It makes me wonder why ZMF isn't all over these comments

Ashur is Glaber's indispensable special-teams man, and a man after his own twisted heart. Glaber probably knows all about Ashur's "relationship" with Lucretia, and enjoys it.

Then again they made a big deal of Ace carrying a voice recorder (I think it's digital, not tape), he and DiRossi have a big blow-up in the pilot about it. It hasn't featured at all since then, so I'm thinking it's Chekhov's voice recorder.

I'd been saying that for years before Deadwood, it was fun seeing one of my odd expressions spoken on TV

That line was devastating, after all of her development with, and for, him.  Ouch.

Spartacus very deliberately waited to break cover and head to Crixus' rescue, even though Crixus was in a very tough spot, until he saw the stadium begin to collapse, because only something that cataclysmic would provide the necessary diversion and chaos for a couple of guys to pull off that kind of rescue in the…

That's what I'm here for

All of the above

Speaking for myself - yes.

Dating is overrated, but it's usually a prerequisite to making out, which precedes putting hands on parts, and so forth.  That's my understanding of how these things work.
It hasn't got easier. As I said, it's been 10 years since my last kiss. Since I'm not just out of high school, but out of my 20s, and 30s, and deep…

At what point did you realize the fat friend sitting between you was your "date"'s idea?

@avclub-f63a3b37ba7d308fca7c52efcfa866ec:disqus Do you live in the San Francisco area?

All the advice people are giving you here - I heard it all too, and had the exact same reaction, when I was 25 and broke (but an office worker, not a student).

It's like a Real Girl, but you marry "her".

I'm in my mid-40s and still there. Pretty much resigned to it by now.

It looks like the kind of place AV Clubbers would do well.
Except for me.  I had a profile up for years, fared no better than in real life.
Because at some point you have to communicate with someone, and that always kills it for me.

The ones I meet in my commie circles are either old New Leftists or really good-looking young people.  I'm of that middle generation that just didn't produce a lot of leftists (that I can tell anyway), with a horrible male:female ratio, and lots of lesbians (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it doesn't…
