you're fine. that wasn't a spoiler. ignore petty quibbles.

jessica's apartment is one of the sparsest regular sets on any current show. there's just fucking NOTHING in there — no lush details slaved over by creative set-dressers, no art department sneaking in jokes or easter eggs. it's spartan, and kind of gross, and so jessica, and i love it.

i don't know how you say it hasn't happened yet. everything about the kilgrave/jessica dynamic denotes a demented crush on his part. that was clear to me as a viewer even in the first episode — what with his date reenactment and telling hope she couldn't jump as well as jessica — even if it wasn't clear to jessica…

and worse yet — has no ability to empathise with people who don't have his privilege, his knack of getting his way.

we just say "manager".

well, let's go to the old mill anyway! get some cider!

this guy's saying what we're all thinking!

oh, most definitely. don't be ashamed of that, though. it'd be weird if you didn't. weird and saintlike. and weird.

miserably failing to get over my first serious girlfriend! who, despite turning into an incredibly hurtful, aggressive person after we broke up, i desperately wanted to be back together with.

cavanaugh's performance is much more TV. which i don't mean as an insult, but i don't think it makes quite the impact of hardy's bane. the character was nonsensical, but the way he played it just worked for me.

thanks. and you're welcome. and you don't owe me a response! i hope i didn't come across preachy or condescending, which i kind of think i did, re-reading it now. i was really bad at getting over girls, all the way back to hopeless crushes in middle school, and i realised i had to either get good at it or die trying.…

it's also orders of magnitude more expensive.

they probably just sealed the hole with an inflatable raft, or something.

well, sure. my friend has happened to have really decent relationships, though. i'm not the BIGGEST fan of her current one, only because it has seemed to make both her and him (who i'm not as close with, but we were friendly before they were together) more boring. she's had some dissatisfaction with this relationship,…

"wait, so YOU PEOPLE get to VOTE on who leads your country? is it not decided by group-marathoning starcraft until all the other players die of starvation and you're the only one left? mystifying."

GETTING OVER SOMEONE: my speciality!

it's easy to get your perspective mucked up if you have a friend or friends who are serial long-term monogamists, though. i have one friend in particular who probably hasn't been single altogether for four months in six years, and has just, through lucky timing and being an attractive, interesting person, bounced…

if you're looking for a comic book villain on screen top five, it would be entirely dominated by voice actors from the DCAU. michael ironside? ed asner's granny goodness? jennifer hale? who i don't love all the time, but i love as killer frost. and CCH pounder! (sorta villain.)

it was a rule of henson's that they were always portrayed as frogs and bears and pigs and monsters (and humans), never puppets. so the joke would be that kermit lives is slimy and lives in a swamp, not that the swamp would stick in his fabric, and DEFINITELY not that "the guy who operates him has to squeeze into a log…
