He was hoping for the laptop password? He felt like it would humiliate Sherlock, and he likes humiliating people? *waves hands* something like that.

I'm kind of hoping that the "real reveal" about how Sherlock survived Reichenbach is explored as they try to explain Moriarty's "survival"/resurgence.

A British general lost a laptop containing top secret information not long ago; I felt like that was a callback to news events. In any case, we never actually knew what Mycroft carried around on his laptop.

Which is what I thought Sherlock was going to try to do with the drugs thing.

I had my issues with the episode, but I do think you're overstating or missing these particular points and being too hard on it.

I'd be pretty jazzed about any of these movies if there were an Ian Malcom/Cubert just constantly bitching about the ridiculous science on display. "That's not… uh… not how radiation works."

We need a different and more important advice column on how to arrange this in a relationship. There are lots of possible models for solving the problem of mutually agreeing on financial priorities, sticking to them, etc. I wish I'd been more thoughtful about this in the course of my marriage.

Sorry for being less clear than I could have. My point is that the inability or unwillingness of law enforcement to investigate cases of rape means that, from the perspective of objective data, you can't really make statements like "false accusations of rape are exceedingly rare" or "Women are at a much higher risk…

Which, even if they don't, is still a conscious decision. In other words, there's no such thing as just "my pocket" or "the kitty", the pocket's depth and kitty's capacity are things the couple decides anyway.

Participating in AV Club commenting is a good way to avoid causing any ladyboners.

I have the same aversion to "sexy time" and "sexy times" which seems common among the younger nerdier set.

It's probably kind of unusual to be not interested in it at least as something to be curious about. Something like 10% of people are interested in it as something to do, so that's not rare at all.

Relative to how often it's "reported" (in some way, to someone, at least to the extent of involving someone from an official service agency) sexual assault is infrequently investigated and prosecuted. This doesn't have anything to do with whether the report is "false." "False" reports and "true" reports are both…

I don't want to reply to most of your message, but I just wanted to point out a point about Boy Scouts: Boy Scouts of America has had for some time a youth protection policy which requires at least two adult leaders be present.

Being able to agree on financial priorities and stick to them, while making sure individual priorities are taken care of, is a huge plank of a successful relationship. This is a small special case of that larger problem. It's exactly the same problem if he sees a therapist, goes to school to pursue his interests,…

I don't think it is specific to D/s, I think it happens in non-BDSM sex lives, and the BDSM version is just more exaggerated and obvious. I think it's common for someone to want their partner to initiate and lead, to feel like the one who's being pursued, who's irresistible; and to not want that all the time—to also…

My son is high on Daleks right now, he's seen most of the new show and a fair amount of classic episodes. He really liked The Daleks and Genesis of the Daleks. Given the difference in pacing and how used he is to the noise and bang of the new show, I didn't anticipate that.

I was the same, I eventually read them. They're good, you'll enjoy them, but not great.

Conan asked this exact question of Nancy Cartwright, of all people, about doing Bart's voice when fucking her husband. It was maybe a 5/10 awkward when he asked in the interview, and then a 10/10 later, when I really thought about what he was saying.

I agree that they have some space to get rid of marginally-invested characters and give some angst in return. Ming-Na's return to "combat duty" makes Caliber Groinrock redundant. Skye has a role but they should have developed her anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. agenda and duplicitousness (and still could, actually). I don't think…
