Watching this episode really shows how enduring and patient Sully is: David, Dr. Burke, the Reverend... I mean, he really loves her.

Absolutely.

I mean, say what you will about Sully's mistakes and run ins with the law, but he really is such a good man. He truly loves Michaela, and he loves the children. He is so devoted to his family and to his role as a husband and father, and that's a really beautiful thing.

OMG the "Nice Sign" gif! These scene is sooooo yummy! Thank you!

You're very welcome!  That's such a perfect first kiss scene.

my ovaries just exploded. THANK YOU.

Oh, yeah... Sully being fatherly… That’s what it does to you.

Can we just agree that this Hank gif when he takes off his shirt because he's all wet with beer after Jake's prank is truly de-li-cious...

Yes, I believe we can.  It’s not fair that Sully is usually the only guy who ever has his shirt off in the show.

Edit: and Cloud Dancing (and other Cheyenne Indians) too, but those two are about it.

Ps. To me, that's another sign of the strong feminist undertone of the show :)) or at least this is how I want to interpret it!

I think Dr. Quinn remains one of the few shows that actually supports women in a positive way.  The female characters were never treated as just sexual objects.  They were all independent in their own ways and that's something I've always loved about the show.  Practically all of the women worked outside the home and had their own things going on separate from their husbands which was great.  While there are definitely more shows (and films) now that portray women as actual real human beings, there's still a long way to go.  I think it helped that the series was created by a woman as well.

(Part 1) Hi, Thanks for the awesome blog - I'm a huge fan myself and ypur gifs are just candy to me! However I'm not particularly fond of your take on the wet shirt frame...I feel you're saying she should have worn a bra.

There is enough patriarchy in our societies for us, women, to put an additional layer of shame on our sisters' bodies... I believe women should be able to dress as they want be they educated, mothers and what not.  The hypersexualisation of my nipples has nothing to do with ME and everything to do with OTHERS and the latter are the ones that need to change, NOT ME. Especially for once that natural small boobs are at stake. :) Peace! 

 First of all, thank you!  I appreciate it.

My post on the subject was about my shock in seeing that on a family show airing on CBS in 1993 when views were much more narrow and long before the #freethenipple movement.  Never once did I shame her or anyone else for that matter.  I'm in no position to do so nor do I care to.  Jane Seymour has multiple pictures where she's topless or nipples are visible.  She has a great body and she owns it and there's nothing wrong with it.  I agree with your stance on this issue and more women should follow suit and reclaim their bodies.  You can't expect the "hypersexualisation" of anything to be going away anytime soon, however.  It's ingrained in us as a society, sadly, and there's a very long road ahead.  That's where my surprise stemmed from and it wasn't anything more than that.  I wasn't saying "how dare she show her nipples" or anything of the sort.  It was merely an observation.
