Even though I consider myself too young to have children, I recently became upset about a negative pregnancy test. | ||

Were you upset because the negative pregnancy test would have implications for the future plot of the show? Did you want to see how well that actress would have portrayed being a mother? Or were you upset because of something that was implied about the real world by the character's test being negative? like some inaccuracy about pregnancy? or the test? | ||

Were you upset because the negative pregnancy test would have implications for the future plot of the show?no, just the opposite. The show would have jumped the shark if she WERE pregnant. Did you want to see how well that actress would have portrayed being a mother?no Or were you upset because of something that was implied about the real world by the character's test being negative? like some inaccuracy about pregnancy? or the test?no, but the real world/real life has something to do with it | ||

Were you upset because you were sympathising with the character? With another character? Because of something about the show itself? If you had a real-life friend in the same situation as the character, would you have felt the same way had she had a negative test result? Was the character happy about the result? Upset? Relevant? Was the test correct (ie was the character genuinely not pregnant)? Should we find out more about the character? About why they thought they might be pregnant? | ||

Are your friends relevant? A particular friend? An event in your life? Had one of your friends recently taken a pregnancy test? Got pregnant? Did you think the show was being irresponsible in some way? Unrealistic? Would you have preferred that the test was positive? That no test was taken at all? Did you feel that they might be encouraging irresponsible behaviour by not showing the potential consequences of unsafe sex? Is the target audience of the show relevant? | ||

Had the character been raped? If she had been pregnant, would she have been uncertain about who the father was? Do we need to find out anything about your friend, apart from what we already have? Male or female? Does she/you fit the 'target audience' for the show? Is it targeted at children? teenagers? adults? "families"? Had your friend? both you and your friend? agreed to do something if the test turned out to be negative? And you were upset based upon the prospect of this thing being done? Or on the contrary, agreed to not do something, and the prospect was of the thing not being done? | ||

Had the character experienced 'symptoms' that she thought meant that she was pregnant (e.g. what she believed to be morning sickness), and as she isn't, there must be another cause for these symptoms? (e.g. she's actually got the flu) | ||

The next week as in the next episode? Did something relevant happen in the show? To the not-pregnant character? Had you told her what was going to happen, and she was upset because she wanted the plot to be a surprise?YES SPOILER: At the end of an episode of a TV show, a character said she was pregnant. I posted a Facebook status about it, and my friend got upset because she hadn't seen the show yet. When I found out the character wasn't actually pregnant, I realized I hadn't spoiled the plot at all, but couldn't tell her because that would ruin it for real. |
