I think you mean lairs.

Ah, Karen Carpenter's story just breaks my heart. My mom is a fan, so I grew up hearing the Carpenters (mostly around Christmas—her "Merry Christmas Darling") is one of the great holiday ballads). I firmly consider Karen to be one of the best vocalists in 20th century pop music. I know the Carpenters were considered

"The show removes the political circumstances of white privilege, supremacy, and police violence by making Poussey’s murderer one of the good guys in a sea of bad guys."

I saw some porn in the ruins of Pompeii.

What? Why is this buried at the bottom of the page?

This cracks me up to no end. Farewell, sweet David. May you forever have fish to point at, pig heads to fuck, cats to outlast you at Downing Street, and when you think of all these poor creatures, may they constantly remind you that they themselves would probably make a better prime minister than you.

I've been pretty down on Outlander, but I really enjoyed this episode on the whole. I was excited to see the time traveling element brought back in, as we knew it would be—it was a huge jolt of energy to the plot.

I liked Claie's '68 hair and makeup. It was Streisand-esque in the best possible way.

To be fair, he also wanted to keep her from pursuing her passions and education…he said something like, "Why not learn to type and just be a secretary if she's so bored?" Which doesn't justify murder, of course, but there was a bit more being hinted at there than just a sad fellow pining.

It was a thankless role, but I didn't think much of her acting, either. Any scene with just her and Claire together was borderline unwatchable…especially the "IT WAS MORE THAN FUCKING" screaming match.

The entire show, really.

Doesn't Myles always say how much he hates Healy and his backstory? I don't see how he can be opposed to fleshing out Healy but in favor of fleshing out Piscatella, who turns out to be the far worse person in my opinion.

Yeah, that scene where he's drunk in the pub was amazing…those animal grunts he would utter, as though he was a grizzly just coming out of hibernation, and you could read the intensity of his thoughts on his face like a book. You could feel the threat to Claire—confronting Black Jack Randall when he's probably 4 or 5

I think the better solution if your outlook is similar to that of Mr. Herpes is to find someone who's open to an open relationship.

At least it wasn't Blink 182…

From what I'm reading, he only fired one shot, but at least 20 were injured from him releasing tear gas into a cinema complex.

That, plus I think she thought she wouldn't be getting out of max for a very long time, so she just said fuck it.

Now you might not want me to sit next to you anymore, because Jamie really doesn't do it for me. Not my type; his features are too feminine, and something about his eyebrows reminds me of Carrot Top. I find Tobias Menzies much more attractive, honestly. Obviously not the character of Jack Randall, but I sure wouldn't

Yeah, I know Fergus was raped in the book. It's been mentioned about fifty times by commenters. That doesn't mean they have to show Black Jack thrusting into him. I really think that's crossing the line of what should be legally allowed to be depicted on screen. It was horrifying enough just knowing it happened.

This is a real, honest to goodness spoiler…even for me, and I'm an episode ahead of the reviews.
