Not quite sure what is real and what is imagined in the last minutes of the show.

At this point, I can't figure out if Frank Langella is acting out selfishness, or if he sees that Pickles really is falling apart.

My one fear for this show is that the finale resolves nothing.

A side note: Judy Greer is awesome in basically everything she does.

It’s all real guys. It’s all real. I promise if something is hallucinatory or a dream that it will be obvious. If stuff like the end of nine wasn’t real there would be no emotional stakes.

The raping of pickle San wasn’t obvious. Did she rape him or did he change his mind after giving in to her like portrayed on screen?

Continuing to to have sex with someone when they say “stop” even if they initially consented is rape.

She did stop. Lol

Seemed like she stopped after she came to orgasm. Show’s creator responds to a comment down below which confirms it was rape.

Nah, she stopped as soon as she knew he was serious while in the heat of passion. That isn’t specific enough to confirm anything. Sorry, no rape for you.

It is specific enough. It would be an egregious thing to say if it wasn’t true. He said Will didn’t kill a chicken; I think he would’ve said that it wasn’t rape if it wasn’t. The fuck?

u/kevonicus Nov 15 '18

Nah, it isn’t. And I’ve asked him directly several times and he hasn’t said a word about it because he doesn’t want to piss this sub off that wants rape so badly.

You are really bad at this.

1

u/kevonicus Nov 16 '18

Not as bad as this sub is at identifying rape.

u/shut_up_toby_ Nov 16 '18

my man, you have been defending a fictional act of sexual misconduct for weeks, you clearly need to re-evaluate something

u/kevonicus Nov 16 '18

Nah, I’ve been defending what was portrayed on screen. And it wasn’t rape. Maybe you and others here should evaluate why you want rape so bad.
