Everyone in The Leftovers is super sad.

Please don't write yourself off. There are tons — tons — of women (and men!) who think that bigger bald guys are attractive. There are probably more still who don't necessarily fancy that, but would probably like other things about you as well and don't place as much importance on it. (Also, most of us eventually end…

This was actually a pretty good show, though I literally could not bring myself to watch the last episode. I'll probably watch the new season though, because I apparently like torturing myself.

Lucky you. I'm the mean one so mostly I get to burn relationships with school administrators to the ground for my husband to then rebuild. It sounds unbalanced but we are a surprisingly effective team at this.

Are you always this down on yourself?

Yeah, that's a secret perk of parenting they spring on you. When your kids get old enough for school, you'll also find that, as a good parent, you are going to have to constantly engage with the school on behalf of and regarding your children, and about half of those conversations are going to be mildly to deeply…

My husband and I saw A Cure for Wellness and were mostly split on it. (I mostly liked it; he mostly found it boring.) We both agreed it was too long and the ending was over-the-top silly. The movie had a chance to end 20 minutes earlier than it did in a nightmarish fashion that might have made it the best…

Also Pyrokinesis. Oh, wait, that was Syd, wasn't it? But isn't her power to switch bodies? Hmmm. Interesting, that.

I don't know if it's actually a spoiler to say this, but just in case: at least one, if not the majority, of the main non-David characters are actually personalities in David's head. That's kind of a key detail in the comic, and it would be shocking to make a show with this name, about this character, where it wasn't…

From the moment I saw the devil, I thought it was the Shadow King.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it,, but I suspect the devil with the yellow eyes is actually the Shadow King, an incorporeal/psychic villain who manipulated Legion in the comics to gain control of a lot of tertiary X-Men characters on Muir Island. Melanie is almost a perfect stand-in for Moira MacTaggart if…

Depends on which way you stick it in, I think. I don't know. Doesn't the Constitution address this?

They still ought to know.

Yeah, it has pretty much been used to justify every terrible thing in American history from slavery onward.

Yup. Same shit as always.

Well, they may not be coming for your marijuana specifically. It's not like those laws have ever been fairly or evenly enforced across all communities.

That is a pretty good guess. The Secret History of Twin Peaks has offered some clues here and there as to where the new season is going as well, and I fully expect to see more weird White Lodge/Black Lodge stuff than we had in the entirety of the first two seasons.

Not necessarily. A search can still be unreasonable/a warrant can still be challenged under the Fourth Amendment.

So. Excited.

Yup. I grew up in the Bible Belt of the United States and have a pretty good understanding of that particular brand of Protestantism, as well as what the Bible actually says. (I remain confused to this day why so many Protestants are obsessed with the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments, but I've given up trying to…
