Sleater-Kinney was a riot grrl band that was popular in the early 2000s. It's what made Carrie Brownstein famous (she's the woman on Portlandia).

You know, all through Cary's "Bishop and I can just settle this like reasonable people, right?" arc, I was sitting there wondering why he was at Bishop's house. I mean, no one, not his bodyguard, not Kalinda, turned to him and said "Hey, Cary, what you're going to say would be really incriminating if the FBI heard you…

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd even be able to tell if two men were wearing exactly the same suit.

Seconding that this is a great answer!

But I think they're actually trying to subvert the gaslit love interest trope with Iris — she immediately recognized the gaslighting for what it was and stuck to her guns. I'm hoping they continue that trend and keep giving her a real character.

He did! Iris was clearly into it — she was coyly looking over her shoulder and not turning around — and he was clearly into it too and it just felt like this weird roleplaying scenario where nobody had negotiated the boundaries ahead of time.

Yeah, I just posted basically this above, but I'm surprised at how annoyed people are with her in this episode. I was really impressed that the writers allowed her to stand up for herself and realize that Barry and her father had ulterior motives. Love interests generally aren't allowed to reasonably disagree with the…

I'm sort of surprised they're going with "Iris just doesn't know about Barry's feelings" — throughout the series, I've gotten the impression that she definitely knows and has been trying to communicate to him subtly yet firmly that she doesn't feel the same way.

Yeah, I'm really surprised at how many people are all like "UGH IRIS WITH HER BLOG THE WORST." I mean, seriously, if I was a journalism student who realized there was concrete evidence of supernatural activity in my hometown, I'd start trying to document it too (if only to try to prove it wasn't supernatural — hard to…

Yeah, he's a douchey asshole, but at least he's a relatively good-natured douchey asshole. That's two dimensions, which is one more than any of the other students have.

Does anyone else kind of not like the actress who plays Zoey? She's just…I don't know, she always feels really flat. Maybe she's just that good at playing a self-absorbed teenager? I feel a bit bad about this because I think an actress on HTGAWM is really flat too, so I can't tell if it's just me.

I hate mint. I love chocolate, but I hate mint.

Usually there's a setup where all the headphones are connected by Bluetooth to one central music streamer, so it's all the same music. You can adjust your own volume though, which is nice.

I was seriously amazed at her inability to handle the interview. I mean, there's being braced for hardball questions, and then there's being completely unable to socialize with others, and Alicia was doing the second. To be totally honest, I kind of think this is on her campaign manager. We know she can do reasonable…

Interpretive dance.

That's also what I thought the first time I heard that song, and I was in third grade! I didn't even know what sex was, but I still interpreted "get with" as being romantic. It was all very confusing.

The reason it's not considered a constitutional issue (indeed, the right-wingers are the ones pushing these restrictions on voting) is because they are mostly affluent older white people. No one in the history of our nation has ever tried to stop them from voting, and they don't have the imagination to realize that…

Junior is always the highlight for me, ever since Dre asked him in the pilot: "So you'd give up your cultural heritage to have a party?" and he said "Short answer? YES."

It sounded to me like Cisco had built it when Barry was still in his coma (although I might be wrong about that), so in that case Barry doesn't really have a right to be mad either. But yeah, why was that gun so badly guarded that apparently any random person could walk in and grab it and no one even knew for days and…

Seriously, I used to go to a nerd pub trivia night (it was even called Nerd Pub Trivia) and I don't know how none of us ever thought of that name. It would have been amazing.
