What if Prentiss was a ghetto thug??


They made him out to be the most perfect man. A Doctor, impeccable vocabulary, classy parents
I mean, even in 1967, he'd be ard find a flaw.
But, what if he was Tyrone, from the ghetto? All militant, and angry "Black Power"

In '67, they HAD to present the "Perfect Man"

You don't have to go that far, what if The Doctor was a Mailman like his father.


Why is it whenever I'm having fun, it's wrong?

he is too perfect to be believable. For that rqther ordinary young girl, someone more ordinary himself would have been more believable, not a ghetto thug, but just an ordinary student she met at college for instance.

Interesting story. I hope you write it! But clearly, it's not the story that the screenwriter of this movie wanted to tell.
