I have a friend who only has a cell phone so she can keep in contact with her kids — one is a high-functioning autistic, but I don't think that plays into it all that much, I think she'd do it anyway. (Cue: "In my day...you whippersnappers!" But seriously, in my day, I called my mom collect in case of emergency —…

Aunt from St. Croix. Lots of other family from Jamaica. I remember doing the competition thing with my cousins over who could eat the hottest food, and the observation I made at age ten that eating my aunt's food could strip all the taste from any subsequent beverages.

I have no desire to do any of this anymore, none…

Can I just inject some dopamine?

You are used to high prices due to working in the entertainment industry. (So am I.) Stop paying those prices.

These are not bad! (For me, nothing can match the haunting sound of a cello — nothing — but I like the trombones. I feel like marching in synch with a Scout troop or something.)

I love the bit where he's like: "You used to be the worst ever! But look at you now!"

My computer actually has Tyrion moving in perfect rhythm to the song. :D

It's true, they have made a point of Kira's swift healing ability, although they haven't revisited it much. I'd assumed it was because Sarah's a wild card, and they don't know what her genetic material would do — by all rights, she ought to be an exact match and have the same weaknesses as Cosima, but she's already…

Did he die? I think he died, but I averted my eyes.

I love it, I love it, I LOVE it. It's *all in the hair*. I'm this close to convinced they've been *deliberately* messing up Sarah's hair just a little bit more than usual all season. Last time, Helena impersonated her, and Helena's wig was just a little bit too frizzy (and Sarah's was neater, especially with the…

See the latest-night showing you possibly can. (Although, I have to say, it's actually *never* been little kids that ruin films for me, it's been teenagers. I love you, teenagers! You're doing what you're supposed to do, acting out and learning to be your own authority rather than having to be told what to do step…

I tried to watch this once, based on my girl crush on Kanietiio Horn, and I just couldn't maintain my interest. Not even for Tiio. Which made me sad.

Badass. :D

I thought it was either imagined (or a flashback. After which, I guess I subconsciously assumed she would've called in a cleanup crew on her fancy phone).

I am fully in agreement with your statements as general statements.

We don't actually know any of this stuff definitively and concretely — it shouldn't affect our treatment of trans and fluid individuals with respect, and their preferred terms of reference.

IS THAT EDDIE REDMAYNE? Being evil???? Oooh, I saw this film in the UK and did not get this trailer and I feel so cheated now!! (Appreciation to you for bringing this to my attention, thank you thank you)

I dislike Greyjoys but approve of your enthusiasm.

The dragon issue is weird, and I am weirded out by it. She never turns into a dragon, which sucks. But she also inflicts change on her henchman — who doesn't actually want to be changed. I'm not comfortable with any of that.

Theoretically it might not be that bad, but it's one of the biggest taboos. Even Bronze-Age societies that let you pay a cash blood price for cold murder to avoid years of feudin' or legislated that marrying the virgin you carried off and raped was A-okay as long as you gave her a month to mourn her dead family still…
