Basic physics doesn't work in some cases - in other cases it does. Fuzzy Line

The legal system doesn't work in some cases - in other cases it does. Fuzzy Line

Full  moons come every 15 days in some cases - every 18 days in other cases. Fuzzy Line

There are Fuzzy Lines all over this show - all over every show, really, but specifically in this show. Actually, the same could be said for all shows in which many things happen regularly (murders, feral children, escaped psychos) that would take a very long time to resolve in the real world.

So yeah - we live on the fuzzy line in televised fiction and that's how this show and all others should be judged.

I'm not blind to Malia. I just don't get the fuss. She's a character. Some things she gets - like wearing clothes and not biting people in public. Some things she doesn't get - like how it is polite to say she would place other's lives before her own and to lie when someone asks you what you really like to eat.

Anya was very similar. She understood the whole of human history because she lived through it. She didn't understand the reason for the niceties and ignored them all the time.

I don't find it uneven. I find it to be pretty basic comedy stuff.

And Mainstreaming kids totally get called to the board. They make their scratches on it and they get a "good job" from the teacher. They are included in every aspect of the class or else the student feels left out and "different."

If they used Malia's consternation at the situation for heightened dramatic or comic effect - that's kinda what they do with every situation on TV.
