You're right. I did notice how that kept happening every time I went to one in college.

I didn't watch the previous 2 seasons specifically because I assumed it was going to be disappointing. I decided to watch the pilot because I was intrigued by the premise and the fact that the cast was mainly women.

Yes. Exactly. Thank you for articulating this properly.

The name issue was totally my B. BUT there are definitely other stories in which people have been asked to sympathize with a murderer after something terrible has been done to them. For example, Carrie murdered an entire school after they convinced the popular guy to take her to prom, then nominated her for prom…

Yeah. I think that's the issue. That the entire point was to rape her so that she has to do something violent in retaliation. And she manages to shake off the drugs, which usually keep you under for WAAAY longer, conveniently after she was raped, even though the raping happened about 5 minutes prior. When he could've…

I think the issue is of having the gang rape there at all. There were lots of other ways to put Zoey in a violent dangerous situation that didn't involve penetrating her several times. Also, she wasn't unconscious. She was awake but without use of her faculties. And there are other shows where someone's powers, when…

The definition of gratuitous as given by google: uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted.

Because the thing we really needed was the gang rape of one of the main characters. And despite her having super powers the roofies totally prevented her from exacting her revenge BEFORE any rapage happened. Absolutely freakin' gratuitous.

Yeah you can definitely have flirty chemistry with friends. That's totally ok. And I think maybe if it developed naturally and organically I can be on board. Like with Fringe. But I definitely don't want to see any ham-fisted forcing from the writers. Right now their friendly banter and teasing is cute and I like it.…

I'm still hardcore for Ichabod and Katrina. I'm sick of the compulsive male lead and female lead are forced to team up and eventually fall in love plot.

On a personal and selfish note, apparently the moment I start to think someone's attractive and/or charming they die a horrible violent death. Good-bye Frank Capone. My appreciation for you lasted about half a season. ::sigh::

I actually screamed when Ron Glass appeared. Just totally lost my shit.

Nooooo!!! But Ed Skrein was so pretty!

I loved that. I thought she was going to just stop at the pepper spray but then she pulled out the taser. She does not mess around.

Gawker did a fun little piece about how everyone thought Heath Ledger would be a shit Joker. And then proceeded to display several of the comments people made. So you know. I'll reserve judgement until I see the actual film.

well that was deeply unsatisfying.

Zeo Saldana as Eagleton Anne.

Yeah it's not about smearing Mandela's reputation or disrespecting either of them, although her history is QUITE interesting. It's about portraying history and there was some pretty uncomfortable history in there. Biographical movies should get to the heart of the individual, warts and all, and it would be…

@avclub-7b854e1c9778aa8ff839837766cf71d3:disqus Yeah I find the whole, "he really wasn't a great guy because he did this this and this" to be an argument often used and almost always done in poor taste. You could do the same for Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Winston Churchill. And like you said, people are…
