SPOILERS I think subverting the "virgin gets to live" thing was great.  It upends the idea that girls who don't are pure, and those that do are bad.  Especially funny is that the "virgin" is involved with a professor, which is fairly illicit, while the "whore" is in a real relationship.  There was an implicit message…

If I hadn't known that The Avengers was a Whedon film, I would never have guessed.  I thought it was a solid ensemble superhero action film, much more successful than many of the genre.  The main Whedon elements were quippy dialogue and a well developed ensemble where female characters get decent history and…

Agreed, Scruffylove.  Maybe by "girlfriend vision" they mean the woman puts her hands over the man's eyes?  I've had a stronger stomach than most of my boyfriends when it comes to horror movies.  To be blunt, I think women get a lot more comfortable with blood thanks to menstruation.  It just doesn't bother me or most…

I don't think the issue is that they're prioritizing their baby.  The group has been pretty understanding of that.  The issue is that they took it to such a degree that they no longer know anything about their friends due to basically saying "we won't listen to your problems."  That's pretty unkind.

I might be weird, but the moment where Pierce said "Ive always wanted a brother" and hugged his former nemesis was very poignant to me.  Pierce doesn't get many emotional moments, and he's generally shown to be racist and culturally insensitive.  When he embraced his half brother, who happened to be mixed race, with…

I'm also sort of rooting for Jeff/Annie.  While their actual age difference is a bit squicky, their emotional age is pretty level.  Jeff is an eloquent man-child.  They both need to grow up.  We'll see if it happens.  I have a lot of faith in this show, and I think if it gets the chance to play out, it will be…

People have different approaches to environmentalism.  Some people make it a priority to be environmentally friendly in their daily lives (vegetarianism, recycling, fair-trade coffee, biodegradable diapers, whatever), and some people believe that small steps are fine, but don't make a big difference in the grand…
