"but are zippers a greater peril to our nation’s youth than the mildly
revealing dancing-girl outfits that Debra Messing feared last week?"

I'm kind of unwillingly interested to see what Ivy's personality is without Gretchen around to glom onto. I mean, I'm 98% sure it's awful, but still.

I have no idea. Maybe they yoinked the systematic beheading and extra poisony poison from the Lernaean Hydra? This isn't really one I know lots about (honestly, the last time I think I used it was pointing out that JK Rowling had referenced it — a female nāga is a nāgi…

They sort of explained it when they said he was a nāga.  (I don't remember if they actually explained what a nāga is though.) Nāga are seven-headed serpents in several traditions, as well as the enemy of Garuda. It wasn't so much that he had to die but that they had to cut off a head to get the venom — he was just…

@avclub-32b63dd70d870580128d83e930199e1c:disqus Ooh, so close. He's not Dobby, he's Nobby Nobbs. Weirdly able to get along with everyone, terrified of responsibility or having his actions noticed by the cops (even while working as one), somehow manages to be both a cynic and a romantic, unusual hobbies, you can trust…

I think they made it as believable as they could: Collins isn't FBI, he's Office of International Affairs (who deal with the Attorney General and senior DOJ officials, an OIA attorney is general counsel to the U.S. Interpol office — I can buy that Interpol would care about someone convicted of bond forgery).

On the show or in the books? In the latter, there's just a pretty ordinary strip club in Monroe that Claude owns and performs in one night a week. I don't even think it had all that many fairy employees until they started using it as home base for the fae exiles. But since I personally want to hit bookClaude with a…

Can't believe that I'm about to admit to knowing this, but in the books there was a fairy war between the sky fae and the water fae, complicated by one of the pure fairies who was leading a charge to kill all the fairy/human hybrids.  Fairy birthrates have been dropping for ages (part of why vampire predation is such…

"I’m a bit unclear on the pronunciation of “lich” since the way the
characters say the word in this episode differs from how I heard it in Warcraft III back when I consistently played PC games."

I'm pretty sure that's the assistant who killed herself in the last episode.

There's a solid chunk of the audience who once admitted to liking the show online, content to point out that every fandom has its outlying weirdos, but eventually the sheer extent of the insanity broke them down until they ran screaming from anything involving other fans. This generally occurred sometime between…
