@mama_t: Sorry you're going through that. I haven't experienced the NY divorce mess myself but I've seen many people go through it and it was always pretty dreadful. I send much strength and good thoughts your way!

@LadyTudorRose: Agree with you about the situation and her actions being controlling and abusive, although I don't think Irin is being sympathetic to Beverly Willett—quite the opposite.

@KLondike5: Yes, she absolutely could have. And she would have come out of it quite well financially, too.

@the.babe.wore.red: Completely agree. I think you said it better than I did.

@made_line: New York is a community property state. She would have automatically gotten half their marital assets, half his 401k earned during the marriage and a significant amount of child support (and likely a good chunk of alimony). This wasn't about finances and her being left unsupported. It was her trying to…

If someone wants out of a marriage, they should not be forced to stay in it. Not by their spouse, not by our laws, not by our clergy. Period. End of story.

@LaComtesse: I love that book for the unreliable narrator and the genius wordplay, which is even more amazing when you consider that Nabokov is not a native English speaker.

@Gemoftheday: When I first saw that movie I was about 13 had no idea what an important signifier that was—-I think the book was The Fountainhead —-and now that I do, I think it was really clever of the screenwriter to fit that in! Because, yeah, nothing says "selfish prick" like a male Ayn Rand fan!

@science is sexy: No doubt.

On the other hand, knowing up front that a dude has a shelf full of Ayn Rand is a real time-saver.

@scullymurphy: Well, that IS my preferred gratuitous nudity. But I would have been happy with some other nudity as well. For example, we never see Lafayette and Jesus naked, and they're both gorgeous.

@PommeDeReinette: Agreed. I think that we're gonna learn Lafayette is a witch/shaman/conjurer too.

@profanity_encouraged: Yep, Olmec mythology has a rain god who's a were-jaguar. Although at this point the last thing True Blood needs is another were-creature, IMO.

@Remy: Dunno. In several indigenous Mexican cultures, the jaguar is associated with sorcery, which would make sense since we know Jesus is descended from sorcerers and has a jaguar tattoo.

I never understood the allure of eating sushi off a total stranger's naked body.

I'm pretty sure—-although not 100%—-that Jesus turned into the Olmec or Mayan jaguar god for a minute there.

Jesus H. Christ—-what a bunch of fucking douchebag assholes. I'd be going to the beach in a circus tent.

@la.donna.pietra: True. And there was plenty of Eric, although he was not nude or in a black tank top.

@GoldRaes: Eric is awesome 4 EVA.

@bookling: That was actually way hotter than the gratuitious Sam/Tara nudity. Acting FTW!
