She's also the most sympathetic and thoughtful person in the entire episode, so I'd be surprised if we were supposed to see her rebellion as "shallow." If that was the intention, it doesn't come through at all.

Yeah, that I _do_ apologize for. Also, for not covering the audio collection. Time just got away from me.

Oh man, are _you_ in luck!

Eh. It's not his best work.

He comes back a few times, too.

I have a hard time with cringe comedy, but that "On Your Side" clip was so amazing I may just force myself to watch this show.

You need to type slower. I'm not getting all of this down. My rage blinds me to the helpful explanations being offered by such wise, patient people.

I'm going to pretend you are really offended and upset by this, because it is the most adorable commenter rage I've ever inspired. "HOW DARE YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE INTRICACIES OF ETHICAL INSTRUCTION," you scream in your apartment, the glow of the laptop screen throwing eerie shadows across the room. Then your head…

I like the idea of this, but I suspect that in practice it would make the ending even more cruel—to the point where it would lose what little value it has.

You should watch it again.

I did too. Sorry to have misled. :(

Nope. I just don't have time—and unfortunately, I won't be able to get around to the audio-recordings like I'd planned, either. (Won't be doing the movies, either. I may try and work up some sort of FOC piece on 'em, though.)

I'll second this.

If it helps, I went back and forth a bit on the grades—I could see either going up to a "B," depending on my mood. They're interesting to watch, even if they aren't completely successful.

I'm really not. Also, lighten the hell up.

Sometime late August, I think? Also, I should probably get around to writing that.

Oh, that is a terribly clever inside joke.

I wish I'd said that.

Y'know, I hadn't even made the connection, but you're right. And in both cases, it's pretty much assumed the woman is going to raise her infantilized husband. There's probably some subtext there.

Oh god, I just realized that it's been so long that if I ever want to beat Dark Souls II, I'll probably just have to start from the beginning. (I enjoyed it, but it never grabbed the me the same way Dark Souls or Demon's Souls did.)
