Personally, I felt she lost it crying more because that choice was taken away from her than because she actually wanted kids. I thought it was powerful to show exactly how even a choice taken away will affect us. I personally don't care whether I will have biological kids or not, but if that choice was taken from me... I would lose it too. And I honestly don't care, that's the weird thing about us humans.

And if they did that plot with Lily it would have lost a lot of dimension and simply become another member of a already explored area. Not that they couldn't have done it well, but it is a lot less compelling to me.

... Of course, I also think as someone else who identifies with Robin, we will all associate her actions to how we would feel about it. I know sometimes on some things I feel like she is being OOC, and then I go 'Oh, wait. That's just not what I would do! Duh me, she's Robin.' It's kinda natural I think.

YES I came here to say exactly this. You are awesome.

It was really interesting to see a character who didn't really want kids have that happen to them. If it had happened to Lily it would just be another cliched oh-woman-wants-babies-but-she-can't-have-them. I know Robin was upset but I don't think it's because she wanted kids; if she really wanted them she wouldn't let being unable to have them biologically stop her.

Your first paragraph, yes. That. Actually, your whole comment.

I was actually pretty pleased with that whole thing. I would have been pissed if they ended her with actually crying because she suddenly realized she really did want a family (since, you know, that's what real women want). Instead, she was happy and just upset about the choice being taken away from her.
