I think I'd like to see White Bear redone but tweaked to comment on our love of true crime media, with a blatant Nancy Grace stand-in.

I like remakes when they become particularly American. Gracepoint could have worked if it didn't try so hard to be like Broadchurch. That town was pretty important to the show, try a little harder to make an American version (then again American TV is terrible at making a convincing small town) and ask how the story…

There was an American version and it was awful because it was on CBS which really loved the down home southern lady (or was she midwestern) and blatantly hated anyone who seemed the slightest bit urbane.

But they also want to be able to kill people who can't afford good defense attorneys and look the other way when those people are killed for playing music too loud.

IMO the sad thing is that from a writers perspective I think they killed them so they could be in heaven waiting for Elsa in the end, which seriously objectifies them making them just part of Elsa's reward in the afterlife.

I kinda love that Jamie Brewer has been brought back as a character that wasn't defined by her Down Syndrome. I hope that's not a one-off, not just for Brewer but for AHS.

The lactose intolerant can focus their worship on the elder cheeses, the parmesan, the sharp cheddar, the manchego. The blessed cultures have made those cheeses safe.

Sigh. I do fear HRC running and the media creating a repeat on the 2000 campaign, when they were all over Gore for every little thing (the man sighed in exasperation in a debate and the beltway meltdowns made it sound like he threw up in the Japanese Prime Minister's lap) while dismissing every stupid thing Bush did.…

What made me find Nate interesting in the TV show was that he was fairly average in terms of intellect and talent but smart enough to realize his family's wealth gave him opportunities he just wasn't equipped to take advantage. Then again, I found Blair/Serena interesting as the girl who has to work hard to do well…

Aw, I thought we discovered a new member of a Hitler family in addition to Ted (who works under the name "Stephen Colbert") and Doug (who lived in Chicago and dated a woman named Penny Hartz until he mixed up her attempts to get accustomed to his name with fetishization).

You got to remember it's a cycle of hate with their base. Hate the sluts who have sex without your permission so take away their birth control and access to abortion. Hate the welfare queens living it up so take away their WIC and SNAP benefts so they have incentive to work. Hate the working moms who can't afford day…

I came to the comments section looking for references to Ruxpin's work as Kathy Geiss' lawyer and found none. Has Jezebel forgotten all their Liz Lemon references?

Okay, that makes more sense. I thought current TV shows if they were going to expire from Netflix they'd expire in Sept/October, matching what the new episodes first appeared.

I'm starting to think it's the opposite of the Star Trek movies, it's the odd-numbered seasons that are watchable. The even numbered seasons are stab your eyes out bad.

Considering Mary's history, shouldn't someone be going "Oh, no! They had teh sechs! Mr Gillingham is going to die an early death like Mr Pamuk or Matthew!" Then again, I think Anna is the only one who knows Mary's complete sexual history and she's go bigger worries.

Yeah, and even then Anna got judged by the pharmacist's wife for not having the control to keep an aspirin between her knees if she didn't want to have more* children. (IIRC, Anna had to lie about having children to get the diaphram.)

I mentioned in another thread, I used to read YAOI and BL but I usually wait to hear which titles avoid the misogyny in the genre (the seme/uke stuff is frequently misogynistic).

Sigh. Yes. As a gay man, I was pretty excited about YAOI getting translated into English... until I read them. There are some good stuff but you have to learn which authors to follow (Fumi Yoshinaga and Yugi Yamada are pretty consistently great). Otherwise, you'll find a lot of rape culture fantasies (stuff where one…

Is it a coincidence that you used a gif of someone who seems to be pretty popular among RP slash writers? ;)

The funny thing is in Hawaii the stereotype is the opposite. There you really do need to shower every day, so the idea of not showering on a day when the temperature is cool enough that you don't sweat is seen as a weird haole thing.
