The impressions I've been getting are more pity and second-hand embarrassment, but considering her fanbase still primarily consists of tweens and younger, I imagine we'll be hearing more outraged reactions the new few days.

Are you saying that people like Korra even though she's a strong character, or that people dislike her because she's obnoxious, not cause she's strong? Because the latter is the true one in my experience.

I don't know if it's improved from previous FYFs, but try to nab one of their free bandanas to help with the dust.

But the movie is about how problematic it is for him to project his MPDG-type fantasies onto her, ignoring the very clear warnings that, surprise, she's her own person, and not just a means for him to find fulfillment in life. The movie explicitly states that he's acting self-centered, and that she's in the right.…

Yeah, I never got that she was actually trying to kill her. Just freak her out.

Hannibal's season has already ended. There's nothing else to look forward to this year.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I'm probably the Piper in my social circle, and apparently (judging by how other people view Piper, since I actually really like her) bug the shit out of them all the time. So now I spend my time on the Internet defending her, because of projection issues.

She was a kid! Kids do stupid things. Doesn't mean they should be punished for the rest of their lives for it.

Also, the scene where she's arrested mirrors the child flashback one. There's a boy running after her, except this time she slows down to let him catch-up — and because of this she's caught, since she very clearly would have been much further away if she had been running at full speed. Focusing on herself/running is…

That's how I interpreted it too. The robbery was the initial arrest that led to her losing her scholarship, and she hasn't been able to recover since.

I hadn't thought of Myles' interpretation, so I'm gonna have to rewatch the scene (esp since I appear to be in the minority).

I believe puppy/service dog training programs are relatively popular in prisons as a means of rehabilitating prisoners, hence why Big Boo has that adorable dog. And they mention the puppy program very briefly in the first episode I think.

I agree, I think what really makes this movie is the performances. I didn't notice anything bad about Watson's performance, but maybe it's cause I was focusing on the ones that I did enjoy, such as Miller and Whitman's. The only other thing that really sticks out for me is the ending monologue, with the segue into…

Regarding your first point: Three? I can only think of two who develop feelings for him, one who quite clearly had at most a crush on him which didn't even really seem to have much to do with him at all, just the idea of him (and she got over the crush pretty quickly). And he's not exactly bad looking either —…

I hate hate HATE the book. I only went to see the movie because my girlfriend wanted to, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I think a lot of people assume that they'll dislike it, and read things into the movie that justify their complaints. Not saying that everyone does this, but it's obvious a…

I also thought about it some more, and this is probably a discussion that's better served in later recaps, but I'm having difficulty seeing why people think Piper is more selfish than Red, Sophia, or even Nicky (all whom I adore).

Yeah, it makes me a little sad that so many people dislike Piper, partly because I really identify with her, and partly because I don't think Taylor Schilling is getting enough credit for what tremendous work she's doing.

I unconsciously made a "wtf" face, and a co-worker walking by asked if I was ok. Thank you for the excerpt.

Damnit y'all — I am one of those people who kept meaning to watch it, since it kept getting such rave reviews, but never got around to it. :( I'M SORRY!
