They really are. If the producer manages to net David Bowie for Hannibal's uncle, as he was talking about, I think I'll be over the moon with how perfect the cast is.

I'm turning my gentleman friend on to the series right now, and we just watched that episode this weekend. The pillows were such a nice, creepy touch.

Oh, Limekiller. Let me introduce you into thoughtful, beautiful, horrifying, cannibalistic joy. The cast is impeccable, the visuals both staggering and disturbing, and while the first season was a bit of a slow burn, the storytelling was pretty great.

Correct. Can we pretend that this book never existed, and instead make the article about how great the Hannibal TV series is? Gillian Anderson and Gina Torres killed it in their roles there.

That is beautiful. Because, as we know, it has long been documented and confirmed that the conservative right loves it some strong women.

She mentioned 'in the winter', so I'd guess it's because if you go tromping around outside with the hems of your pants untucked during nasty winter weather, you'll be damp up to your calves. Or fashion, either/or.

Bean boots are wonderful for a variety of reasons, but they are horrible when it comes to traction on slippery surfaces (slush over pavement, ice, etc). I think LL Bean's lifetime guarantee counterbalances this — you can indeed return them at any point down the line, whether it's 30 days or a decade later.

I go the extra step and also wear sunglasses on the plane. It labels me as a douche, but it confuses people enough where 90% of them will leave me alone, and allows me to ignore lighting in favor of naptime.

(correction: your favorite actress who starred in Casper)

Confirmed by Google buying Boston Dynamics and all their gloriously awesome/scary robots. Say hello to your Terminators, folks. Does that make Samantha West part of Skynet?

Totally understand. I had the opportunity to pick up and relocate here awhile back, and can definitely attest to how great a place it can be. The nice thing about this state is its utter patience — it'll always be here waiting. I hope you get the chance to be where you want to.

If Maine has taught me anything, is that you don't need the lottery in order to make that scenario happen.

Welcome to any show created by Shonda Rhimes, where shit is crazy all the time, and we all watch it religiously.

Yesssss. I recall having fallen in love with them courtesy Buffy, back in the day (same with Rasputina), and they were so fun and wonderful.

Now now, no need to brag. (That is my jealousy speaking.)

They were known for being a retail chain which would usually set up shop in malls, occasionally shopping plazas. I went to high school during the mid/late '90s, and remember shopping there since they were reasonably popular at the time.

If it makes you feel better, I've been creepily attracted to him since Boston Legal. He and Rhona Mitra, man.

Do you not care for Michael Sheen solely in Masters of Sex, or is it all of his work which you don't care for? Genuinely curious, as I think that he's a great actor when given a decent role.

Valid point. I personally found the character she played to be grating and terrible (for reasons that the show outlined clearly), but that's nothing on the actress herself. She did a great job with her character... it's just that unfortunately, next to every other character and all those other actresses, she didn't…

I know I was. I realize that she's there to grow as well as to act as total counterbalance to the supporting cast, but she and her fiance were teeth-grindingly awful. The rest of the supporting cast, though? Every woman in that prison? Impeccable.
