S01.E10: Chutes and Murders

[Tachi Rocinante]

One nitpick - Eastern Othodox Easter falls on the same Sunday as other Christian Easters every three or four years, and most Orthodox churches in America don't follow the "old calendar".

Morgan calling the other Mom was horribly pathetic and she should have known better.

I remember Ken Marino from The State.  Yeah, I'm old.

There are Ukrainian churches in my area that I know celebrate the eastern orthodox Christmas.  I have no idea if they also do special Christmas services on Dec 25, trying to make everyone happy.  My greater metro area has several orthodox pockets - Russians, Ukrainians, Latvians, etc.  I just always assumed they all celebrated the orthodox calendar Christmas.  It may depend on the area, how many recent immigrants vs. 1st generation vs. 2nd generation Americans are in the congregation.

I don't know, I've been reluctant to post on this but if my mother had done what Morgan did regarding that kid for me she would have been my hero. As a kid that was ostracized and bullied at times I was too humiliated and embarrassed to let my mother know about it. But in those instances where she found out she did do stuff like call the bullies' parents and give them the what for about their kid. I think for me it was more important to know that my parents were on my side and would stick their necks out to defend me than for them to worry about how them doing that would affect me later. It didn't do me any harm when my mother did stuff like this and those particular bullies knew never to mess with me again. It was something I needed and I'm glad she did it. It taught me to stand up for myself because she stood up for me and the bullies stopped and cowered when they saw me in the future. In those situations that my parents didn't know about, it would have been better if they did and intervened even if it was hard for me to take at the time.
