Was he supposed to go home and spank her? Talk to her first, it&#8217;s her money. Don&#8217;t go talking to her husband about her financial affairs behind her back. What is she, <i>chattel<\/i>? She could buy and sell all your asses and not blink an eyelash. Show some respect. Jerks.<\/p>\n<p><b>My &#8216;elseworlds&#8217; proposal for episode five:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sandy and Kirsten&#8217;s marriage is under pressure from the strain of Sandy&#8217;s jealousy; and Julie is considering a divorce from Jimmy. Since S&#038;K are on a roll with taking in needy strays, and the moral of the story arc so far seems to be &#8220;no man is an island&#8221;, I propose another adoption of sorts. <\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Julie and Jimmy should separate, and Kirsten should take Jimmy as a second husband. Polyandry is the obvious solution! Sandy could assert his position as Alpha Male, Jimmy could finally abandon the harsh and bothersome yoke of work and be kept by a woman like he&#8217;s always wanted, and Kirsten could have two husbands to run errands and satisfy her various other needs. <\/p>\n<p>They could move the show to Salt Lake City, change its name to &#8216;The S.L.C.&#8217;, and start a redemptive video game commune! Are you with me? <\/p>\n<p>Think of the ratings spike when the threesome sex starts up! It&#8217;s ideal, except that Sandy would be miserable in Utah &#8211; no more surfing.<\/p>\n<p>After re-reading the comments I just wrote about &#8216;The O.C.&#8217;, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that I am a sick, sick woman. Perhaps its best that my &#8216;Butterfly Effect&#8217; review is stuck in the paper jam of my cerebellum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My &#8216;beef&#8217; with episode four: WARNING!
