Is This What Adulthood Looks Like...?

The feminist internet celebrated. The bro internet was furious. The theater gained attention.

BUT A WOMEN-ONLY SCREENING OF A FUCKING MOVIE MAY BE ILLEGAL?????? 

NOOOOOOOOO.  no.  nope.  no way.  not again.

the reason why they killed michael in the original series is because they wanted that “full circle” storyline.  thinking, michael can’t break lincoln out and in the process cause all these horrible things to happen, people to die, and be able to have a happy ending.  he only gets what he originally wanted, which was to save lincoln, and michael has to ultimately die to keep his family safe.

i would be DEVASTATED if they brought back this show for a season only to have michael’s original intention of the entire show be thrown in the gutter like the cranes in the drain so that they could call it “full circle.”

nope.  no way, i refuse to believe that it will be lincoln that dies.  that is just…no.

i would hope that they have better sense than that, because that would mean that in the span of this series, they will have killed off all three of their leads at one point, and i just can’t imagine that they are THAT stupid.  

but honestly, truly, i don’t think that’ll happen.  i honestly believe (and maybe this is blind optimism) that the this will end happily.  michael and lincoln sitting together, staring out at their family.  sara and mike, perhaps sheba is there too, maybe sucre and c-note (and i wish lj).  and they can finally, FINALLY breathe happy that it’s over.  that they can just be normal, revel in their domestic bliss.

because they did it.  they’re free.

it’s gonna happen.  just have a little faith.

One thing I'd love to see in a renewal is Mahone. Seems kind of funny to me that Poseidon is CIA and they said he wasn't back because Mahone's story didn't fit this season... but he's ex-FBI! This is like right up his alley.

Me, A Fan: 

It's a CHOICE. You CHOSE a career that doesn't use math. *Or, financial hardship made it unreasonable to pursue. That's the only good excuse on this one.

And furthermore - I very much dislike these type of posts. Posts like this highlight how much we've failed in public education to encourage STEM, not stigmatize it into something that's sooo hard, so unobtainable.

Parents are just as much to blame. Children whose parents go on and on about helping out with math homework and talking about how much they hated it is part of the problem. Kids look up to you. They hear those things. And it's highly influential to how their attitude towards it goes.

I use math everyday in my job and I LOVE IT. It opened so many doors for me.
