It sets the tone for the rest of your post. You quote line after line to prove your theory of the time line. Which shows you don't get it. The point we are making is. You can draw all the inferences you want. Your theory can make logical sense. In fact I will agree with you, your time line makes sense. I will even agree logically their is age acceleration. But in the show age acceleration is not acknowledged so it does not exist. In fact dialog and actions each time Diana showed up reflect it being a while since they last saw her.
Wording on dialog is by accident. That means If age acceleration existed. Why would Adalind say to Diana the last time you saw Meisner was a while ago , you where just a baby. Why wouldn't either Sean and Adalind comment on how Diana has grown when they saw her. Why would you not at least see signs of surprise when a grown child walks in the spice shop door.
You end with
Quote:Hey, Mr. "writers intent"? Ever hear the term, "A picture paints a thousand words"? Can your infinite wisdom explain how a show's timeline of, 3 or 4 years at best, show us a girl as a pre-teen child and not see her growth was accelerated?
This is the perfect example of writers intent. The best way to tell intent is by noting if and how something is acknowledged. Aging not acknowledged the intent it does not exist. Considering your argument is entirely based on the timeline you laid out. And you do remember more then once during the series the writers admitted they play with the timeline. With the writers explaining the jump in age along with lack of acknowledgment there is age acceleration. Normal growth being the intent makes more sense then rapid growth based only on a timeline which the writers admit they have played with.
And your point is??????????????????
Here is my point. This is a fictional TV show about fictional characters in a semi-quasi real world. NOT the basis for a Doctorate or a PhD thesis.
Son, you really, really need to read your posts. Please take this advice as follows, before you post them.
After you type out a post, hit the "Preview Post" button and read it, then read it again. Walk away, have a cup of coffee, tea, camomile or what ever is your favorite meditating drink. Now let what you read simmer a bit.
Come back to the screen and read it gain. Analyze what you are posting, as another contributor. Then, criticize what you are posting as that "other contributor' and edit accordingly. Please, do this before you hit that "Post Reply" button. CAPISCE? I have hope the toxin in you, from from the jellyfish, will wears off you soon.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
