Psst—harebrained.

I love reading negative Ignatiy reviews. All of his insults are specific, hilarious, accurate, and devastating.

I want you to know that I downvoted this comment not because I disapprove, but to return this whole exchange to its rightful order.

Wait, do we measure this based on who died when we were born or 9 months before? For me this is the difference between a Buddhist monk and an SS officer, so…

I think I made it halfway through episode 7. It just wasn't at all interesting.

I always used to find myself automatically responding to senseless tragedy this way. Maybe the guy who died in that freak accident was a rapist! Now I don't have to feel sad! Haha, karma! I've had to train myself not to do that anymore, and just accept that there's no rationalization of an uncaring, violent, random…

What incredible comfort to all those who have lost loved ones. Yeah, those pallet stairs led directly to their agonized deaths, but did you know they looked fucking rad?

This is the key thing.

Seriously. If this is his attitude toward acting, why not actually kill Donald Sutherland to make his death scene in 1900 "more realistic"? (Answer: Donald Sutherland is a man.)

Flyover country, amirite?!

People who imagine themselves into the scene of a tragedy (shooting, earthquake, 9/11, fire, what-the-fuck-ever) and declare the obvious logical steps they would have taken to save themselves and everyone else are the worst kind of people.

Good point, well-reasoned. Who needs staircases anyway? Jumping out the window gets you down just as well!

The Titanic WASN'T following regulations. (Or else the regulations were terribly insufficient, I don't remember exactly.) Events like the Titanic sinking, the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, etc. are how regulations develop and improve.

I understand people's day-to-day annoyance with bureaucracy, but things like this are a reminder of how these kind of byzantine, seemingly arbitrary regulations develop. Building codes, fire safety codes, citations, etc.—these things all exist for a reason.

That bothered me the whole episode, too. In terms of setup, they are remarkably similar situations. The show handled them differently enough that it didn't feel like they were repeating themselves, but a mention of Jake's experience would have been nice.

They're all Hufflepuffs.

I once had a TA who introduced herself as being from "Nuh-vaaaaaaah-duh," and I laughed because I thought she was joking. Apparently she wasn't. Awkward section.

I got really annoyed with the writers for what they did to Claudia in this episode. She seemed perfectly competent before, and now she's the least professional therapist ever?

No, babe.

Yeah, Paris is a lot of fun to watch, but her personality flaws are all of my most despised traits (arrogance, condescension, ruthless disregard for people's feelings while clawing to the top of the heap). And of course Emily makes all kind of unnecessarily cruel remarks, like the whole "roommate" issue. That said,…
