@lemdi: Ah, too bad. My knowledge of Iowa until now was that I drove through it once...and probably will drive through it again someday. :)

@la.donna.pietra: Interesting. Seems like a lot of hassle to me...but I can't even manage the one marriage...so what do I know! :)

@la.donna.pietra: Agreed. Utah definitely won't recognize it. Though it happens all the time I assume it's not considered legal.

@noshadowscast: I know...rock on Iowa! Why are they so ahead of their dull grey neighbors? Love it whatever it is...wish everyone else would catch up.

Go THE GOOD WIFE Go! 8 Nominations...all well deserved. Yay!

I was kind of thinking that it was a more obvious/gross reference...because of how half the message is on one leg and half on the other...that love (translation: sex) will separate the legs..."tearing" them apart from one another.

@elephantom: Agreed. I'm not a fan of hers based on some of the horrible shit she's said recently, but based on that skit alone...not the best TDS skit I've seen, but certainly not the worst.

@SydTheKyd: I think Mr. Lee would be more accurate since Jim Lee designed it...but point taken, and AGREED.

@MizJenkins: Well...she didn't wear the outfit on the island...

@moonkitten: It's funny...I never cared so much that she didn't have pants...it was the silliness that you could fight crime in a strapless bustier. Put some straps on that shit and I would have shut up. It's a gorgeous powerful iconic costume...it just needs straps.

@Punkin: She is even MORE beautiful in person. Also, one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever met....celebrity or otherwise.

@introverted_innovator: I don't know...like I said, I was totally Team Noel when I originally watched it...but catching a few episodes on reruns a while back I was really drawn to Ben...I think something in him reminded me of my guy...I don't know. But yeah, I fully switched over to Team Ben. What can I say?

The only one I vehemently disagree with on Encore's list is Sookie Stackhouse. I mean, if you're not into her that's fine...but saying that you don't understand what's special about her other than that she fills out her waitress outfit nicely (which she does) is just silly. I mean...SHE READS MINDS. That's not just

@greeneyedfem: Oh man...yes! There was one called Joanna (Johanna?) I think...I loved that one. Read it like six times.

I'm not sure Felicity herself was worth fighting over, but her two love interests Nole (sp?) and Ben was maybe the first time on television (or anywhere?) that I was given two dudes that I COULD NOT DECIDE WHO WAS BETTER. It drove me crazy...in a good way.

@wetpope: Jack Donaghy...as played by Alec Baldwin...maybe the ONLY man worth fighting over! ;)

@magnets: I agree. The rumor is that DC Editorial has been shooting down writer pleas for a costume change for years (I'm not sure if Rucka asked, but I know Jodi Picoult asked)...I guess JMS got through because he could argue that the outfit change would be temporary and the old one wouldn't make sense for his

@maggeimerc: Gail Simone is off the book. This costume redesign is the launch of J. Michael Straczynski's reboot (starting with #600, which came out today) and which finds Diana partially stripped of powers and all of the Amazons long dead (Gods changing the timeline or some such). Off to read it now...but very

@Morigel: Well she's now suddenly 23. WTF. So maybe that's why she looks younger. Also, for this "temporary reboot" they've cut out most if not all of her mythological touchstones and Amazonian heritage...so unlikely they'd based the redesign on any of that great stuff. I too loathe it and am not on board, but for

@wednesdayam: I too was a big fan of Simone's run. Even though I would list Rucka as one of my favorite writers, no Diana made as much sense to me as Simone's and I was really disappointed when I found out she was leaving and JMS was coming in. I'm going to certainly read the issues before I make up my mind...but
