  • Current Mood: why?

Things today that are making me ask 'why?'

  1. Why does our moon have no name other than The Moon? Of all the completely lame-ass names.

  2. Why are all big blockbusters usually sci-fi in nature, but sci-fi on TV can't find a big audience?

  3. Why after being filled in on last night's Veronica Mars can't I stop saying "WTF?" ETA: Spoilers in the comments.

The part about the roommate giving the pregnant woman the morning after pill because she wanted her to have a career. Seriously, what woman would do that??! O_O

No idea. She apparently had her "good interests" at heart.

But there was lots of V/W so I'm good with it. :D

It wasn't the morning after pill, it was the one that makes the girl have a miscarriage, RU-486. Someone posted a big bitch about it in [livejournal.com profile] veronica_fans, trying to start a letter campaign. And people where like "Did you even watch the episode? It wasn't the morning after pill."

*rolls eyes*

Heh heh.

What was the bitch about? Seems kinda like splitting hairs a bit. Okay, so a *contraceptive* pill was given to a pregnant woman. By another woman without her knowledge or consent. It makes me flail!

The bitch was that she didn't like the fact that they portrayed the morning after pill as the one that causes the miscarriage. Which isn't what they did. No one on the show called it the morning after pill, they all said RU-486.

Yeah, it made the girl given the pill flail too. It wasn't given a positive light.

This one was all about the woman's right to choose. I think that it makes a statement that women have the right to choose to *have* the baby as well as abort it. This girl took the other girl's right to choose out of her hands. I like that it played both sides of the issue. I think you'd have to see it to really get it.

Hmm. Perhaps. Although I'm still in a state of WTF that I'm not sure I want to.

You totally should. I think it was very well done.
