Wow, I'm about as period-friendly as a lady can be, but I'm shocked that people are reprimanding the writer for being grossed out by this.

I don't think James Bond, Spiderman, Captain America, or Luke Cage regenerate into entirely new bodies every several years.

In my experience as a high school teacher, this is exactly how high schools work.

Who have the pressed charges against if they don't know who the father is?

Yes, this.

It's not just about numbers, though. I imagine that Mad Men's core audience is generally speaking of a higher socio-economic status than more mainstream shows are. And rich people spend more money.

Well, Fauxlivia never got any cortexiphan, so the baby wouldn't have any in its blood from her genes. But when I looked at the show again, I could clearly see that the blood smear taken from the baby was obviously different from the blood smear given to Walternate. Which makes me think that there was some sort of…

Wait, if there was a blood-card swap, that means that the observer got the new blood card and exchanged it for another. That means he interfered. I thought that they were very, very against interfering. Wouldn't this be a big—a HUGE—interference? Also, why on earth would the Observer want to fool Walternate into…

I used to think she was bad—in fact I complained about it. Then Fauzlivia arrived and I was like What! I think Anna Torv was just very, very smart about laying the groundwork for a lot of the characterization of Olivia from the get-go. The whole wooden thing was done perfectly to counter Fauxlivia's behavior. It's…

Wait, no. I think that the observer observed the nurse give the blood swab to the scientist. But I don't understand why Walternate needs a blood swab. And also—did they give the kid cortexiphan or something? I thought perhaps the baby was given some sort of drug or something. But then I thought the only thing the…

That was only while he was recovering from the burns he got when one of the cortexiphan kids fire-balled him when they went over to retrieve Peter last season. Now his skin has healed so he doesn't need to be chambered.

I don't know if he's definitely complaining about marriage.

Do you think that a blind person who had a service dog ought to put the dog into a carrier to walk across the common space? If your issue is allergy/fear of dogs, then a seeing-eye-dog would cause the same reaction as a panic-attack-stopping-dog, right?

"And I have to say that I'd apply the same conclusion to any person who needs a therapy dog."

YEAH MENTAL ILLNESS IS JUST ENTITLEMENT FUCK THEM.

"Instead of outright saying the word nigger, she is still saying that sexism and racism are the same thing in terms of how they manifest themselves even though we (the Black women in the thread) spent our time trying to tell other members it's not."

This is a very thought-provoking post, so thank you for that.

Holy shit. Not only is he against gay marriage, he's also against divorce.

That link is awesome. And it led me to other Tim Wise talks which are super awesome (and far longer) so thanks.

Yeah, I was like—she looks gorgeous, and she seems cool. But isn't the fact that she's no longer plus-sized kind of...relevant to the fact that she's "finally" gotten the Vogue cover? Is this news just because she's a cool model?
