Now, Malia herself might not have been so bad, if my suspension of disbelief wasn't already cracked from what I, and others, consider a lack of consistency. Paul.rea disagrees, and he's entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that that's how it reads to multiple fans. The school thing also might not have been so bad if they actually addressed why she was there instead of being privately tutored, or showed she was in special ed classes. You mean like instead of blatantly showing us she was in math with all the other kids, and showing the teacher -- who we have to believe would be aware of her situation (what kind of school wouldn't tell the teachers "your new student was living on her own in the woods for eight years"?) -- made her go up to the board and do a problem in front of the entire rest of the class? And I'm pretty sure we're not going to get a scene later where Mr. Tate tries to get that teacher fired even though I'd say that's the appropriate response.
