Her turn to Houston wasn't too dramatic for me. I get that she's overcoming her urge to run from trouble, but didn't that happen in that goofy scene where she McGyvered a Molotov cocktail and threw it into the spaceship's mouth?

Shit you better not be talking about Say Anything. That Peter Gabriel song has gotten me through a lot of dark hours plus Martin Crane was a terrible father

I hate that House Of Pain is usually considered a one-hit wonder (or else, considered "Cypress Hill") by people who aren't way into nineties hip hop. "On Point" and "Shamrocks and Shenanigans" I think are better than "Jump". "The cops tried to lock me down because the glock they found was stolen, that's how I'm

Kane's arc has been so well done and so true to his character, same with Abby, Murphy, Raven and the rest. Bellamy in this episode was a pretty big misstep, not that he can't do bad things or be manipulated but Pike shouldn't have been the one to be able to do it, and not in such an obvious fashion. I guess I'm

I read stuff on the internet a lot, so I'm familiar with the term but hopefully not so much I'll ever say it out loud. I've usually seen it used for a character people like getting killed to advance the plot in a revenge driven way. It may be a throwaway character, but I don't think that's central to it. Like when

You have a message for me, the haughty envoy, to deliver to my queen? Yeah I'll come out to the balcony of this tower which would look pretty epic blowing up later in the season. Oh, let me turn my back to the ledge and stand in front of you, because that's what people do naturally when overlooking a high precipice.

I misread that title. A procedural (singular) about the early years of MacGyver and Dr. Phil? That I would watch

Clarke killing that jaguar was kind of lame. Like, I know she's a vagabond tough girl now, I saw the red dreds. Keep it subtle. Really though being a wandering nihilist is more of a Murphy thing, Clarke should be back at camp talking about leadership. Also Ice Nation Queen would make a great band name and I have high

This show is amazing, but the Grounder characters still feel completely bland to me, especially Lincoln. The only one who feels at all real is the bearded healer. Hope Murphy and Jaha find the light. It was somewhat disappointing, though honestly it made me laugh, when Jaha threw the whiny guy to the weird sea

Lexa is the Commander? I'm not a fan of that. As far as "let's challenge gender norms!" goes, having Dr. Tsiang as the ruthless scientist is great. I'm not to good with the Grounders' names, but having the older black lady or the bearded fake Commander as the actual Commander would have been great. I know this is a

I just realized how inured my own mind is to stereotypes. Whenever I see a woman out in public with her mother I just assume they are a pornstar team.

Maybe in the minority here, but I've always found Dane Cook a well off man's Ryan Reynolds, by which I mean as actors I feel they have about the same talent level but I've always felt like when I see Ryan Reynolds I'm expected to like Van Wilder or whatever superhero and not think he's a smarmy punchable douche but

White dude culture? Elvis and Nixon belong to all of us! I don't discriminate when it comes to my '60s and '70s dude culture. Whether it be the black dude culture of Martin Luther King and Rudy Ray Moore or the Jew dude culture of Bob Dylan and Lenny Bruce, those days had it all.

Yeah, I want to see the pilot! Those are both actresses whose names I've heard before, so I know they know how to read lines, probably. The concept of this show sounds really good, and it also sounds like a concept the creators of Archer would use to create a show that is exactly like Archer but with different voice

Love me some of that hot juicy MRA Star Wars fanfic "Greedo lustily tore open the sealed MRA package. Pushing aside his sensitive green hand, Leia, dexterously thrusting her long fingers inside, removed a fortified pastry and slid it delicately across Greedo's extended serpentine tongue. As Greedo removed the

So there are no more breasts? Are there still mammals, sans breasts? What a world, what a world….

The more badass a flag looks, the more controversial it tends to be. The 4 coolest flags outside of the Confederate one that I can think of were flown by Nazis, Soviets, Japanese military personnel, and Albanians. That last one may not sound controversial, but being that it's from the Balkans I'm sure it's been

Jim Caviezel is actually not the best example from that movie- and from what I've seen recently the historical Jesus had a mullet and the look of a perpetually stoned man - but it was pretty cool that Gibson managed to cast light brown Mediterranean looking people in light brown Mediterranean roles. And ditto with

So they chickened out. A movie that isn't about tragic cycle of revenge, where Leonardo DiCaprio rapes bears and bears rape Leonardo DiCaprio and nobody really remembers how or why it started is not the Jim Bridger biopic I signed up for. And they played up the bear rape so much in the trailer!

I totally lost my shit when Hulk Hogan wrote "BIGOT" on the front of his bandana. Like, WTF?!?!?
