I just checked, Finland passed a same-sex marriage law this year, so hopefully we'll see a woman win this someday. Maybe not soon though, sounds like an upper-body-strength kinda thing.

One wok for each butt cheek, maybe.

Thanks, I'd heard of that event but never seen it. Somehow I thought the cheese would be bigger, like car tire sized.

There's also the Mongol Rally, a race from England to Mongolia in the worst vehicle you can get your hands on. Going through Russia is widely considered cheating.

Clarke looks stunning in her own hair. In GoT she looks like a pretty girl wearing something Donald Trump's cat coughed up on her head.

Somebody help me figure out the dialysis machine without spoiling future episodes. Kilgrave has no remorse or pity, so I can't see him buying it. Unless he wants to keep Kidney Boy alive to take more organs from him in the future, but they established that Kidney Boy isn't an organ match, so he's no more useful…

Probably if anybody working for Netflix utters those names, a swarm of Paramount lawyers rappel in from black choppers.

I thought it was the classic Psychic Nosebleed trope, and I freaked the hell out. Finding out it was krav maga was a huge relief.

"The show doesn't try to beat you up with the similarities between what The Purple Man is doing and real life sexual assaults"

"Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?"" — The guy who started Joel Osteen's religious denomination

Indeed. If I want to look that good at age 45, I'm going to need a time machine and some very different life choices.

The plot is always inevitable and unstoppable, and while it never loses its weight and impact it gradually slows down until sometime in Season 3 you realize it hasn't moved anywhere in quite a while.

Yikes, I've read a bit about those elections, you guys are on the edge of a cliff as I understand it. Good luck!

I recommend IV, V, VI, IV again, and then watch paint dry for four hours.

More TV, less computer games, because this nerve problem in my right arm is going on week three and still mind-numbingly painful.

Okay, sure, I'll bite. They're fun for the first hundred or so, but after a while his childlike enthusiasm schtick starts to get a bit old, and while he writes about some interesting ideas in history, science, ethics, and philosophy, he never gets more than skin deep into 'em. He's a dilettante, and it shows. It's…

That's why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol.

Awesome. Permission granted to spam this in every goof-off thread on the A.V. Club. I'd love to see Fuck This Shit, Playlist, and the Cancellation League (or whatever it's called) move here so they're easier to find.
