@zeppomarxist: so why are you commenting on a show you never watch (as opposed to the rest of us, who keep watching and then kicking ourselves for doing so)?

I should have done the research before commenting, my bad.

I thought Deb was older than Dexter

Or they came up with the idea when they were still married, and now that they're divorced, it's too late to change it. It'll be interesting how the weird chemistry of not-biological-but-still-creepy sibling lust between the characters (at least one way) plays with the weird chemistry of ex-spouses as current…

and yet see allisonbrie's post just below yours which successfully negates every one of your points. nice try tho

It's a sad state of affairs when a show about a serial killer requires a "gritty reboot"

Princess Leia has had ECT to treat her bipolar disorder, and enthusiastically recommends it ("DO IT!")

I first saw her in Freeway - a really twisted piece of work. About the furthest thing from Legally Blonde as you (or I, anyway) can imagine.

I loved the punch line to that scene - when he gets into the limo, apologizes to his wife for the delay, and she says "it was quicker than I expected" (or something close to that).

Mad Dog Time

I liked Somersby, mainly because I like fables of the reconstruction, and Judge James Earl Jones.  I guess I'll have to see this Matin Guerre flick.

I thought the ending of Somersby was on-the-whole happy, though of course it ended badly for the title character.  For a racially integrated, mutually prosperous new South to exist, both the man he originally was and the man he was pretending to be had to die.  And so he did.  The very last shot is the town being…

I watched it and then read the comments, and learned that he fronts a Christian rock group called "Downhere".  They're actually pretty good.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Nancy is everything that Jill and Heylia say about her - in sum, thoroughly unlikeable. But (because she's Mary Louise-Parker) she's got those eyes and that smile and … well, I think she's sexy as hell.

I wonder, are there any musical groups that have been recording and performing, continuously, without a breakup or change in lineup or even a bad word between them, for as long as Weird Al's band?  Ever?

The Christian fundies who complain about how Islam oppresses women, and then proceed to oppress women (& gays &c.) themselves, are evil and hypocritical.

As an agnostic / atheist who is pretty sure that my soul / essence / whatever you want to call what makes me "me" really is the result of natural processes occurring in my body (mainly brain), and that death, being the cessation of those processes, means the actual, final and eternal death of "me" … I agree.  I don't…

To be fair, a "martyr complex" is not unexpected in a religion whose deity was a martyr.

There's a number of possible sciencey explanations.  I'm more inclined to believe any of them than a supernatural one.  But as for actual knowledge, I have no real basis to choose one over another.

No, her original stage name was Mr. Pink, after Steve Buscemi's character in Reservoir Dogs.  When she signed, one of the conditions was to drop the "Mr." as that was deemed confusing.  (Thank you VH1)
