No, no, I agree here.  There is an legitimate 'overintimate' issue here that too many people scoff at as "nah, anatomically it's fine'.

Haven't gotten to Bug's Life yet, but my god, good as it is, Looking glass should have a "Do NOT watch while drunk or coming down from a buzz" disclaimer.  Red Moya had me dry retching, and then blue Moya shot me straight into a hangover.

Yeah, the sudden realization (for me) that Arkady is awesome was one of the most surprising elements of the ep for me.  Even two weeks ago, I never would have guessed that I'd be on the verge of fist pumping as he spray painted cars.

Also so nice to see an old-fashioned, properly shot car chase, framed so you could actually see what was going on and who was chasing who.  I've gotten so sick of Hollywood chases filmed from three inches behind someone's bumper, trading away coherence to be visceral.

I think you're right, K. Thrace.  I had a student chem teacher who didn't notice she lit her lab coat on fire.  When we tried to tell her, she cut us off and yelled at us for speaking without raising our hands.

I'm glad you brought up the body language and movement, because I half thought I imagined it.  At one point I said to myself "No, your eyes are deceiving you, because your mind is in the gutter.  No one delivers important dialogue while doing a zombie crotch-lurch."

Yeah, my reaction was pretty much in line with yours.  I was braced for this to be truly horrible, then was pleasantly surprised when it attained "meh".

I'll half-defend the Sheridan abduction plot.  While it isn't especially engaging or original while it's happening, it does demonstrate the number of people on B5 (Command staff, Delenn, old buddies on Agamemnon) who have his back.  And that, in turn, justifies his bringing them on the Anti-Clarke stuff.

It's a very small guest role, but kinda awesome as I recall.

At the risk of wild generalization, for a teenage boy's "dream woman", X the Anonymous is right, would have larger boobs.  They'll certainly enjoy any cup sizes as they can get, and as they grow into men their tastes may change, but at that age, the male libido isn't wired for subtlety.

My guess is the breach of contract has to do with the unpaid salary, etc., and the other stuff is just there as a bonus to burn him in the court of public opinion.

Get that treated by a reputable doctor.

I'd be okay with it, but the country at large would never go for it.  Too much knee-jerk suspicion/paranoia about government overreach.

@avclub-beac60e274e63c64612fdcff2058af27:disqus I could maybe get behind that, if it was limited to "grown-up" program blocks, i.e., if your show is on late enough to show boobs, you can air cigarette comercials.

Glad to hear it scruffy!

Yeah, I'm not going to tell you not to worry, because of course you should be worried, but odds are it's just a matter of cell service being shut down.  It may take a long time for people on the scene to get in touch with anyone.

Green Line (the main mass transit in that area of town) is closed down, so it may take a while for even the safe runners/spectators to work their way to where they can contact loved ones.

"* Between "Rhapsody in Blue" and "That Old Black Magic", the biggest
problem with Zhaan's stories is they feel frustratingly opaque, full of
characters talking about tremendously vague powers with almost
arbitrarily negative psychological impact, and an emphasis on levels
that sounds more like D&D than advancement in…

No, that bugged me too.  The fact that they left her there tied bothered me more than the flatness of the gag.

This is where you notice that the snowball isn't just rolling down the mountain, it's also picking up more snow as it goes.  You still don't know where the plot is going, but there's an unavoidable sense that it's going to get bigger and bigger and swallow everything in it's path.
