I liked it! Ugh at the sperm donor showing up, though. Marshall is that baby's father, whether Mary keeps it or not. And I'm leaning towards "hope she adopts".
I think that she should keep the baby it would be good character progression. They have managed the whole pregnancy arc without it changing who mary is at her core. She's still been cranky and bad ass. I don't see why everyone thinks that it would be so out of character for her to keep the baby. Shes always taking care of witnesses why not her own kid.
I have to confess...I bought into the stereotype that every woman is magically changed into a mother just cause they're pregnant. So I was surprised by the fact that she's been negotiating the price for the baby the entire time she was in WITSEC. Ha! Good one.
I'm actually glad Mary is putting the baby up for adoption. We don't see how real legit planned out adoption works on television enough. Plus I think it's a great way for the show to return to it's paradigm after the actress gives birth. (though I worry they're seeing up to change that plan and I would be really disappointed by that.)
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
great episode

ReplyDeleteI have to admit I had a bit of a moment when Marshall told her he'd be there for her no matter what. And then the damn phone rang lol.
ReplyDeleteI will actually be pretty distraught if she decides to keep the baby, I think it's out of character.

ReplyDeleteThis baby storyline has been really great all season up until this episode. I don't think I like the direction this plot is taking. I hope I'm wrong.
