Well, in this particular case, I can't blame them. You know how Orion's are.

Oh, it's not at all out of character! And at least one person in the room is trying to have a not-about-guys conversation, so maybe they get half-credit?

While I personally think that the Bechdel Test could use some re-figuring, I would also argue: It is only supposed to be about human (American) interactions, who knows how other species are supposed to fit in.

Make the test too complicated and it loses its value--but I'm curious about why you think it could use re-figuring.
