    Why not see if Joe has shoes he can borrow? He probably would have some so he looks nice for the ladies.

        That’s Walkyverse!Joe, and only because Willis had to write him as a slob rather than a sex fiend for newspapers when doing Redux. I wouldn’t doubt DOA!Joe’s only got a couple pairs. (Plus, who launders shoes?)

        Also, Joe’s fairly massive compared to Walky. His shoes’ll probably be too big.

                  If the theory claims that if A is This then B must be That, then any evidence that contradicts the theory threatens the validity of said theory.

                  In my case, the theory that bigger the foot size, bigger the penis size doesn’t gel out…unfortunately.

                  My understanding is that they actually did a study, and found that large feet do tend to correspond to larger… other bits–slightly. Thing is, guys with larger feet generally are larger overall, and so all their bits are proportionately larger, when you sample a large group.

                  Within that group, though, there’s as much variation as there is within any other random group, so it only shows up as a slight statistical blip.

                  So there’s kiiiind of some truth to it? But only incidentally, and it’s not a constant.

                OR, alternately, “and all that implies” is not actually IF X, THEN Y MUST BE TRUE. It is a much fuzzier winkwink nudgenudge correlation comment, and does not have to subject itself to that kind of extremely rigid test.

            I’m not calling her a villain, just insanely insensitive and kind of a user. She’s using the ex she just very recently dumped in order to help out the guy whose pants she quickly jumped into. When really she COULD have just retrieved the original shoes, instead she decides to use her ex. Again.

            It doesn’t matter if she does it through a trail of go-to people, if anything that makes it even more obvious she’s just using him because she herself knows that what she’s doing is pretty jerkish.

              I think she’s just using Walky, too, based on how she’s treated him so far, so at least she’s consistent.

              Of course, she *does* want to be a politician, so using people is probably par for the course, and is certainly not something she would want to get out of the habit of doing.

              “Insanely insensitive” and “kind of a user” and “whose pants she quickly jumped into” are all also judgmental phrases.

              “When really she COULD have just retrieved the original shoes,”

              Actually, we covered this: no, she can’t just retrieve the original shoes. They are gone. Ruth probably took them and will not be giving them back. Whether or not you agree with the logic of those events, they are what has taken place, as per character dialogue and Willis’s comments in the discussion.

              “It doesn’t matter if she does it through a trail of go-to people”

              Again, Dorothy is probably trying to spare them BOTH the awkwardness. She knows it will be awkward and hard on Danny if he knows the full context. But come on: Walky is BORROWING A PAIR OF SHOES, for probably no more than a few hours. It’s not like Dorothy is demanding a kidney from Danny, or even asking him for money. She’s also not forcing him to spend time around her and Walky. As favors go, borrowing a pair of shoes for part of the day is pretty minor.

                  Not to mention what the hell is wrong if she had ‘jumped quickly into his pants’? This is the judgement I’m talking about. It makes it seem like you’ve got some weird resentment about a girl getting laid.

                Yeah, being asked to lend someone shoes is not the same as ‘being used’. The only thing that could be bad about this is hurting Danny’s feelings if he saw Dorothy with a new guy. Which she’s avoiding by having Joe ask.

                  True, bro. Too true. Why does every storyline have to be clouded by one group labelling a character a heinous villain at the drop of a hat? Seriously, it keeps happening, as if people are just looking for someone to hate.

                  No matter how many times I read it, it’s not them asking Danny to lend them shoes. It’s them asking Joe to go back in and steal a pair of shoes for them to “borrow”, hopefully without Danny being aware of their absence until they are done with them and return them.

                  Now, Dorothy’s choices of words have been misleading before, so I await tomorrow proving me wrong and them asking Joe to go in and ask Danny to lend him some shoes to lend to his ex’s new boyfriend. Maybe that’ll happen; we have only Dorothy’s own words to suggest otherwise.

            The fact that she feels it’s necessary to hide the interaction between two layers of intermediary person shows that even she thinks she’s doing something wrong there. She’s asking Walky to ask Joe to ask Danny something that she would not be comfortable asking Danny to do. That just reeks of manipulative behavior.

            As for boytoy, I’m not judging. It just seems the most appropriate title, since she’s been taking charge in the relationship and they don’t seem to be particularly serious about their involvement as yet.

      Which is a shame, because I imagine them having the sissiest slapfight ever witnessed. I like to picture Ruth and Billie watching in shock at the fact that their own fight was so much manlier.

        Because real men resort to physical violence when displeased. The way to a woman’s heart is obviously to fight her new boyfriend. None of that being a rational human being and dealing with the situation without your fists. *The tone of this post has been dry sarcasm*

          Real men (even non-stereotypical ones) *can* assert their manliness by sending the new boyfriend away without having lent him any shoes, however.

          I find it interesting that Dorothy’s choice of words is “grab a pair of his shoes for us”. That doesn’t sound like asking permission to me.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.
