I think it's just different strokes for different folks. I like seeing a well written gay character or recognizable situation regardless of who is playing the character and who wrote it. Other people are more interested in the actual production being 'ethical' in terms of its identity politics.

Titus as a character seems to be playing with the gay best friend in general. He tends to have a more defined inner land a greater propensity to set his own goals and to set out to achieve them. Plus he's not part of the emerging trend of erasure around camp or effeminate gay men. Titus is cool because he's gay, he…

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I think it's total bullshit. I'm gay as butt heck so I've spent my entire adult life grappling with passing and the fact that no one even has to look a certain way in order to portray my specific minority experience.

The one thing apparently missing fro the source comic are her secondary characters. Her equivalent of Wallace, for instance, is a gay were-dog. Here, outside of the lead, the show feels lame. :/

"Everyone here is a fart! A living fart from the butt of a lesser god!"

I haven't been commuting lately, and I always listened to Q on the commute— How is he? The couple I've heard are pretty good.

I haven't read The Inconvenient Indian, but I do really like Thomas King so I'm kinda hoping it wins.

Billy Graham is like the singularity of lame palatable evangelism. He's a black hole of squareness. Going full on snake-handler crazy would at least be cool. Having Johnny Cash's fucked up Jacob-style relationship with God would at least be cool.

One-on-ones with Billy Graham religious. Not too far out of the mainstream, but still kinda… weird.

Well, based on the fact that the journal's from his final days… didn't he get really weirdly religious near the end of his life?

The episode would have been much better if they'd just adapted John Hodgman's Cuervo Man story.

Sally Forth and Pearls Before Swine are both p. good, though obviously it's basically a different medium from Watterson's strips. Like comparing single and multi camera sitcoms.

Neil kills himself because his father is abusive. Mary dies because Ms. Brodie convinces her to travel to Spain in order to join a fascist militia.

I'm pretty sure the mention was a joke. Because, like, Kimmy doesn't know what Netflix is.

Karen Gillan should show up in Season 2 as the actress who plays Kimmy in the inevitable lifetime film.

A lot of people find them overly didactic and not really that funny. Also they're really strident about swatting down libertarianism, and a huge number of nerds are libertarians or are just tired of libertarianism period.

Colour of Magic is a terrible place to start because it's a parody of what was then the zeitgeist in fantasy literature: a lot of cod-conan with pseudo-lovecraft around the edges. It and the other Rincewind books are unfortunately much the same.

The thing about Discworld is that there's a lot of series within it that form links in terms of theme and continuity.

Sorta.

See, I'd see it ending right before GTA III is unveiled, like how An Adventure in Space and Time ended just before Patrick Troughton formally takes over the show. That kind of epoch-shift makes sense for an ending, and focusing on the earlier games seems more in the spirit of the scrappy bunch of young coders who've…
