A Short Rant on Morals in Ep 21

[damigella]

I'll have of course a long commentary once I finish ep 22, but I can only watch it in small installments if I want to preserve the integrity of my laptop screen. 
So I'll start with a few warm-up sentences on ep 21, which I finally managed to watch two days ago.

Fox morality 1: building bombs for a living is healthy and fun - just like fireworks! On the other hand, slutty women (having sex with three, count them three, male coworkers) risk their lives. I suspect the implied solution is: had she married and stayed at home as God intended she wouldn't have gotten these problems. I didn't know what I did in college was so dangerous.

Fox morality 2: your mom always has your interests at heart. Even if she sues your hospital for 30 grand, threatens your and your best doctor's medical license, and finally has the entire hospital evacuated. Because you're such a pathetic loser that you should stick to any man who may possibly be willing to have you, even if he's a pathetic loser himself. 

I screamed when I saw Cuddy hugging her, instead of killing her as she amply deserved. I was all in favor of restoring the previous hip replacement and let her die in pain.

Sex on [H]ouse is inherently dangerous - causing all sorts of medical problems, up to and including death...

I put the mother thing down to the fact that everyone on this show is very strange. If House had drugged my mother at the dinner table I would have kicked him out, if not killed him, but on House it's just all good fun...I wonder if she got to keep the $30,000....

Hehe... ;)

Also: I agree with both of your statements.

Go watch the end of ep 22!! ♥

Can't really say much that hasn't already been said in the comments, other than that I really, really agree with your "Fox morality 2" point. But menolly_au makes a good point in saying that the characters on this show are indeed very strange.

God, I agree with both of your points sooo much!

Many people now have sex with no repercussions because it makes them happy. DEAL WITH IT weird writers.

And the family thing really bugs me. Why can they just now show someone estranged from their family. Because sometimes there us no solution, a freaking hug will not fix things, and NOT seeing each other is for the best.

Fox morality 3: Being homosexual or bisexual is icky and strange and something to make jokes about and stereotype. It's only okay if you're Thirteen and you have hot, sweaty lesbian sex.

Yeah, there are always brutal consequences for sex, especially for women (although covert male homosexual affairs are also guaranteed to be punished). It used to really piss me off when Buffy pulled this shit too.
