Quote from: Steelgrave on July 12, 2017, 03:19:47 PMTo label viewers as not being "emotionally mature" because they don't share his ideas of what is moral, mannered, marriaged or monied makes me want to slap a "get off my lawn" sticker across his forehead and shove him back into his rocking chair.

the author is in his mid-30s

Age is not all biological......in his case, it sounds like the 1830's

I still don't think he's wrong that the general population lacks a certain level of emotional maturity, regardless of how you choose to register its manifestation

No doubt ancient Greek philosophers were saying the same thing about Greek society. Tying it into one of the most watched series is a cheap vehicle he's using to make his point, which he doesn't do a very convincing job of anyway. If this article was about a show no one watched then it wouldn't have gotten any reads in the first place.

Just started Season 3. I'd been playing it in the background while working, and admittedly I've thankfully been sick these past few days, so I've been able to put even more catch-up time in for it.  O0

You'd be wrong, but you should be used to that by now.
