Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 198296" data-attributes="member: 102">When you mention the women didn't become stronger, that they became the opposite, it made me think of Pam's character. There was a comment by the interviewer in the interview I took the quotes in the OP from, that: "Then there was also the character of Pamela who became incredible weak post the dream season."Is the reason some people perceive Pam being weak in season 10 because she was so afraid that something would happen to Christopher? Pam became overprotective of him, didn't want him to go on a school field trip because he might get hurt, etc.Suppose they'd had Pam be stronger. Would that mean she wouldn't have insecurities like that one, the feeling of inadequacy because she couldn't have a baby, and the feeling of needing to meet Rebecca so she'd have a more complete sense of her identity? Pam wasn't strong enough to be able to wait to adopt. That's what led to the storyline of Bobby telling Pam yes when she asked if the baby he was bringing into the house when he thought she wouldn't be home was for them. He was bringing Christopher to JR; he thought Christopher was JR's child! He didn't have the heart to tell Pam that though and it led to that storyline.Wasn't that quality of vulnerability that Pam had part of what made the audience be able to identify with her? If they had made Pam stronger, she'd have lost that vulnerability. Do you think that would have made the show better?</blockquote>
