[QUOTE="Felon, post: 3678994, member: 8158"] Well, in the devil's advocate department....Mindset doesn't have Asperger's. He's just not a quiche-eater. :cool: I'm a sucker for a crying girl as much as the next guy, but we really only got a little sound bite of what he said to Miss Limelight, followed by her weeping. I'm not convinced she didn't overreact to him simply trying to be frank with her about her ditzy act. I hate to steal an assessment that Adam Karola used to make on "Love Line", but any adult woman who's still doing the "little girl voice" is putting on an act to some degree. As to his refusal to misspell words, he cleared that up in the Aftershow. Like Braid in the previous episode, he was trying to figure out what the "catch" was. And he points out that as it turns out there simply wasn't one, it was just a spelling bee where they got honey dumped on them. That observation, along with his follow-up remark that it was a little too "Nickelodeon", earned him some of my empathy. I can see where caving in to the villain and playing her insidious game of misspelling could have been seen as unheroic by Stan. In general, he was pretty articulate and good-natured, if also kind of headstrong. This show places an extremely high standard on sensitivity awareness--you might recall that in the first series, Feedback got put on the block by Stan for making a minor joke with one of his cohorts--that would get just about any of Stan's own heroes booted. The fact that you can't have a wisecracking Spider-Man, a confrontational Hawkeye, or a headstrong Thor type of character on this show kind of diminishes its entertainment value. [/QUOTE]
