Well, they ran Dollhouse towards the end. So…I think they are talented. Also their Spartacus episodes were pretty top notch.

The "Hail Hydra" "Put your arms down…" moment might be the most Bill Paxton moment Bill Paxton has ever had.

Hannibal is definitely the other example I can think of going from "why?!" to "oh this is amazing" to where Hannibal (and Rectify) might be the best show on TV. But Hannibal had Bryan Fuller attached so I was always cautiously excited for it.

I am blown away. When this was announced, my thought was "This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard." I am beyond impressed and most definitely eating my words. Excited as heck to see this story play out and see what stories they'd do in the future.

Some people enjoy both, even.

Yeah I can understand that point. Fuck…now I'm depressed.

It's not really a snobbishness of language that causes people to use it. Instead it's a way to identify oneself and to keep "trans*" from being seen as the other. The same way people get annoyed at makeup for defaulting to white skin tone. By using "cis" it allows for people to not just act as if that is the default…

what is your problem with this term, exactly?

The way they talked about power dynamics also bothered me quite a bit. As if a woman engaged in a sub relationship in a sexual partnership with a man is automatically being abused by the patriarchy and has no control over said relationship or system.

It'd be cool if Dini were involved.

Am i the only one who likes him? By him I mean Agent Rock Pecs

Whoa!

Oh absolutely.

I was convinced it was going to be Cary (I had it ruined that someone would die) and I am so glad that is not the case. I think the show can grow from this loss but without Cary it wouldn't.

God damn it I was this show to last forever.

I loved these books as a kid, so much. never did finish them.

Bruce Springsteen, the Pixies, Pavement, basically film in general.

Mathesar

Well. I was cautiously excited for this show. Now I am REALLY excited for this show.

Time Bandits reference too in there I was told but I missed it.
