He's an emotional guy but he rarely gets angry or mad. It feels like everyone calls Chuck out for his mistakes yet Chuck is incapable of doing the same. That's not to say Chuck is a total saint by any means. But there's been certain times he should have said how moronic people were acting.<br /><br />So I think its easier for JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79953729582147632.post-73924147994991087612010-08-22T14:19:19.759-05:002010-08-22T14:19:19.759-05:00Not to put words in Frea's mouth, but she'...Not to put words in Frea's mouth, but she's just pointing at one of the many manifestations of what I think is the root issue: People write to express themselves, and all of us who write inevitably reveal a whole lot about who we are.

Like you, I'm a little worried that she's considered a good example of characterization for Sarah, but hey, I'm okay with it too. There are a lot of things wrong with Sarah in DA, but standing up for herself and having an opinion are not one of them. mxpwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169374944969495531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79953729582147632.post-12444688807363612402010-08-22T14:05:52.810-05:002010-08-22T14:05:52.810-05:00If you all want to be really sad, head on over to ...If you all want to be really sad, head on over to the 'Chuck' kinkmeme and see how many of the prompts and responses involve Sarah being dominated, humiliated, and treated like a "whore" - or at least what those people think a prostitute should be treated like. <br /><br />Or you can read Wepdiggy's kinkmeme responses, which are awesome. :)Ayefahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79953729582147632.post-72367515078009733722010-08-22T13:48:47.521-05:002010-08-22T13:48:47.521-05:00For a minute, I thought you were going to talk abo...For a minute, I thought you were going to talk about The OC, and I got really excited because I miss that show.

I actually haven't found any OCs that have ever really been a great thing in a story. Usually they take me out of the story whenever they appear. So, without fully fleshing out someone, it is a deal breaker for me. <br /><br />As for the OC bitching out Sarah Walker.D-Rekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385460630008845365noreply@blogger.com
