Wait, what? Where in "Welcome to the Hellmouth" is the metaphorical attempted date rape? Are you talking about Darla and her victim in the teaser? That wasn't attempted rape, it was a guy thinking he and his girlfriend were breaking into the school after hours to have sex.

Oh I agree, it was quite the emotional rollercoaster. I was never super into Tara as a character though, so maybe I wasn't quite as affected as you were. I loved certain moments she had though (comforting Buffy at the end of "Dead Things" was my favorite).

Yeah, it was the most out-of-character thing Giles ever did, and it really bummed me out because Giles is the best? Like, literally the most amazing character ever, one of the best surrogate father figures on TV, and they made him act like a dick. Maybe Willow could have mind-controlled him into leaving Sunnydale…

Well… maybe I wouldn't go so far as to call it the season of rape? That sounds like a more accurate thing to call some season on Game of Thrones. What kind of metaphorical rape happened, do you think? Because "Dead Things" and "Seeing Red" were the only episodes of the season to my knowledge where rape was brought up.

The episode "Dead Things" makes me so uncomfortable I don't think I could stand to rewatch it again. He just brutally kills a woman whose only crime was breaking up with him and attempting to flee a gang rape (The gang part is debatable since you know the only person Andrew wanted to have sex with is Warren, but…

Sigh. This season could have ended up the very best one Buffy ever did if they had just tweaked a few things. And since I have no life and am permanently devoted to Buffy, I shall detail just what changes should have taken effect:

How DARE this lamestream liberal media website literally just summarize the plot!!!1!1!!

Grimm's very last monster of the week episode. At least they went out with a good one. It makes me kind of sad, because for the first time I've realized it's actually all ending. NBC is a network run by damn fools for not giving them a full-length final season, or even renewing them. Now let's see if the last three…

I wonder if the government would have finally ponied up the money for "Wrecked" two years later.

I don't know about Xander joining the Initiative, but I do think they should have had Adam be Riley's best friend in the first half of the season, get brutally murdered by a demon at the halfway point, and Maggie 'saves' him by making him into Adam. This would add personal stakes to the whole thing for Riley and make…

Can we be best friends? Agreed with everything you said. Marc Blucas actually had genuine acting talent. Not a lot, granted, but more than Michelle Trachtenberg ever mustered in her three seasons on the show. And Glory was annoying as all hell (no pun intended), at least Adam had some semi-interesting philosophy and…

If we're talking purely about what gets shown in "Primeval" and "Restless", then no, I don't think she is. She was portrayed by a black actress, so it's not whitewashing, and I don't think there's a racist component to making her so primitive, since it's from a time when all of mankind was primitive. That kind of…

I can forgive some of the flaws inherent in Adam's characterization because I'll be damned if he didn't have one of the coolest designs I've ever seen. That makeup work is fantastic, the mixing of human, demon, and cyborg was just such an inspired concept that I can't hate it. He's definitely the most fun Big Bad on a…

Top 5 Spike Moments in Chronological Order:

Yeah, Marsters really should be a star. When he popped up on Torchwood for a few episodes to pretty much play a version of Jack Harkness with no morals whatsoever, he was absolutely fantastic. He even managed to bring gravitas and pathos to frickin' Smallville playing the absolute best version of Brainiac ever aside…

Yeah, but if the ACA just gets run into the ground as you said, won't Republican voters be super mad that the GOP wasn't able to cobble together a decent replacement even when in control of all three branches of power?

"But we're not racist, honest!" -The GOP

It's because not a one of them ever thought they'd be in a position to ever do anything about it. They were praying for Hillary to win so that they could spend another 8 years raging against the dying of the light. They're more comfortable in that mode because they don't have to actually produce results.

Yeah, but at this point I think it would be more surprising if the bill DID pass. Trump is likely against it because of that very scenario, that it would piss so many people off that the Dems sweep the midterms. If the bill fails, as I'm thinking it will, what then? Obviously in the short term that's a positive…

I knew there was a reason I loved James Carville. Petition to rename the AHCA Chump Care.
