It's not even so much about the looks, although it is true that physicists don't put an emphasis on looking pretty, it's more about the personality that doesn't match a physicist personality at all.
I don't have an issue with the female representation amongst top physicists, but I have an issue with the fact that those particular women don't have the personality of a physicists. More like journalist type of personality and looks.
It is taking away from the believability of the story. The psychology of the characters or even their looks don't match with their occupation.
Yes, it is humor by accumulation and culmination! I loved it so much!
haha, am i really the only one who laughed out loud from the fussy Japanese attitude escalating into keeping that rotten pheasant and killing the gardener over a simple formula. Japan and its codified rules. The absurdity was brought so stealthily that when everything escalates it just becomes so much you can only laugh.
I never said it was an issue. Actually it was mentioned that everyone knows her dad was a coward, and they got the sword for almost nothing from a merchant. And you can see how Toranaga himself is laughing as he realizes the preposterousness of it all. Of course he understands the intention, but it is very funny because of what preceded about the feasant, and how he could not be bothered arguing about it, since it was so confusing. Him accepting the sword with a wry smile meant that he is starting to understand that conventions are not as important at the intention and the heart.
The fact that the chaining of cultural misunderstandings with catastrophic consequences was hilarious doesn't take away from the underlying meaning of respect being built between the two!
The humor in that episode was so macabre, I have never laughed so much in my entire life. The series of preposterous events that happen as a result of cultural differences all stringed together and escalating into John giving his worthless swords to Toranaga after saving his life to cap it all off -it was a masterpiece of comical savagery!
It was intended to be comical. I have never laughed so much in my life. Entire episode 5 was so comical, like when he gifts the worthless swords to Toranaga just after saving his life and he is compelled to accept. The succession of completely random and preposterous events stringed together was a masterpiece of comedy.
I am glad you also enjoyed it!
It is a show designed to make your empathize with a sociopath because you can see their inner struggle and desire to do good. Dissociative personality disorder is a survival mechanism. Sociopaths are victims of their parents when they refused to give them the love, and blackmail them emotionally, they end up developing a love hate relationship with their parent and every further relationship in their life.
Nadia is the worst poison in the show, it is always people that doubt his goodness that make him go back to his old patterns. Whenever everything is almost perfect, one or more women screw things up.
Unfortunately socipaths never recover from their dissociation. The hurt child is always the weaker personality, they don't stand a fighting chance. And it is sad for them. They are trapped inside without the ability to control their life. They try to convince the mastermind that they can achieve their goal the right way, but at the first hurdle they lose their power to do good and have to agree with the mastermind to let them take control since their method is better and the world around them
Is out to hinder, mock or betray them.
I have proven to you that they carefully avoiding the lie. Regarding the scientists, the quasi totality disagree with the pharma lobbies. Big shock!
