It's not just that secret, I've seen it elsewhere too, Tumblr most of all.

I also hate how fandom reacts to women, and it's a direct reflection of how the show itself treats women through their writing. It's a vicious misogynist cycle that should be stopped.

As if my post wasn't and indicator enough, I, too, love how Amelia's character was handled. When you take ordinary people and present them an extraordinary situation, nobody is going to have the same reaction. Even those who are religious with have different reactions; some will claim a miracle, others will be skeptical. Amelia was placing her concern for her family first, she wasn't at all interested in being ~intrigued by the fact that her husband was not burned after sticking his hand in boiling hot water. She took control and tried to keep the family together.

The Novak story was depressing and sad, but there is no blame to be put on anyone. They were all victims of circumstance.
