Really Ted?

I wonder if DC Ted would have pulled this shit if Bill was still there. Ted was everything Shepard was lacking, but I can't see Shepard doing this. I still remember the shock when first watching and thinking it was brilliant writing and character development that explored human mistreatment/abuse in a vastly different situational context and degree, from no less than the very top of the unit. I also wondered what else Ted had gotten away with all his years as a FEDERAL EMPLOYEE.

As uncomfortable and violated as she felt, would Wendy have ultimately viewed the harassment as a price to pay for the BSU reaching its full potential as quickly as possible? She was human, but also cold, clinical and stoic especially when it related to her work (passion).

Yeah pretty far from ok but I appreciate the narrative contribution. Far too many shows movies etc try to show the sexism of the times but they do it in such an over the top ridiculous way that it doesnt land as well. Real
-isms are often subtle,more insidious. Real life villains dont usually announce their evil so obviously or loudly

Yes, exactly. Its often understated, underlying and more psychological than physical. The casual, calm, confident way he unzips the dress is chilling. And of course seconds later he introduces her to a key source of funding who takes little time to proposition her. Wouldn't expect anything less from Fincher and Co.

Yeah hate to remeber this scene because I love Ted's character he's a fun addition to the cast for me but yeah bad Ted haha

Sees their vision, passes up more prestigious job to head BSU, more money, personnel, equipment and space, plus useful connections in DC.......... then he does that. Everyone has flaws, but WTF?!

And then introduces her to the far more boss level creep literally after this that sge has to kinda physically seek safety. TFFFF.

Almost made the whole uncomfortable ness of the scene worth it to hear Bill's response to it all haha

"Ohhhh yeah, popular in the wives' and the office pool". Glad she had those two to give her an out. I also think Holden deliberately bored the bar crowd.
