You're welcome. It's called 'critical thinking;' for a reason!

Too true. But I was saying more (and perhaps too obliquely) that even that which is explicitly shown is not understood by some people - which is painfully obvious from some of the posts that I read on MDL. As I said earlier, and not just to you, I was surprised to encounter not one, but two MDL members who had more insight about the characters whom they were watching than the average viewer.

Again, you are welcome.

You are most welcome. Some times, it seems that too many people have a very superficial understanding of the complexities of what they are watching.

Did you see the preview of ep. 14 (at the end of ep. 13) I doubt that he will finally realise that "People are people" but I think that he will at least help the Crown prince to save the FL.

@ Hanikas: Hmm. Not so sure about that - more like differences in biological mandate.

You are looking at him as if he were a two-dimensional cut-out. He is multi-faceted and very complex; certainly not your usual bad guy - unlike his father.

At least you are honest! I find him fascinating - he makes an interesting social study. I want to crawl inside his head and have a look.

Another mature and insightful post - on the same page, too. Unlike some of the really vicious, toxic, posts that I have read elsewhere this week!

It is also refreshing to read such mature and insightful comments, for once.

Does somebody - a complex somebody - have to be a jerk, just to have a redemption arc? I don't think that THAT was necessarily what @batatatamusic meant or even implied. I like some, not all, anti-hero types - but dislike all jerks in general. But I suppose it depends on what you think a jerk is. P.S. The sort of antihero personality that she was describing did not come off as being a jerk at all, but that is just my own opinion.

Just which part was the side note? Ha ha. I do agree with you, though, about all of it.

I am quite sure that there others who agree with you. I do to a certain extent - or more correctly, I can see why you thought that - even if I myself have no problem with the actors. The " Yeah, it seems like you’re the only one who thinks that way" was a stock, throw-away, quasi-insult which signalled his or her annoyance just as much as the "completely lost it." Ignore it. You are entitled to your opinion.

I thought that that he might sacrifice himself, too. As you say - predictable.

'...or not very bright' is right.

You are right - no normal person would do it. So, if you are accepting that she could be mentally disabled or just has mental health issues (this is more likely) it makes your comment even worse. One can only hope that you are still young (as she seems to be) and will yet mature and become more tolerant of mentally disabled people in general. This does NOT mean that you cannot comment on her own very shallow, intolerant remarks about the actress.

Just how old are you? Just because you do not find her looks to be aesthetically pleasing, does not mean that she is ugly. Personally, I don't think that a shallow person such as yourself can be qualified to say that she can or can't act.

Retard? Where were you brought up to think that THAT word is acceptable usage?

I wonder why we did not get to see the death of his foster father or a reference to it, anyway, when it was discovered that he had taken his place. (I just finished part two today.)

I would love to be able to watch this but, because of the outrageous and childish behaviour of the FL, I dropped it like a hot cake. Does she ever improve? And at what episode? Thanks.
