She was cool with fucking the brain slug when it was inside the man she describes as her brother, though.

Also please remember that this episode was penned on the 80s, 40 years ago, and to say that attitudes have changed a bit is a huge understatement

If anything, take it as a complement on how much has changed for the better since then that a then very progressive show now is outdated

    sort of? I'm more impressed by everything I saw up until that point. the clumsiness of the show is a credit to how people in the 80's ans 90's were trying to be forward thinking for the time against the popular culture.

    this meme I made is probably overstating my reaction. you've got to understand I'm making a joke about the sudden shift in stance in a single scene and not actually bemoaning the ethics of the writing. the ethics are mostly good.

    I think the outcome is probably closer to a real Human reaction than any progressive agenda would have you hope to believe. Not every story is a lesson on how to be better. Some stories are just about the characters.

    If my beautiful wife were suddenly turned into a dude, I'm not sure my marriage would last much longer. This isn't me being shitty. This is me being human.
