Okay, Private Practice, no. This is not okay. You have never made me angry until today. I don't usually post while something is airing, but I am just so pissed off about this I have to.
Agreed. I'm so annoyed Sam would defend him to that extent that it caused such an argument between them. That wasn't the moral dilemma for them to fight on. There could have been more interesting scenarios created to cause them tension. Maybe they were just setting up this next storyline with Charlotte (which, btw, OMG), but still. I cannot see Sam as the type to take that side and to be have such a strong "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude.
Oh, well then yes, I saw to the end and what happened to Charlotte (which I already knew was going to happen from spoilers). Doesn't change that the man also raped or that Sam was completely in the wrong. There are different kinds of rape, but rape is still rape.
I don't tend to get super angry with any episode (even this one) because they almost always have some of the doctors on one side of the issue, and some of them on the other. I agreed 100% with Addison, even with her whole bringing the issues from work home with her. I just think I'm better than she is about not saying things I can't take back. :)
Anyway, while we're talking about this episode ... I had no idea that ending was going to happen tonight! I knew the whole episode next week was going to be about what happened, but I wasn't expecting it now. I don't read EVERY spoiler for the shows I watch, but I'm so glad I knew what was coming, and that I could be prepared for it based on what I had read. YIKES.
I knew it was coming, and I expected it would be tonight because doing it as a cliffhanger is typical for tv shows. I'm a person who can't resist spoilers. Even when I miss episodes of things, I end up reading the recap even if I haven't seen it. It doesn't ruin the experience for me personally.
I really think they should have gone out of there way to warn people, though. There should have been a warning for rape before the episode started. I'm a Criminal Justice major, so rape doesn't bother me. It triggers some people, though, so it really wasn't cool that they didn't warn.
For me it's kind of a vicious cycle with spoilers... I like to know when things like this are coming, but because I know that they are, the tension is just that much worse. As soon as she had that random line, I was absolutely shocked because I knew what was coming, and my heart was pounding like crazy the whole time she was in her office. I don't know if this will make sense, but as soon as it happens, I'm 'okay'. It's the waiting that kills me
( ... )
Also, rape is a big deal to me. It is one of those things that is just clear-cut. And the fact that Sam and several others didn't see it that way just made me angry. I can see maybe being a little less clear about it since the guy did have some mental issues, but for Sam to outright insist that Addison was wrong just angered me.
