I mean, they're all divorced from certain experiences - as soon as Maura was like, 'oh, maybe we should sell this house for 10 million dollars', there was a part of me that was like 'how do these people have any problems', which I know isn't a real criticism, since I watch Mad Men, but, you know.

There are still few enough representations of trans people beyond stereotypical 'trans hooker character' like in Ray Donovan that they'll all get compared. And as much as they are different, the fact that, as a trans person, one is really a great deal more progressive and interesting and true to my experiences mean I

I just want to pipe in to say that Sense8 has its trans woman character played by an actual trans actress, written and directed by a trans woman film-maker, and Sense8 also basically gives that character an equivalent amount of screentime as this show since Transparent's focus is also spread across an entire family.

Plus, Simms and Harmon sucked each others' dicks at a party once. They weren't gay or anything though, it was mainly for the attention. Show business!

That's second person.

They should replace David Diamond and David Weissman with David Benioff and Dan Weiss, then it can end in the cathartic bloodbath we've all been waiting for.

I confused Iggy Azalea with Azealia Banks.

I want to point out here that Shel Silverstein wrote an absolutely insane sequel to 'A Boy Named Sue' called 'The Father of a Boy Named Sue' where he reveals that the Johnny Cash character is some kind of transsexual who ends up as his father's rapey incestuous new daughter-wife.

The fact that Steve Brule seems to be an eternal passion project for him speaks volumes.

It's unfortunate. In the books (ugh I hate that this is who I am in these threads) he's holocaust-survivor thin, his hair's gone white, and overall he looks so destroyed his own sister has trouble recognizing him. I mean, I guess you can't keep Alfie Allen Machinist-skinny for the length of a television season, but

WARNING I'M ABOUT TO SAY SOME NON-SPOILERY BACKSTORY STUFF FROM THE BOOKS THAT IS NOT A SPOILER IN ANY FASHION BUT IF YOU'RE SUPER-SENSITIVE YOU CAN STILL BAIL NOW

Finally those capitalist bastards will get what's coming to them, eh, comrades? Eh?

That isn't progressive in any era. The idea that the woman is the master of the domestic while the man is the master of the public and they ought to work in a harmony where the man is dominant, but as a gentle patriarch, is the foundation of Western gender roles.

Well, now all my Chilton slashfic just looks foolish.

Hannibal just likes killing any recurring female characters who demonstrate the threat of having agency (Abigail, Forensics lady, Fishburne's wife (pending)* ). I'm talking about carnage against characters who matter, or do things.

Dude, until Hannibal murders Will Graham and sows Winston's head onto his shoulders and parades it around, GoT will still be way ahead in the carnage department. Or puts his head on a pike and forces Alana Bloom to look. Either/or.

In that still Underwood looks like he just caught sight of a pie he intends to steal.

I think you're looking for Eric Andre's show.

So, diamonds, body parts, or nothing?
