Yeah, my understanding was that Ted/Robin was the show makers' endgame, not the fans' desire. If anything, it seems like a prime example of the show's creative staff being unwilling to allow the story and relationships to develop beyond their original vision of it. My perception (which could be wrong, I wasn't really…

I figured what they meant, but I guess they could have said something like "what is now this country" instead.

In all seriousness, calling to cancel my TWC subscription was one of the most pleasant customer service experiences I've ever had. I think it was because the rep was so surprised I wasn't complaining about anything (I didn't really care, I was just moving in with people who already had their own service), and seemed…

[Spoilers, maybe, etc.]

I guess as a second opinion re: the books - with the exception of Hannibal I generally enjoyed them. I disagree with the idea that the FBI agent finds the killer by "sheer luck," though I can see as a reader how it would start to seem obvious, because we're given the identity (or at least a pretty good sense of) the…

On another show I'd be afraid they go some route like, he watches family videos on YouTube and thus all social media is evil and only exists to help serial killers stalk and murder you.

I think Martha may be the woman near the end who's aiming the gun and wearing big plastic safety goggles.

It was actually called the "moistmaker." Which I only point out because it's even more ridiculous sounding.

I do think the ending in Dollhouse season 2 was hasty and rushed, but I feel the same way about season 1. Both times it just seemed like they were doing whatever they had to in order to wrap things up for inevitable cancellation. If anything season 2 got to do a lot that season 1 didn't because they spent so much of…

Being a lesbian, I can't say my experience has been that they exist "everywhere." I'll agree that often lesbian characters are treated with that "they'll make out for me" attitude, which is not something I care for given that I'm basically being the one being objectified, but it's also not something I see exclusively…

It's fine to feel it's not there. What I'm saying is, I'm not sure why you have to tell others they can't or shouldn't see it. It seems really unnecessary, especially considering more has been made of less when it comes to het couples.

Well Harry Potter was allowed to have a bestiality joke but there was no textual reference to Dumbledore being gay. Priorities in children's media sure can be kind of insulting.

I'm saying that's a legit way to take it. Other than that if they were a het couple, they could actually just say it out loud.

I'm sure they didn't originally intend Korra and Asami as a romantic pairing. I mean let me be clear, I know that. And I also really, really doubt that ever changed (because, for the record, sometimes creators change their minds during the process - that happened, for instance, with Tara and Willow in Buffy).

But again, the reason that it could never happen in canon - the reason that creators employed by this network would never be able to even consider writing a relationship like that in their show (regardless of whether it involved Korra and Asami in particular, for the record), is because oh no we can't have a clearly…

Really? Korra/Wu gets to exist on the scale at all (even when Korra said she would never date him) but Korra/Asami can only be just friends?

Okay, well here's what I would say -

Also in the current timeline literally everything that's happened to Korra since the first episode has happened within one year. She could use a damn break.

He's not a human, though. Elba said he wanted to play a human being with superpowers

It's a pretty common see-what-sticks tactic. There's some chance that the court may basically say "you should have sued the train company," and they don't want to risk waiting to find out, because by then it may be past the statute of limitations (i.e., the date after which you're never allowed to sue ever.)
