So her mom had a sex change to become her father... are the writers idiots?

While it would be possible for this to happen... have the writers of the show ever bothered to watch the shows? If the woman that was playing her mother had decided to have a sex change she wouldn't be able to change the size of her underlying bones, on a grown woman those bones are fixed. So we are supposed to believe a 5 foot 6 woman with the frame of a ballerina gains 4 inches in height and a man's frame simply from having a sex change? What the fuck are the writers thinking.

I remember years ago back on IMDb, people were saying that Red is Liz's mother and I completely thought against that idea/twist. I wonder what the writers are thinking and what, if Red just being her father was what they intended all along.. but then they changed that. I don't know, but they are really dragging this out

It's like they're trying to recreate the Red John gimmick of The Mentalist.

There's no way they will do that.It's such a corny soap opera twist that i would lose all respect for the show.They really are dragging it out though.Just say who he is already.

From the first time when he said "I'm not your father" I was sure that he was her mother. I was very surprised when the fake mother appeared ...

BUt yeah, physically speaking is impossible ...

It doesn't work. I suspect he's a former lover of Katerina.

Reading the title of the post made me laugh. I bailed on this show after Season 3, maybe early Season 4, because the story was a mess. I can't believe it's lasted so long.

Again another post from you that shows you have no clue what you are talking about how about you do some research before posting.

Could you gain height using medical means yes you can do your research it is more common then people may think.

The second point Female to Male trans many of them have with changing the way their hormones are and other things like steroids/testosterone become bulky or butch as such again go do your research.

Next time get educated kid or just stop posting also this is a tv show it's not suppose to be 100% real otherwise you would never watch any tv or movies they all have artistic license

I am very familiar with increasing height.. and once you are grown which she would have been after having had Liz, the only option she would have had would have been to have her legs stretched which would leave her body the same size. As for steroid and hormones, yes they would do a number on her skull but not the bones of her body. She was supposed to have had a lithe body like that of a dancer, you don't morph that into Red's Clearly you are just trying to find reason to be upset... well let me give you a good reason to be upset. Look in the mirror. Now you have a good reason to be upset as hell that ugly mug you just looked at.

I am upset because people like you come out with ridiculous comments and do not even understand what you are talking about and even this reply still shows you lack the knowledge.

So you are claiming people cant change their bones so how is it that people that was small when they was late teens and now in 40/50s are obese with bone structure not the same as original we change breakdown rebuild happens.

She was woman well beyond her teens dumbass. If she had a sex change operation while her bones were still grow then she might have changed some but she had it done when she was in her mid to late 20's when the little things like height were set in stone. So stop trying to prove how stupid you are.

[–] MillerJones (539) 3 years ago

I understand human anatomy and you clearly do not yet you think you have the right to call someone else dumb.

Go away little child get an education and then you can come back.

Their is procedures to increase peoples height no you do not need to still be growing as you claim.

Humans rebuild we need to adapt if you are a boxer and keep hitting a bag your bones will change the same with when someone breaks a bone.

As I stated you are claiming a small framed person can not become large so what are obese people doing and even bodybuilders you have no fn clue.

The only way to make someone taller after they are a full grown adult is by stretching their legs and it doesn't give nearly enough of an increase. Stop living on science fiction you moronic turd.

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 3 years ago

... shows that require research to be good.

I think it is a hilarious end to a show that stopped being good around season 3. You and your special interests can have it.

[–] PaladinNJ (21525) 3 years ago

I guess now it's all irrelevant. With Liz dead, there is no longer any motivation for him to divulge his background any more than he already has.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Sadly that is correct. Which is a complete fuck you to the audience the in some instances probably only stuck with the show in the expectation of getting an answer to that question. I know I would have stopped watching a long time ago if I knew in the end there would be no answer to that question as the quality of the show has been on a very steep downward slope for quite a few seasons now.
