Did they know she had 3 though? I thought the lie about only having one actually took. Not that that means what you're saying is wrong, because it is very true, it would be a scandal. But I think that it might help (in some small way) if every single female character on TV didn't have to put up some big struggle with…

. . . . . Some BODY once told me

I hear the weather there is lovely this time of year.

It's because even in this day and age, writers think that a female character who doesn't want to have children is going to be seen as wholly unlikable and unrelatable. Even though (from what I understand) it's becoming more and more common for people to either wait to have kids or decide not to have them at all. As if…

Same, except my dad was in the Air Force. I mean, maybe she has to sneak around or thinks she does because she's a female vet, but I still don't buy it.

Oh, that's definitely true. This season is a big improvement in that regard. But for me personally, I still felt as though her plot ended up being aimless and poorly laid out, similar to her last one. She gets more chances to do better things, and does them well, but it sort of gets buried under all the other subplots…

Yeah, you'd think someone who passed boot camp (or whatever the equivalent for whatever branch of service she was in is, I'm not sure they ever even said which it was because her military service is at once her one defining trait and rushed past with reckless abandon by the narrative, but that's not the point) would…

But will replacing that plot with a personal and topical subject like rape end up being less amorphous and dull?

I find the phrasing "Claire's raping" funny, if only because she totally did rape somebody last season. Anyways, the thing that irritates me is that before that point, there had never really been even any sort of alluding to a dark secret she had or anything of the sort. You can really tell that it's just a hack idea…

We call that a "joke" on this planet.

Certainly former members of the military, if anyone at all. Eh, it's just another clumsily handled moment of character non-development.

The Screen Actors Guild has long considered allowing small rodent membership, but the movers and shakers in the guinea pig old-money Hollywood families (To say nothing of the capybara cabal that really gets things done) have left the SAG lukewarm on the idea in recent years.

Another day, another Hatesong about a song that sucks because it's popular. Okay.

I was about to ask about that story. Then again, maybe that guy just told an incredibly ballsy lie.

I didn't realize that there were entire scenes from the movie Airplane! that I had never seen until a few years ago when I watched it on Netflix. That was a treat.

No wonder Russian Roulette didn't really work out for them

Frankly, Kid Rock could release a string of unassailable, genre-defying classics for the next four decades and I still wouldn't forgive him for every time I've been subjected to hearing "All Summer Long."

I figured a country artist would represent my humble home, but I was hoping it would be one with a little more gravitas than Mr. Chesney.

Two humanoids enter, no humanoids leave.

You don't really get a lot of people these days making dramas with intense racial themes into weekly procedurals like that. I guess that the main character from "12 Years a Slave" could get a show where he becomes a bounty hunter or something, though.
