Hank Berrien

On Thursday night, a staff writer for New York Magazine and Vulture.com, where she writes about and reviews television, was apparently freaked out and fulminated on Twitter about a fictional character in the hit show “The Big Bang Theory” getting pregnant and being happy about it in the series finale. Dr. Kathryn VanArendonk, who has a PhD in English from Stanford University, wrote, “IN THIS CLIMATE?! my mind is still boggling. REALLY? THAT’S THE END? REALLY!? when I say that I feel sure this is an accident, what I mean is that it seems likely to have been written with no reference to current events re: abortion laws. it’s clearly not an accident as far as how they decided to find an ending for that character.”
