Eh, DS9 was constantly trying to have its cake and eat it too with the Trill. Most of the time, the show treats Jadzia as if she's the same person as Sisko's old dead drinking buddy; whenever the plot finds it convenient to deem otherwise, however, it treats each individual Dax-liftime as its own unique and precious…

DS9 never really figured out what to do with Dax. Even when they hooked her up with Worf, it didn't do much to improve the character - it just made for a lot of tiresome "Klingons like bitey sex" jokes.

Needs more supercar.

"Sisko is not a fly by his pants type, that's more TOS Kirk. He takes
gambles sure, but they seem based on hunches and reading his adversary."

At this point I'm just assuming that Martin's going to have every character I like, and most of the ones I don't, raped to death by monsters by the end of season three.

I totally loved this show. Is it a mess? Absolutely. But it's a fun, weird, sad, frequently funny, beautiful mess. Yes, the weird spacey spirituality is all over the place and everywhere, and the show is cut off on a determinedly unresolved note, but through it all there is the clear and plain message that in a shitty…

What I don't get is the people who claim to have liked Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and Tenenbaums, but suddenly stopped liking Wes Anderson for the unbearable crime of continuing to make the same sorts of movies.

It is long past time for the free peoples of Leon to overthrow their kings!

I'd recommend either Nazi Literature in the Americas or By Night In Chile myself.

This is hardly the only time the Smurfs got political - also check out the classic comic "King Smurf."

"Hart attributed his religious awakening to a father-son team of contractors who installed a satellite dish." Oh, internet, I love you.

The east side/west side smurf thing was based on the classic smurf comic "Smurf vs. Smurf", in which a smurf civil war breaks out between smurfs who use the word "smurf" as a noun, and smurfs who use "smurf" as a verb. Apparently Peyo wrote this to satirize the conflict between French-speaking Walloons and…

That's right, @avclub-d80ecbbbef6ab40a4e53d1ad2c3fc1b2:disqus . Why should women express political opinions when they could just stand on a stage and look hot for dudes?

Unlike "Stuff White People Like," this is actually funny.

From the fact that he was always foaming at the mouth about the need to murder Arabs?

Fuck Hitchens. What a warmongering racist old shitheap.

LOU ZEALAND: A LIFE

Yeah, what exactly is "males are visual" supposed to mean? Are women not visual? Do ladies communicate like bats and dolphins, through a complex series of high-frequency clicks and whistles?

Kurt Cobain had "looks"?

OH NO! HOW WILL I KNOW IT'S GOOD IF A GUY HOLDING A STATUETTE DOESN'T TELL ME?
