[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As much as I like a lot about this show (the roast of Tom from this ep still has me cackling) I think the show is written by English white men who threw the word anmio in there just so we knew it was a pregnancy.  And that’s it.[/quote]

I think it's funny that you think that the fact that Jesse Armstrong is English and a man means he just randomly uses words like amniocentesis in his writing and he can't possibly know what it means and just thinks it's randomly a word associated with pregnancy. Like English people are notoriously ignorant about pregnancy or something? Armstrong does have kids and also, as a very successful writer, probably does actually research details in his scripts.

Not even saying the amnio is a huge plot point, just that I assume it was not randomly included for no reason. I assume the person who wrote that line knows what an amnio is and why you might have one and when you might have one, all of which is backed up by the actual dialogue in the scene (the doctor referencing potential issues that the amnio resolved, and also mentioning that the 20 week scan was coming up).

But I'm still cackling at the image of some posh Englishman sitting at his computer and asking his wife "darling, what is a random word that one might associate with a woman being with child? something musical, if possible, perhaps I can convert this to iambic pentameter!"[/quote]
