I mean, sure, but not everyone is willing to sew shit or trawl through Etsy. Again, I do agree that these are tacky and I wouldn't buy them (although I'm just not quite enough of a Marvel fangirl to wear that sort of thing in public), but I guess I'm glad they exist.

The actual designs are sort of tacky, but I feel like this may be a good step in acknowledging Marvel's diverse female fanbase. Like, yes, some female fans may be satisfied with buying merchandise in men's sizes, some female fans may just want graphic tees in women's sizes, but some of them might want more "feminine"…

I can't stop seeing him as a discount Josh Charles. Mostly the vocal inflections, I think?

As amusing as the concept of Peggy/Brian Krakow is, I'll be so sad if Peggy/Stan isn't end game. I mean, they're cool as bros, but they could be so much more (and it's probably the only way Stan will get substantial screen-time).

I read the book sometime during the first half of the season, and man, I have been dreading the "punishment" scene. I'm not sure there's any way the show could have handled it without having it be ~problematic.~ Switching to Jamie's perspective was actually a smart move in theory, because this is a moment where the…

The soundtracks to Da Vinci's Demons and Black Sails are probably as good or even slightly better, but I could not get past the pilot episode for either of those shows.

I don't have any strong positive or negative feelings towards Gwyneth Paltrow, but yeah, I don't think she was very well cast here. It doesn't help that I watched the Romola Garai Emma first. Paltrow feels a bit too calm and subdued, I think? Because Emma should be really vivacious; even at her most selfish, people…

Unfortunately, Keener's Theoretical Statistics is my main cultural consumption this weekend, if that even counts.

Eh, we've seen on numerous occasions that Joan has no problem calling Sherlock out on his shit when he actually crosses a line, so I don't really feel like she's being disrespected. And she doesn't make the same comments about him or laugh about his comments, because that just doesn't really seem like her sense of…

1) Yes, that blouse was fantastic, and Joan's knit hats were adorable.
2) Are Sherlock's comments about Joan's sex life really that bad? Because that is a thing that close friends do and I kind of love that that's where they're at with their relationship.
3) Adult sibling dynamics are really fun to watch (see: Alicia…

Yeah, I really liked the ending of this week's Banana. The fantasy ending would have been cute, but not super original. This instead addressed something that doesn't get brought up as much as it should in the arguments to the bitter Nice Guy rants that pop up all the time on the internet—-essentially, this bullshit…

Yeah, I follow this tumblr (http://wornontv.net/element… that identifies clothing from tv shows, and a lot of Joan's shirts and dresses do fall into the $50-$200 range, which seems* totally reasonable? Of course, quite a few items are >$500, but whatever.

Oh god, w.r.t Buffy: how does a high schooler afford that much leather? Why would anyone even wear that much leather in Southern California?

Oh, see I think Joan's style of clothing (if not the amount) does work towards her characterization. If the wardrobe people only wanted her to look attractive and leggy, they could have just thrown her in some generically stylish body-con dresses and called it a day, but instead she has this really distinctive and…

I'm not quite as bothered by the expansiveness (and expensiveness!) of Joan's wardrobe as I am by the same thing on other shows (Parks and Rec, Glee*, etc.), because 1) she was making doctor money and then sober-companion-to-rich-clients money until recently and 2) she doesn't appear to have any expensive hobbies…

Yeah, I've sort of been looking into teaching as a career option, and…it seems like you either need to have a teaching license and/or master's degree? You can't just decide to be a teacher and get immediately hired, right? (Not that we should expect realism about that sort of thing from Girls, but still. What even are…

Not sure why the reviewer expected the killer to have an ideological struggle w.r.t. the formula. I'd say that part of truly internalizing that type of math is knowing enough about the different models to be able to determine which will benefit you the most in any given situation—-if her expected gain from one model…

Yeah, I had the same gut reaction, but right, it doesn't totally make sense to not want outsiders to direct movies about underrepresented groups but also complain about the overall whiteness or straightness or goyishness or whatever of mainstream media. (I mean, the ideal solution is probably to have more…

Let's not forget The Breast, which had the greatest plot of all.

Oh god I want to disengage from this argument, I really do, but apparently I can't. Ginny dates two guys before Harry, which is hardly every guy in Hogwarts, and I don't know how to articulate this more clearly—I have no idea what your gender or sexuality is, but let's assume you're interested in women. Your childhood…
