Feeling sorry for Louis C.K., and the Powerful Female Roles his TV Shows Created.

One of the most tremendous scripted television interactions DailyPUMA ever witnessed occurred between female actors Pamela Adlon and Emma Stone on the TV show "Lucky Louie" in the 2006 episode called "Get Out". 

What a true loss if the "Get Out" episode is buried because of verified accusations against Louis C.K which apparently do not include being held against one's will or facing future punishments if the people or person had left, meaning there accusations against Louis C.K. are nowhere close to what others have been accused of.

The amazing interaction in the "Get Out" episode between Pamela Adlon and Emma Stone was not a cutsy 30 second back and forth, it was a deftly written scene that lasted several minutes and with each passing minute just became more and more intense. While women may see the success of Wonder Woman as a clawback for women actresses everywhere, lets not forget how society continually belittles episodic series that don't use physical violence or gun play, otherwise the scenes between Pamela Adlon and Emma Stone in Get Out would be held in the same Accord as Wonder Woman.

Behaving badly or inappropriately shouldn't be the only benchmark used for ending or disrupting a successful person's career. DailyPUMA is going to go out on a very fragile limb and state the following, there IS a difference between being held against one's will versus being an unwitting witness to another person's inappropriate behavior, and there is a difference between being exposed to another person's inappropriate behavior while that same witness is both completely free to leave at any time AND would not be punished in any way for leaving, including the loss of future work opportunities, and of course the witness would need to know that. Think of someone yelling at Larry David's character in Curb Your Enthusiasm after a typical Larry David anti social outburst because they know they don't have to be afraid of a Larry David repercussion in the future.

If someone hoping to get lucky behaves in a manner not deemed appropriate, and the other party is of course of legal age and free to leave at any time with no present or future repercussions, then lets not equate that with a rapist or holding someone against their will because the two scenarios are not equivalent.

Whenever DailyPUMA sees Louis C.K.'s work, DailyPUMA just instantly finds that the women in the scenes are on equal and many times on superior footing to the males, and that the real tragedy going forward will be the loss of female roles in Louis C.K.'s productions. 

If you get a chance, watch the Lucky Louie episode "Get Out" for the scenes involving Pamela Adlon and Emma Stone, they are truly remarkable.
