She kept her traditional name and I think O'Brien spent more time eating sushi than drinking Guiness.<br /><br />Besides, tradition doesn't help when there aren't any boys from your ethnic group around.<br /><br />Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-74489307443384749322013-01-07T10:19:08.155-05:002013-01-07T10:19:08.155-05:00But Luke got a new hand many years later.

Remember what Ani's fake hand looked like and why are we discussing the awful new trilogy again?<br /><br />And just a side note, with her last child, my mom decided to have a natural childbirth despite having an epadural for all her other children. Then she started yelling for it when it was too late lol! (She said if she were ever giving birth again, she'd definitely use an epidural.)FrumGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698026647411592329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-2771596550745334962013-01-07T09:22:57.819-05:002013-01-07T09:22:57.819-05:00Tesyaa: Pretty much every sitcom has the same prem...Tesyaa: Pretty much every sitcom has the same premise. <br /><br />Woman says she wants natural childbirth. <br /><br />Then she actually goes into labor.<br /><br />"Where's the drugs!?!" <br /><br />MR: That's why all those mothers smirk when the tv misrepresents it. <br /><br />FG: Because blasters are on a higher level than guns, obviously! If Luke can get a new hand no problem . . . <br /><br />MGI: Oh, how I laughed. <br /><br />But Keiko wasn't that traditional; she married an Irishman rather than Japanese, right?

She's lucky she's alive.<br />Portman have birth while on the run from Palpatine's thugs, already half dead from a broken heart and a Sith throat choke. Again, epidural was probably not her priority.<br />And Keiko? She was a traditional woman. Her mother hollered during childbirth. Her grandmother hollered during childbirth. She's gonna holler through childbirth.<br />And Worf?

Heck, regular guns don't seem to exist. And moreover, perhaps there was some sort of religious reason for queen natali portman not to have an epadural?FrumGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698026647411592329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-76106426266856688832013-01-04T10:55:28.947-05:002013-01-04T10:55:28.947-05:00Well, birth may be safe in today's day and age...Well, birth may be safe in today's day and age, easy in some cases, but it is rarely (if ever) clean.tesyaanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-27256894560831308872013-01-04T10:47:45.584-05:002013-01-04T10:47:45.584-05:00Women on these shows also go into labor with a tre...Women on these shows also go into labor with a tremendous lack of warning- and all of a sudden, they're ready to push. I think that birth is so primal an image that no one thinks to present it as something safe, easy and clean. I think that people who make TV expect that it wouldn't communicate without the screaming. But it is kind of absurd, and I had never even noticed it, on my own.
