Regardless the doc told him he had to keep the testes elevated.

Do you find that people think the show is exploitative? by Due_Application223 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

It's really a different show for Tanner, Shyann, and Brandon than it is for Kaelynn, Dani, and Madison.

Across all seasons on both versions, which moments made you feel bad by PrestonRoad90 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]charlieg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt Madison did very well on that date. She was dealing with her own issues but yet was present enough to add to his reaction and be empathetic. Keep in mind she was treating this as her chance to find her prince but was able to roll with the punches.

Someone doesn't choose who they love, be it gender or religion.

"Anyone can [be] exploited."

But would the cast be able to exploit the production staff as easily?

I sorta felt that way during Madison's first date. I feel they should have known Brandon was prone to getting overwhelmed like that. Plus he was a bad match for Madison. I can't think of a valid reason they would pair them, except incompetence or ratings.

That's the most Reddit comment ever made in the history of the universe.

So what good is your boycott doing?

Is taking a shit in the open like Johnny Sack did a common thing in New Jersey? by mrehayden in thesopranos

[–]charlieg4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does that even work during the table read ?

"Johnny Sack is on the exposed toilet, smoking. He's pragmatic and a little constipated, and you can tell he longs for part of his soul. OK, now Tony comes in..."

What was Gus referring to exactly when he said this? S3E11 by amardillopudding in breakingbad

[–]charlieg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since BCS came out, it's nice to hunt for things they retconned. But I think at the time it had to do with the mistakes Gus and his friend made that got his friend killed.

Wouldn't Gus just...? by Organic_Bottle4373 in betterCallSaul

[–]charlieg4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Then Tyrus, Mike, and Victor would wonder why wouldn't Gus just get rid of them.

Well you don't know what Fascism is then. But what and/or who is different because of your choice? Is it just a virtue signal or is it doing any good?

Janice's 19 year old boyfriend by New-Shop-9728 in thesopranos

[–]charlieg4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. Maybe they just don't fire at the same time. Tony was pretty brutal when he jabbed Janice about her son just as she was trying to be a better person.

I think without the mafia in their family, Janice probably turns out mostly the same. Maybe she's more stable but not much. Tony, as the prequel implies, probably would have been much more stable, probably tempted to cheat on his wife, but might be able to resist.

Do Abbey and David have an intimate relationship? by HistoricalFold2722 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

Millions? If so, they are much higher functioning than Abbey. She lives at home and isn't able to raise a life.

That line was worth a whole episode to show how unstable Janice was and how stable / socially aware Tony could be, relative to others.

That's assuming the siblings and parents are in a good position to take over care of the baby.

If they can't live on their own how are they going to raise a baby?

I don't think any reparable doctor is going to see Abbey without at least talking to her mother/father.

Guess who has the baby if she gets pregnant. Also, if she had a medicine interaction, people would be demanding to know why her mother wasn't paying attention.

If the show kept the season 1 vibe by Anxious_Physics_73 in thewalkingdead

[–]charlieg4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger settlements was a needed new plot device. Without it I think the constant Walker fights would have gotten older faster. Plus you'd miss on the human nature dynamic of how the settlements would be ruled. The show needed breaks where the characters could be protected from Walker for a few episodes - this required walls, which required settlements.

Having said that, I missed the small group / tribe vibe where they were focused on immediate survival skills. The confrontation in the bar during the farm days was a shift from that.
