
I can kill you with my vagina has a whole different vibe going on than, you know, pinky or mind.

Yeah, I meant that, too. The whole thing. Just, ew.
OTOH the dogs episode sounds like it could have been great.
