[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the older dialogue being too modern. AND the biggest anachronism for me was 1) Miguel & wife's talking about their kids. I just feel like that is more typical of modern parenting. My impression of my parents and friends' parents is that they were so much more relaxed. 2) leads me into this idea for me that it was a little unbelievable/exaggerated for Rebecca to not want kids. I mean, maybe her childhood was way more messed up than we know yet. But I just think for a lot of people back then it was more a given, and it wasn't so life altering because the expectation/parenting standard wasn't set so high, as we set for ourselves now.

I'm willing to let it go a little bc it's just her character and part of the story. And maybe I just have to think of her like Sally Draper grown up. The one thing I just can't let go is that she is already married. I don't imagine Sally married at 30 and fighting over having kids or not.

Anyone else catch on to what I'm trying to say?[/quote]

Yes I get it. Some of the storyline conflicts feel more contrived than other ones. This is one of the more contrived. Its also difficult to sustain audience interest in flash backs, so they are ramping up the conflict to lay the foundation for the modern story as we see it unfold. Its a little clumsy.[/quote]

Are you kidding? I'm more interested in the flashbacks than anything else.[/quote]
