Oh, I totally agree with you. Like I said, that book was a total mess!

As a native Oklahoman... NO. (I’m an OU fan but that’s beside the point).

Yep. Clearly, based on my last post, I was annoyed about *SPOILER*, but not because it happened. It bothered me because it was unnecessary, and thus felt unearned. I am definitely okay with heroics and martyrdom for a cause in a book, but not when it could have been so easily solved a different way, and not just a…

That’s a completely fair assessment of the book. I know it suffered from a plot perspective. I have heard several people explicitly say that they didn’t like it because it was so bleak, though.

That’s fair. There was certainly a tonal shift in Mockingjay. It made sense to me, since the books are from Katniss’s perspective, and she is absolutely damaged and broken, but I can see why people felt like you did about it.

The last book in the Divergent series was a sloppy, poorly-written mess. It’s pretty obvious that Roth had a pretty good idea for a first book and then had NO idea where to take it from there, and a lot of the drama felt unearned. (There is absolutely no reason why *SPOILER* had to *SPOILER* - I won’t ruin it for…

I’m pretty sure that was the point. War didn’t magically solve these issues, and by the third book it’s abundantly clear that Katniss is suffering some pretty major PTSD. I’m always so surprised at people that were disappointed in Mockingjay, and how everything didn’t come to a neat, happy little resolution. I liked…

OMG POT PSYCHOLOGY. What a gem that series was.

Me too, sister, me too.

In all my time commenting on Kinja sites, Millihelen is literally THE ONLY FUCKING ONE where I’m not in the grays. (Plus ist’s my favorite!) BOOOOOOO GAWKER BOOOOOOOOOO

BAHAHA I wish I weren’t too lazy to direct you to an article about Wilson’s teammates not thinking he’s black enough... Can’t win for losing.

I’m far from a Russell Wilson fan (he’s fucking annoying) but there were a lot of rumors flying around that his wife was fucking any other dude she could get her hands on (COUGHGoldenTateCOUGH) so there’s that.

OMG HAHAHAHAHA I fucking hate the Cowboys but ON WHAT FUCKING PLANET is Matt Stafford better than Romo???? Yeah, he’s younger, but he’s trash. Megatron has been making him look much better than he really is for YEARS.

I tend to agree with you. I suspect that people’s problem with Cutler is twofold: one, that he sometimes makes truly spectacularly bad decisions, and two, that he just does not seem to give a shit. You might be able to throw in a third, which is that he is making SO MUCH MONEY.

This episode is on my DVR, so I haven’t watched it yet, but I just have to say, as an insufferable know-it-all myself, I fuckin’ LOVE THIS SHOW.

I would like to congratulate and thank your team for beating the Packers yesterday, so at least you have that. SKOL VIKINGS

I’m a Vikings fan, and thus very conflicted about my love for Aaron Rodgers. Fuck the Packers forever and ever though.

*they’re

Yeah, I love the hell out of Zoolander. I’m not sure if it’s objectively good, or if it just tickles my funny bone, but whatever, it makes me laugh like an idiot. I wonder how well it’s going to hold up, though - it does feel very of its time, if that makes sense.

I like Hot Fuzz far better than Shaun of the Dead, actually. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
