  • Yeah, I agree. I've said something similar in the past - I think women are raised to be adults by 18, whereas boys are raised to be overgrown tweens by 18, and their parents call it "good enough", leaving the rest of the job to future girlfriends and wives.

    It does everybody a disservice, and it perpetuates this idea that girls mature faster than boys. We don't. We're just forced to grow all the way up and boys aren't.

    • David Yost (Billy on MMPR)
    • Toni Braxton (that Unbreak My Heart video? Come on!)
    • Tyson Beckford (speaking of that video!)
    • John Henson (Talk Soup)
    • Tiffani-Amber Thiessen
    • Siddig El Fadil
    • And of course Terry Farrell
  • The source material isn't great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I'd never want to read them again.

    I've watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they're doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.
