HIMYM is the only show I've ever watched that made me feel this way. I've seen a bunch of the earlier episodes SO many times but I don't think I'll ever be able to watch it again. It sounds so dramatic, but the bad taste of the finale was really THAT bad.

I'm not sure current day TWD would even bother with that. Spencer, we hardly knew ye!

I hope this doesn't mean Sasha is going to get killed off. Have they bothered to develop her character? Nope, not at all. But I'm still liking her new friendship with Maggie.

I used Uber infrequently but had fine enough experiences to keep me coming back—until I had a driver offer $50 for me and my (male) co-passenger to have sex in the backseat while the driver stood outside and waited.

Good for her for negotiating for what she deserves. This has nothing to do with the pay thing, but Macy's character has been the soul-sucking black pit of awfulness dragging down the show for about four years now (and probably longer than that, though the season four finale is where I think he truly outlived his

On the one hand, this makes me afraid for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, because I don't like the CW suddenly getting the idea that they should just start canceling things with low ratings. But on the other hand, I'm just going to pretend that it will help Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by giving the CW more space in its schedule.

I'm not going to say I "loved" that plot point for obvious reasons, but I so deeply appreciated how well done it was, not just for the complexity of the storytelling but because it was actually necessary for our understanding of Philip's character, his relationship with Elizabeth, and the arc of the show as a whole.

The Americans is especially amazing because it hits all of the tropes that are usually red flags (rape as backstory, rape of a woman as a motivating factor for the male lead) but treats them with nuance and integrates them so well into the show's overall thematic storytelling that I just feel sad for all of the other

I'm about a season behind on The Flash and two seasons behind on Arrow (Supergirl is on my "eventually" list), but I just started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and if their success can keep that on the air, I will pray for them day and night.

The Walking Dead is a pretty bad show but the main character is a white man in a relationship with a black woman. The viewership of TWD had a complete meltdown when that happened, of course, but it is nice to see on a show that's such a huge hit.

I like how she goes for the least offensive epithets that Trevor Noah could be called by her fans (I'm sure nobody would call him something worse than a jerk! I've never heard of such depravity from the innocent right!) But she uses "bitch" and "c*nt" for what Noah's evil leftist fans have been calling her. I suppose

Negan is just so unbelievably fucking stupid. I am a pretty big TWD defender even though I know that it's a pretty shitty show (I'm one of like two Koral defenders on the internet) but Negan is just laughably dumb. Maybe it's the writing bringing him down but JDM is just…bad. I can't believe we've got at least another

From the comment history: "NYC is full of self righteous activists foaming at the mouth to make it look like Trump is the new Hitler. Hate crime hoaxes are a dime a dozen in the new era of Social Justice."

I use Gary Stu mostly because in the past, using Mary Sue to refer to a male character gets a lot of "Whaaaaaaa? But that's a lady term!!!" responses that I am too lazy to deal with.

Yeah, that's why the unrealistic perfection of Kvothe ultimately doesn't bother me that much, because I think Rothfuss has done a good job of establishing that it's an unreliable narrator kind of situation, and Kvothe loses just often enough that it doesn't completely enrage me. The fairy sex just really drove me up

I like the books because I think they have really compelling world-building and I generally like Kvothe even though he is kind of the ultra Gary Stu, and I could even deal with the unabashedly terrible depiction of female characters…right up until the fairy magic land sex romp that happens in The Wise Man's Fear. That

Isn't there an anime adaptation? Or am I just making that shit up?

I was a huge Anne of Green Gables fan as a kid and I had no idea that it was such a Canadian cultural touchstone until many years later when a Canadian friend reverently showed me the miniseries adaptation from the eighties.

The original review had the name of the person who died in HTGAWM. It was just like, "Oh yeah, and this is who died over there tonight. Weird, huh?" It's been edited to make it much more vague.

Thank you!
