      I'm from Perú and is very common to eat guinea pig (I haven't because I think they're too cute). So I guess that would've been funny here.

      Well that was an order, not a compromise, and she said they were right. I think her point is that there is a correct way to service whatever art your making and you need to find the answer, not settle for whatever is in the middle of what you and the other persons are arguing about.

    Not killing the guinea big was an excellent choice. It would’ve really marred an otherwise perfect viewing experience, and it would’ve lingered with me for a long time. In fact, I was on edge the first time I watch Fleabag, waiting for something to happen to her.

    I don't think you can get more English upper-class than this lady. One characteristic is being witty and speaking very fast with a clearly discernable upper-class accent. Another one is thinking from oneself as the center of things and knowing what is acceptable in carving out a personality for oneself and what is not. A very interesting study. In my country, we don't have people like that and I think that is a real pity. Daphne Deckers came close but that is about it; she did not dare to take it to the next level like Phoebe did.
