So, I just completed a survey, as this thread's title suggests. Questions about plot, characters & their relationships, etc. Finally, a place for comments. I said that I disliked the foul language used by Chrisjen Avasarala. To me, the line from that elderly woman answering the black sheriff's greeting (in BLAZING SADDLES) with a profanity was FUNNY. Likewise, in TOTAL RECALL, an elderly woman used profanity, & I am sure that was there for humor. It is funny because it is out of character, & unexpected. Yet, this woman, who held a VERY high office routinely uttered the F-word. Though I cannot recall, it may have been used only in the presence of young people; but trying to impress them with such language seemed odd. I would have expected her to rebuke them for using profanity in her presence.
Oh, there was a question about my interest in further adventures. I said 'yes!'
