"Tired of Sex" is my favorite off of Pinkerton. For an album that everyone seems to remember as more introspective and "dark," it blows the fucking doors off with its opening track.

I KNEW he was going to have to leave them by the end of the episode! It HAD to happen, I was SURE of it! And then at some point I got caught up in all the other stuff, and when Ben said "oh no" I laughed like an idiot. It took me by surprise while being totally predictable.

If we nationalize his rock, we would be promoting socialism and discouraging other people from putting in the effort necessary to look for cavity-repellant rocks- why try looking if the government's just going to take it away?

Jinora's thing was fairly clearly a sort of "I will add my spiritual power to yours!" situations that you get in various anime and videogames. She's already very accomplished at the spiritual stuff, so I think that she gave Korra an energy infusion at just the right moment.

The fact that you're able to draw all of that out of what we saw of him, and that I'm able to recognize all those qualities in his character, suggests that they did a pretty good job packing in the characterization around the edges of the story.

I think it's actually a wonderful call for pluralism that's more relevant than ever today. Capra initially made the movie because he felt postwar migration to the city was killing the American small town. The movie seems to be saying "yeah, you can move out of your small, uninteresting town and move to an area where…

It's official: The PTC supports bear asses on television.

Yeah, didn't the movie become popular in the first place because Paramount let the copyright lapse, so TV stations started playing it over the holiday season as a vaguely Christmas-themed movie that they didn't have to pay anything for?

Well, the CSI shows, SVU, and NCIS all have pretty diverse casts, so your argument seems to hold water.

It's not troubling, it just strikes me as nonsensical. The race argument seems to imply that, if the show had the same script, the same characters, the same backstory, the same direction, the same performances, but two or more of the performers belonged to an identifiable non-white racial group, the show would…

Again, even if I granted you the assumption that the goal of a TV show is to reflect the reality of "the world," that would still be pretty far down the list. Whedon's casts are pretty goddamned a whole bunch of things that the world isn't: pretty goddamned American, pretty goddamned upper class, pretty goddamned…

Yeah, it was a bad joke, though it was brought on more by the incessant ads I see for Galaxy than anything else. If Samsung can afford to make me watch an ad every 3 minutes no matter what channel I'm on, they might as well fund a sleeper cell of internet commenters who become respected members of an online community…

When Adam Pally started to fast-walk away from the black politician and said "my bad, that's a totally different guy," I thought it was the last scene of the show, and burst out laughing. It was the funniest ending I'd ever seen this show do. Then I looked at the clock and saw there were five minutes left, and I got…

If we're talking about Chris Hemsworth, I'll allow it.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS COULSON IS A DOLL

I thought everyone called it "The Battle of New York."

I rode a horse today :)

Hmm… that comment was meant to be sarcastic. I genuinely can't wrap my head around the reasoning of people who think that the race of the characters would do anything to affect the quality of the show. I mean, if there was a big muscly charisma-free guy who was Inuit or Polynesian, people would probably be less…

Coulson's government salary doesn't pay him enough to fund a decent pen collection. On the other hand, the health plan is great.

Excuse me, can we get some sunlight and a 3rd-grade science fair contestant with some classical music in here, because I think we've found a plant.
