Roseanne and Dans reaction..


to Becky's marriage... Would you have reacted like Dan, be angry and want to put Marks head through a wall, or would you have been like Roseanne saying we have to accept it since she is practically 18

reply

Good question.

Honestly, Roseanne's. Cuz a) As Mark said himself: it's not like Becky was forced. It was her choice too. b) a rash reaction will only relieve your anger for a short while. It's not gonna stop Mark and Becky from wanting to be together.

reply

Probably a bit of both. If I were like Dan and Roseanne then I already didn't like Mark, and I'd be really upset that Becky gave up school to marry some douchebag, but like Roseanne I'd probably reason that sure we could force them to get an annulment but then Becky will just resent us and probably run off when she's 18 and we'll never see her again. And then hope that Mark either turns out to be a really standup husband, or Becky realizes what a mistake she's made and dumps him early enough that there's not as much fallout (e.g. before they have kids).

I got the feeling that Becky and Mark kind of mirrored Dan and Roseanne.

Bev admitted that she didn't want Rosey to marry Dan. And Roseanne admitted that she saw Dan behind her parents' back.

What goes around comes around.

Dan made something of himself and at least tried to better himself! No matter how much you want to like Mark, he was a loser and that never changed! He never even tried; total waste of tuition money! He's a grunt which is fine, but Roseanne was hoping to break the cycle like any good mom; even someone like Roseanne! Becky couldn't have made worse choices and she paid for it! Darlene did her best and was only being held back by her family! 

Sorry but what did Dan do that was any better than Mark? He never went to school, he worked the same type of jobs, he failed in the careers he did have quite often. He WAS Mark in 15 years, and Mark was him 15 years ago. Only at least Mark was smart enough to not get Becky pregnant accidentally.

In those "blue collar" days of the past you could get away with that, but today you really need an education! Dan was never as "dim" as Mark who not only hurt himself, he dragged Becky down with him! She gave up school and wound up living in a trailer park! The only thing it seems Mark has been good at is being faithful to Becky and his own stupidity! 

if I was Mark I would have called up Dan and Fatty Roseanne laid the phone next to the bed as I banged the living *beep* out of sweet first Becky. They would have hear every moan, every orgasm, every time she begged for more. They would have heard her first anal experience as she cried out not to stop. They would have heard it all, her pleasuring Mark as nhe asked for more and then he banged her hard until she could take no more but he kept giving. I would have loved to seen their reaction to that phone call. It would have been great.

reply

I would have been furious at BOTH Becky & Darlene.
Becky gives up her college dreams for that doofus. Darlene, the supposed smart one, couldn't even handle using birth control and ruins things before she even started.




I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I would be shocked. Two bright girls getting married so young. I guess I couldn't stop them, but I wouldn't be happy.
