That scene resonated with me. I have two young kids. I know little children are selfish monsters who think of nothing but their own wants. Sometimes, though, I get a little sick of being taken for granted. Parenting young kids is a constant sacrifice of one's personal desires. And you get NO acknowledgement of that…

These rankings are a thing of beauty.

Oh yeah, the other David who makes amazing TV.

I wonder if all the doomsayers feel stupid.

It's desperation.

Your last sentence sums up everything that 2nd wave feminism got wrong. Women were taught that they'd been denied the privileges traditionally given to men (true), but also taught that those privileges were inherently better than the roles traditionally given to women. There is NOTHING WRONG with privileging family…

Maybe because I'm a parent, maybe because I have a kid with developmental problems, but that "dependent on alcohol and cigarettes to form his social life" is just horrifying. If this kid has the maturity level of a 14-year-old, he's not capable of making these decisions for himself (and as for camwhoring, that's a…

The Duke porn actress wants to be a lawyer. To be admitted to a state bar, you have to pass a "character and fitness" requirement that examines your "moral character". This is going to be a problem for her. You can argue it shouldn't be, but it will.

Or on the basis of: "this is a person who is tweeting every 10 minutes during the workday". Or, "this is a person who clearly had their mom write their cover letter, because every social media posting they made is badly spelled and punctuated".

I don't even know if I think it's utter bullshit. Like other posters have said, there are so many candidates for every job, and the ugly secret (or not secret) of the working world is that there are tons of people who just suck at their jobs. So for hiring managers, trying to screen out potential employees who, for…

Pam doing something disgusting and toilet-related will never NOT make me laugh. I love how she is just so gloriously comfortable with herself, no matter what. It's not the kind of thing you see with female characters unless they're 90 years old.

What Dany went through with Drogo is what millions of women have gone through in societies with the same kind of rules about gender and marriage. Within marriage, there was no such thing as rape (this was the case in the US until very recently). What WE interpret as 'consent' is not what people in the past did (and…

THANK YOU. People want their characters good or bad. GOT is great because most of these characters are both mixed together. They don't fit into our modern conceptions of those terms because they live in a different world.

And no child deserves to be murdered, but he did his best with Bran. How did that not RUIN his character?

Jaime threw a kid out a window. He's not "good" no matter how charming he is.

Having triplets is the most Knope kind of pregnancy. It makes perfect sense.

Can we just permanently swap out Craig for Tom? Tom's "cool" schtick has gotten really tired over the years. He's the only character whose foibles are less endearing than frustrating. And "Tom's Bistro" is a horrible name for a restaurant.

Agree, Leslie and Ben wanting kids hasn't come out of left field like the review implies.

"I think I'm gonna be sick."

It is weird how a hat can make such a difference. It's like he aged 20 years when he took it off.
