They’re trying to write about romance, sure. But can you name a romantic pairing that’s been written about so far that doesn’t fit into my two categories of “doomed” (Dr. Finn/Isaac, Gordon/hologram girl, either Xelayan/anybody) or “irreparably screwed up” (Bortus/Klyden, Ed/Kelly)? The closest we’ve come to the mark f…
By using the minimum necessary force to put them down. It’s an established rule in comics that no matter how strong your opponent is or how weak you are, if you get tossed into a wall you’ll make a full recovery in a matter of minutes. Other forms of engagement are riskier.
Poor Mafee. All the guy wants is some honest human connections, and he’s just endlessly betrayed and used by everybody in his life that he has any admiration for. If finance bros like him hadn’t wrecked the world I would empathize with his plight.
Also, how exactly did Otis expect the prisoners to even slow down Supergirl?
Also, if she just lets them pound away at her or hit her with things, they’re at greater risk of doing more serious harm to themselves or bystanders. Catching the bullets instead of letting them bounce off of her and putting the bad guys down instead of letting them flail away with increased desperation is all part of…
Am I weird for thinking Rory must go through a crapload of corrective tape, doing his writing on a manual typewriter while never taking his gloves off?
Hot take: Klyden is the Keiko O’Brien of The Orville. As a person, it’s pretty clear he is struggling with a life in space he really doesn’t want and taking out those frustrations on his spouse, and as a character on a TV show his purpose is solely to throw complications at Bortus and exemplify all the “bigoted…
...using hands to talk and interact with people at the table...
Finally someone provides the right answer. Gordian Knot: cut!
Barry had no choice in the matter: no matter the circumstances, you can’t be talking (to a man who has no reservations) about (killing) a man’s mama. It is the Zeroth Commandment.
I know, right? The silver streaks didn’t make her look middle-aged, but it was a good look on her nevertheless.
He has special Awesome Beard dispensation.
Inasmuch as a good 80% of the value of a well-crafted nature documentary still comes through when you watch with the sound off, I confess this seems like a matter of taste from where I sit.
Just here to throw a shout-out to the Oprah Winfrey-narrated US version of Life, an 11-episode miniseries which the BBC produced in 2009; Attenborough narrates the UK version, which I haven’t seen, but Oprah does a great job, as one might expect.
I thought that was Katie Aselton! Loved her in The League.
I think she was perhaps more often failed than failing (except by Sue, who always had her shit together) in the early going; her role as VP was so circumscribed that all she really had to do was stay out of trouble. This could certainly have been Ianucci’s influence on the show, since his take on government in the…
I’m not sure Teddy believes Amy can save Jonah’s campaign as much as he’s still hoping for a life in politics after that campaign goes under (or so he expects, but since it’s Veep, we also know Jonah’s real chances are about 50/50 regardless of what fresh hell erupts) and therefore is looking for a high-profile hire…
Agreed. It depends on you taking something Kylo Ren says at face value while he’s trying to convince Rey to join him. I wouldn’t do that!
I’ve got no complaints about Dolly Parton either, and “9 to 5" is an indelible classic, but I guess my minor quibble is that it’s primarily an anti-rat race song, not a song about female empowerment specifically. There were probably more directly relevant choices, is all I’m saying.
