Whatever that may be.
I think that just means that she doesn't have whatever factor in her blood she would need in order to be ceremony material -- not that she's a "bad apple."

Actually, the info on the whiteboard in the bunker indicated that the former Resistance members had decided that the girls chosen for the ceremony had "something in the blood." That could certainly be interpreted as a "trait."

But mine all plug in -- they don't use batteries. And they don't make that much . . .
Never mind.

Oooh, TMI.

But his facial expression didn't seem right, and besides, it was pretty random to say while wearing a doctors outfit
I thought he actually said:
Don't call me Beast. . . .
But maybe I was wrong. I've gone back and listened, and I swear, he says 'don't' rather than 'they'
I heard "Don't." Quite clearly.

Agreed.
TOSG wrote:The "trait negative" bit seems to suggest that the ceremony girl requires a certain genetic/medical feature, which many of us have been speculating for a while. I'm glad that they're presumably going in this direction.
As I noted above, the whiteboard in the bunker clearly suggested that there's a genetic/medical feature. So the reference in this vid is nothing new.

Definitely. That line from Taylor was just a conversation-killer.
And it pissed me off, because the script seems to be shifting Taylor very quickly (and without explanation) from baby-dyke vibe to boy- and man-crazy. Of course, I really liked the baby-dyke vibe, so I'm unhappy about the switch, but it also makes no sense in terms of character development.
kismetologist wrote:Trait negative? Well...looks like she's not the girl and they may have wasted a whole lot of time messing around with the whole kidnapping business.
I thought that the "trait negative" proved that this whole Jules situation was clearly a setup, and that Jules was never in danger -- she simply served as bait to get Bree to offer herself for the ceremony, in order to "save" Jules from doing it (and supposedly being killed).

Most take AA batteries
(From Wikipedia)"The sale of vibrators and similar "novelty items" is forbidden in several states in the southern USA. In the state of Texas, the sale of devices for sexual stimulation such as vibrators and dildos is technically illegal, but many stores will sell such items provided that the customer sign a statement that the device will be used only for educational purposes"
Have you seen
"The Dildo Diaries"? It's all about this very subject. The late Texas political commentator and humorist Molly Ivins is in it, and she's hilarious.

Watermelon, do you really think she'll marry you once she catches a glimpse of your avatar?

Plot hole?

Exactly, pixie.

Just thought that was worth mentioning.
Not here, not yet. There are all kinds of legal and technological barriers at this point that various groups are trying to deal with.
