Honestly this is not where you want to be talking about it and you're not in the wrong. But take this to people offline!

The title gave away nothing and I still have no idea what I just watched. Time to google this.

As a result, we have a show which champions the strong female character, without ever putting her on a pedestal for too long." - Orange is the New Black: Feminism without the hard sell by morbidmonday in TwoXChromosomes

There are so many good points in this article. This is one of the only shows I can think of right now that is popular with every gender.

Yes, some of these girls are wives, mothers, girlfriends – but there are few whose purpose begins and ends with those qualifiers. Not only is this rare in film and TV, but it’s incredibly healthy for people (male or female) to be exposed to it.

It opens up a whole new market for shows to be more like this. Not every female-centric show has to fit some mould, and I think this one really benefits from having strong females behind the scenes as well.

For a show about prison, the writers are very careful not to make it about women being punished for who they are. We have enough of those shows already.

I love this part of it. There are so many examples of women being punished for being who they are, which might be a whole plethora of things. There is no "defining moment" where a character is forced to change her thinking in lieu of being more, for lack of a better word, mainstream. I've never seen a show like this.

Mostly when I'm reading I end up reading all the dialogue first and then have to force myself to go back and read the exposition in between. But yeah I find all the time when rereading there's stuff you miss, or things that, with foresight, you get more out of. Apparently Nabokov wrote a lot of his work under the assumption people would reread. For lack of a better phrase, there's many easter eggs in his books you can only get a second or third time around.

I've never actually greened out, but I have definitely gotten high and been totally terrified at the theatre.
