James. Forthwith, some random remarks:<\/p>\n<p>1) Remember how I objected to Ana&#39;s <a href=\"http:\/\/blogofstench.livejournal.com\/604182.html\">sudden promotion from executive assistant to editor<\/a> at the end of 50 Shades Darker, saying that it made no sense and that Christian should have been behind it? Well, he was. Okay, fine. I still don&#39;t think she&#39;s remotely qualified to be an editor, though.<\/p>\n<p>2) Ana and Christian have a big fight about Ana wanting to keep her surname. This fight occurs about a month <i>after<\/i> they get married. Apparently they just forgot to address the subject <i>before<\/i> they got married; they must have been too busy &quot;quirking&quot; and &quot;pouting&quot; and saying, &quot;Fair point well made.&quot; Seriously, people? You just <i>neglect <\/i>a subject that affianced couples notoriously have strong views on? You couldn&#39;t even be bothered to ask each other your preferences?<\/p>\n<p>3) Speaking of fights, I&#39;m way more interested in all of Ana and Christian&#39;s arguments than their sex scenes. In fact, after the first sex scene, I&#39;ve been skipping them all and paying close attention to their disagreements instead. It&#39;s like Conflict Porn!<\/p>\n<p>4) There&#39;s a notable amount of alcohol consumption in this trilogy. Before dinner? Have a drink. During dinner? Have a drink. After dinner? Have a drink. After sex? Have a drink. Hectic, worrisome day? Have a drink. Angry at your spouse? Have a drink. Nervous? Have a drink. Since they have sex, eat dinner, feel worried and get angry with each other frequently, Ana and Christian drink copiously. I&#39;m waiting for someone to either get drunk and do something <i>really stupid<\/i> or to develop alcoholism. Or both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#39;m almost halfway through 50 Shades Freed, book 3 of the 50 Shades trilogy, by E.L. James.
