So, for the first time I'm going to talk about Chuck. It's going to be a rant. I feel this is essentially unfair, because I've loved the show and the characters up until this very episode, but it can't be helped.


So, Sarah wants to be with Chuck because she wants a normal life, with marriage and kids.

*facepalm*

She's the ULTIMATE GALLAGHER GIRL. I was writing crossovers in my head!

Why does nobody ever write a guy who wants to quit the dangerous stuff for marriage and kids?

I was going to make a Sarah icon, I really was, but atm frankly I can't. I can forgive one episode. If this trend continues I can't like her anymore, though.

If it's any consolation, Casey is Jayne from Firefly (And yes I know the actor has a real bname, but I prefer seeing one character as actually being the other, non of this 'real life' stuff) and we all know how much of a home body he is.

Also, the guys I've heard of leaving the dangerous life for something normal were on their way to being big in the yakuza.

The ones you don't hear about all turn into Mr. Incredible. A friend of mine's dad was an army advanced scout and sniper. His family discovered a cigar box FULL OF MEDALS under his bed after he died of liver failure from advanced alcoholism. They hadn't known.

But does this not happen to women? Does it have to be implied that they want to settle down into normalcy and they will be happy because this is their allotted role in life?

*sigh*

Possibly I am hypersensitive. But SRSLY.

They feel the biological call, and finally succumb to the pressures of body and society, and then they become closet ritalin addicts and try to desperately cover how cheated they feel when parenthood and normalcy are not their cup of tea.

We need more stories of matriarchs coming back into dangerous careers. We need SPN Ellen's story of how she married a hunter and had Jo, and had to give up on her dreams until Jo had flown the nest. And then went and saved the world from the mess her husband and his ilk had left it in. A woman's story that has humor and actual good sense in it, 'cause the boys don't seem to manage much of that.

YES. EXACTLY.

I think I kind of love you, that you get that.
