Good news: Damon Lindelof is already making more television after The Leftovers
Bad news: It's an adaptation of Watchmen

You're so brave, thank you for sharing your story

What exactly do straight people need an oasis from

They definitely gave us, and the character, closure. While I personally think she went through with it, it's open-ended enough that someone could pretend that she popped right back up and went on to live a happy life with Tommy and Jill. No big mystery here, just enough wiggle room to lead to discussion and…

"What a self-centered, heartless attitude this displays."

I've just always chalked this up to the idea that animals can sense things humans can't, whether it's a storm, or ghosts, or a disease in someone's body. Whatever happened on the 14th, the dogs must have seen/smelled/felt something that made them snap.

It's almost like the show intentionally invokes Biblical elements (trials, the number three) when they have a Matt-centric episode!

Not to get too into spoiler territory, but the first five or six books of the series are their own beast compared to the latter half of the series, and it becomes more about the children than the incompetent adults around them. And I don't think the books or the show are ever trying to be "edgy," as a child I enjoyed…

So, if she hadn't died by suffocation, then the same criticism wouldn't apply?

They made it explicitly clear that some of them - like Piscatella and Humps - were vicious and sadistic.

Yes, I've seen every single episode of this show. Bayley's actions are made to seem like a mistake (we see him fending off Suzanne the entire time, clearly distracted, and in episode 13 he's pretty obviously shocked and devastated by what went down), unlike the actual events that led to Eric Garner's death, which is…

The media already does everything in its power to downplay the humanity of murdered black people and paint their murderers as sympathetic figures who just "made a mistake." If OITNB wanted to truly stand with the BLM movement, why would they reinforce the idea that all of these authority figures are simply…

This was probably my least favorite episode this show has ever produced. Suzanne's flashback started out fine enough, but as soon as her sister(?) decided that it would be absolutely appropriate to leave her mentally ill adult sibling home alone without any sort of assistance or supervision, it took a nosedive. I…

"Because his story acknowledges that someone can have a Tragic Backstory and still be an unforgivable asshole."

"But he is also a terrific example of what Jenji & Co. do best on this show: unlikable characters that are drawn so well you can't help but empathise with them."

If not for Neal's medevac, Aubry would have been our merge boot, so I wouldn't say that was bad luck on her part. And she definitely didn't "almost win," she lost 5-2.

They used it in San Juan del Sur too. It was during this challenge that Wes Nale proclaimed himself the nugget eating champion of Louisiana, Natalie Anderson spit on herself, and Reed Kelly celebrated his Immunity win with a split.

When you're gay, you don't really get a choice in the matter. As the original commenter said, we don't automatically have support systems in place as children, so we latch onto what we can find, and that usually means finding people like yourself on your television screen.

I got the sense that pretty much everyone in the jury took issue with Spencer's behavior, we just didn't see everyone directly address it (Savage and Kimmi being the ones who did). Multiple members called him arrogant. You have to remember, all of the jurors interact at Ponderosa. There's no way Spencer's tantrum…

Okay, genuine question here: What am I not getting about You're The Worst? I watched nearly the entire first season (8 episodes, I think) and finally had to stop after realizing that I truly hated the main characters. Not in the "Woah, they hate [pop culture thing] and fear commitment, I can relate!" sort of way that…
