Suddenly this episode its an actual physical time travel that occurs, which i chose to ignore. I think the writers didnt fully know the concept properly themselves!berthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505976767595704734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-47931734343687591632017-07-11T20:46:28.496-05:002017-07-11T20:46:28.496-05:00How was Sam pregnant?

The gimmick of having Sam pregnant and going through morning sickness, munchies, and hot flashes--and Al repeatedly insisting it wasn't really happening--got old fairly quickly for me but the social dynamic of a teen girl pregnant in a small conservative town in the 50s was compelling. The shame she suffered by the townsfolk, and especially her own family, made Billie Jean very sympathetic and it was a more interesting thought experiment to have a man (Sam) experience that than the jokey physical side effects of pregnancy. Like you, my favorite scene was Willis and Billie Jean talking on the dirt road about their futures. You described the conversation as raw, which I thought was accurate. I was disappointed there wasn't a follow-up in some way with him though and the fact that there wasn't left the ending unsatisfying on top of wildly uncomfortable to watch. I'll rank this one in between "So Help Me God" and "One Strobe Over the Line".Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-66992802504511013942016-08-03T00:55:42.251-05:002016-08-03T00:55:42.251-05:00I really like this episode.

I like Al being indignant about Sam having labor pains and experiencing the pregnancy parts.<br /><br />I don't love the purple hair lady screeching at Sam about the hair - that's a little uncalled for.<br /><br />Highlander_IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390532917085374247noreply@blogger.com
