Oh, man. I read The Hot Zone when I was a teenager, and for whatever reason, it entranced me. Fascinating stuff. Still have a copy of the book in my collection. (And Richard Preston's book on smallpox is almost as interesting, IMO.) I have a friend whose history major caused her to specialize in the Black Death — my…

Colbert is all well and good, but nothing will be able to reproduce Craig.

I started out a MacLeod fan, but eventually realized that all my Highlander love (and lechery) went to his supporting cast.

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem — along with director

And she's been cast as thus in her one live-action appearance, which further negates how great original!Waller was.

The sentiment is appreciated, but man, don't apologize on behalf of a gender. Just call this shit out when you see it. That's the much more effective route, in the long run.

Was in Spartacus — it ended a year or two ago. She has the occasional cameo in Parks & Rec, and had a small part in Top of the Lake, but otherwise it seems like she's mostly chilling out right now.

Bad news: Orphan Black and Hannibal.

And can you just imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would occur if 5 feminist women were the ones who got to make that decision?

• Here is a preview of the Jem and the Holograms hair and makeup; it looks v. nice! [E!]

Their leader, William Gheen has a long and illustrious past of saying and writing stupid shit—case in point: "Americans are the Jews and the illegal aliens and their supporters are the Nazis."

I wonder how much of that went to her attorney.

And I don't like male writers at jezebel. This guy needs to find a new gig.

Seconded. My heart can only accept this if it's basically exactly as the show left off re: animation, cast, etc.

Hovering is stupid, if for no other reason than most people wind up pissing on the toilet seat (and then not wiping it up). Accept that fact that you (re: most of us) do not have the steel thighs of a roller derby girl, and sit on the damn seat like a normal person.

Seriously. The best fish and chips I've ever had was made with skate. Life-changer.

Time is a flat circle, Nic. You're doomed to create the same three seasons of television over and over and over again.

Do we ever hear non-hyperbolic responses from the GOP re: being referred to as the American Taliban? Because gosh, I'd really like to hear their rebuttal — we have places which are only now passing real laws re: sexual assault, places where women are being told they shouldn't even leave their homes anymore, and now…

It's Halle Berry.
