Theseventh episodeof thesecond seasonofAnd Just Like That…poses several significant ethical questions.
And like the richest of philosophical texts, it answers none of them.
Should children model for Ralph Lauren?
Can teenagers put their hands in their boyfriends pants at 3:30 p.m. outside of a K12 school?
Can Che just go around touching random animals?
Can you take human growth hormone andalso be an honest bread-delivery man?Is Miranda a lesbian?
Jacket?????????
To be clear, I dont have an issue with this jacket in and of itself.
Actually, yes, I do.
But thats not the point.
The point is Aidan would never in one billion years buy this jacket or wear this jacket.
He wouldnt even have a paradigm for this jacket.
He would not know how to put it on.
He would not understand why it was belted like this (I barely understand).
He would not know how many belt loops to use should his waist be cinched or merely outlined?
What is he supposed to do with the four bizarrely sized pockets?
Fill them with rocks and walk into the river?
My questions about the jacket could fill those same pockets.
Is this technically a safari jacket, and if so, is the safari going to the Matrix?
Did it belong to a gay Confederate soldier?
Is it Criss Angel for Zara?
Is this how Patricia Field is taking her quiet revenge?
Im not unreasonable; I believe that people can change.
But I dont believe people can alter their essential nature.Theseare thetypesofjacketsAidan used to wear.
Remember, the last time we saw Aidan,he was wearing a messenger bag.
The time before that, we learned he had named his three children Wyatt, Homer, and Tate.
And again, a few times before that, he dumped Carrie for smoking.
In the early aughts!
A man who dumps someone for smoking would never wear a little waxed coat belted at the waist.
It just wouldnt happen.
I reject its very premise.
And I abhor that Michael Patrick King is gaslighting me and everyone I know by pretending that it would.
