Jesus Christ isn't the year 2013 supposed to mean something? Apparently now there's only going to be one clinic left in NC based on the fun new trick of requiring every clinic to be as robust as a surgical outpatient center that no one can afford and no one in that state will help build. Fucking hell.

That's why there should be unions everywhere, even Familiar Unions, to protect the little guy when management starts shooting lightning at them (typical republican move)

I wasn't very happy about the reveal. It was just too hokey, and given the amount of clues they've used, any single character could have just stood up and declared themselves to be the durach and it would have made as much sense.

And also there was that episode with a suicide attempt brought on by society's inability to understand an orphan with a different gender identity

Loved it. "if anything happens, come find me first" the actor delivered it with a quiet desperation that really sold the scene and his feelings for Dani.

(sigh) God dammit, that never occurred to me

eh, nothing in sci-fi can be that bad, considering three characters turned out to be angels, at least this show hasn't fallen into a pseudo-religious clusterfuck

Mental problem? It's the nobility of the human spirit! …. somehow

"Blink…..blink…..blink…..blink"

I gotta say, a big part of my love for the AV club are the lovecraft references. I grew up around groups of friends who assumed he was a romance writer, which was more than a bit infuriating

Stop! Next thing you know there will be a season-long arc next year about a young handsome insurance investigator (who also happens to be a Merman!) falling in love with Sookie. Gratuitous nudity ensues.

Apparently, not sexually humiliating someone makes you vampire Jesus on this show. Talk about a low bar.

I get that exact same feeling, and what's worse is that I see it so often even around here when a lindsey lohan article or something like it pops up. And then pages and pages of slut-shaming comments show up.

They're harboring Edward Snowden right now!

Agreed. The power dynamic alone is so damn icky. It's a right call for any guard/convict sexual conduct to be labeled as sexual assault. How little those laws are enforced though is just another terrible matter in itself.

Yeah I don't see a diagnosable mental disorder in Piper. She's a person struggling to adjust to a radically different and painful environment. It's been shown that Piper can be a flighty and selfish person, but her becoming institutionalized and having to confront her issues and the consequences of her actions seem to…

Hey watch what you say about Phoebe's date, that guy has a PhD!

I liked that he's pretty much the only random guest actor to make a second appearance on the show, even though it was so, so sad

I thought Janice was great, and was always annoyed that the Friends treated her like a pariah because of her annoying voice.

MORE LIPSTICK!
