I wasn't disgusted that more of Rick's group seemed about to die, and neither was Rick. It was frightening. Rick was scared.

Never in my days have I read such a mass of entitled whining.

Space Christmas

It's almost as if there's some guy constantly demanding that people get him pictures of Spider-Man.

Yep, it's the old nickname for a police van.

The Judas bullet hit the kevlar (stooge was fine), drilled through it (stooge is unaffected) then exploded (stooge dead).

She's not buffoonish, though she is loud (part of Jones comic persona - you could make her the President of Mensa and she'd still be loud). She's also friendly, hard-working and enthusiastic.

Nope, it's knowledge of history, and a car.

I am with you, but making her a librarian doesn't put her anything near an equal footing with doctorate level physicists. It's not really different from working in the subway.

Happily, there is. I am definitely sympathetic to the argument that her character could be shown as on an educational equal-footing, she's sort of given other qualities that, in an odd way, flesh out her character much more than any of the other three.
