Wild Carol Marcus speculations :)
Nov. 13th, 2007 10:18 amA big thank-you to everyone who participated in my Carol Marcus poll. Most interesting points are
- that most of you like her or grew to like her.
- that David happened most probably because Carol wanted to get pregnant (but didn't care for Jim), followed by "kinda happened" and then by "happened because Jim fucked up", so broad consensus is that Carol wouldn't get pregnant by chance - if she gets pregnant, there's likely a plan.
- that either both fucked up the relationship or that there was never a real relationship to begin with.
- that most of you would support some kind of father-son relationship; however, a minority thinks they may at least keep him out of the picture or inform the son later in life.
So I think the thing that's really outside of the current poll results is that Carol obviously decided never to tell David who his father is. But from the movie I deduced that he knew Kirk was one of his mother's ex-boyfriends (and didn't like him). Hmmm. Need to look at the novelization again.( more musings )
Someone please write me interesting Marcus fic before she takes over my creative mind, sigh :)

A poll about Carol Marcus.
Nov. 12th, 2007 02:59 pmThere's currently a discussion on a mailing list...and I've got to say I was astonished to see how sensible women started the bitch fest of the decade over the topic of Carol Marcus, bashing her like hell. Duh.
So, I'm curious to receive a general picture of opinion. Comments and Carol-criticizing are welcome, but Carol-bashing is not - my firm believe is that even the worst and unlikable character (or episode) a) does have its fans and b) can make a great story.
Also, the last question may be theoretical for many - just answer to the best of your abilities. Potential fathers, vote for an accordingly gender-inverted text :)
