AND WASN'T PUNISHED FOR IT IN THE TEXT. Great point! I hadn't even considered that... that's a really good example of the gender WIN in this show.
Who knew?! Hee! The producers, clearly. I took a while to warm to him, but man he really brought it as an actor, didn't he?
the writers didn't just conveniently forget that Riley had lived to the ripe old age of seventeen alone in tunnels. So true. You know what I found a sign of how good the gender politics were on the show? When Sarah kidnapped a female doctor, not for one second did I expect that that doctor would be whimpery or pathetic--I knew that she would have her own form of strength somewhere. And she did, even though she was a 'victim' herself. Victims aren't weaker than anyone else on this show.
