she probably wanted to keep her options open

"Metadata don't lie." Except when easily manipulated, I guess.

I applaud their ingeniosity but surely that time could have been better spent inventing something that's actually needed. Why would you want to resume watching something that you fell asleep over?

I've enjoyed a lot of movies this year but the only one that left me a bit impressed was Calvary. Quiet, contemplative, reductionist.

I see what you're saying and I agree that that's what they were going for but I just don't feel like the scene had the desired effect. For a kid possessed by an AI, he talked an awful lot like any other brat, only with loftier ambitions. Root seemed to react to what Samaritan was saying rather than what the Machine…

The season 2 christmas special of Rev. is quite wonderful. One of the few sitcoms that I find enjoyable to begin with though the secondhand embarrassment is a bit too real sometimes.

I found the writing rather clunky and on the nose. They run that "two gods going to war" metaphor into the ground, dug it up again and continued beating it (not quite a dead horse - yet; who beats horses anyway, dead or alive?). Much as I love the show, this is a bit of a regular problem and especially pronounced when…

That's true, it's common colloquially at the end of the predicate where it can be substituted by an apostrophe ("ich kriege" -> "ich krieg'", "ich habe" -> "ich hab'" etc; not common for every verb form/inflection!) but this cannot be done with nouns (unless it's some old poetry where anything goes). But German's…

One gum exactly.

The latter. The former would be giving them too much credit when they don't even know that the capitalization of every word in a title doesn't exist in German. I see no rhyme or poetry here (rather a reference to "make love, not war" -> "war not love" -> "Krieg nicht Liebe") and if it's supposed to be "Krieg nicht…

"Krieg Nicht Lieb". I see. For a second there, I thought I was having a seizure. It takes a special kind of skill to get a three word title wrong.

I loved how Charming was all "You've got to be the man Belle fell in love with" when he gave Gold advice and then it cuts to a scene where Rumple just comes back from torturing someone, wearing a bloody apron. Right, that's the guy she fell in love with. It could've been poignant if the show wouldn't still be trying…

I don't think I've ever watched a series finale that was so fulfilling and left me behind feeling empty at the same time. I can't even begin to comprehend all the awesomeness that descended on me and though I seldomly rewatch episodes I'll definitely have to rewatch this glorious hour of TV later today.

Actually, no. Only when it follows a short vowel (as in "Fluss" or "Masse"). When it follows a long vowel (as in "Gruß" or "Maß") it remains.

I did a little digging and it seems like a persistent myth.

It's been long since I watched the show but I remember that they often said "Heil kräuter!" (Heilkräuter = healing herbs). Hogan and the others did it to make fun of the Germans but the Germans sometimes adopted it unintentionally. Can't remember what other ways they found around the Hitlergruß but they did find them.…

I have to say that Hogan's Heroes is much more hilarious with the German dubbing ("Ein Käfig voller Helden"). It made the show a cult series here in Germany when it aired in the 90s and was largely responsible for its success. I'm laughing just thinking about it. The characters speak with different regional accents…

I should have worded that differently but what I meant was that while the rape of a woman is seen as deplorable and commented on as such, it hasn't elicitied the same outrage as is now the case with Caesar which might be attributed to the wtf factor or that it's Caesar but I think that, sadly enough, it's just that it…

I don't know what to think about Tiberius raping Caesar. On the one hand it kind of makes sense considering the path his character has taken since the death of his friend and rape seems to be a tool he has discovered to ensure his position of power over somebody else (which is what rape really is all about so no one…

I think there are several explanations for the threesome scene and it's probably a combination of some of them.
