You're absolutely right, but I think there is a valid point to be made about the imbalance in purely visual objectification between male and female characters (which of course is endemic to tv and film as a whole).

Inner what?

I think you sorely underestimate the average male's ability to appreciate shows that incorporate and even emphasize the female gaze.

That "idiot" is my new hero. I can think of no better response to such ravings.

As a kid, I thought the character's name was Donkey Hoti, having only heard him referenced by Isabella Rosellini in Death Becomes Her.

This is a question that nags at me, too, despite my overall enjoyment of the show.

I do wish Bill hadn't introduced himself to Marina almost IMMEDIATELY after Jake's emphatic reminder about remaining anonymous. On a different show this would have been a comedic smash-cut.

I wondered about that unspoken "no."

I found this infuriating—Jake's failure to take advantage of the multiple opportunities he had to overpower Johnny, when the latter was leaning over Jake, speechifying, and not minding the gun. Instead, Jake waits until they are separated by a table to make his damn move. Truly a disappointing display of…

I actually did a half-decent job of this once…when I was five, as an expression of displeasure at being told to clean my room. Perhaps Crayola scissors are the trick.

I had the same thought regarding CEG, but after reviewing some pics, Bloom's hair is more curled at the ends than I thought. (Of course, the show's other female characters all sport The Hair, with the possible exception of Heather.)

My side, your side! My side, your side!

They won't even see me!

Look at her dance!

Are you proposing that I shit in front of the couch, like some kind of animal?

I was surprised by how tolerable I'm finding him in this. It helps that, clean-shaven, at certain angles, I can pretend he's JGL.

This is really important to you, isn't it?

THAT'S why he seemed so familiar.

NO. WE DON'T FUCKING SHAKE THE MAGIC 8-BALL. That's how the last one got all foamy. IT'S ON THE BOX
