I don't agree with the contention that they're underdeveloped, but I do agree that, by comparison, the women are dying a lot faster than the men are. It does prickle that of Team Science, they of course killed off the person who wasn't a white dude, even if I get that it was probably partly because the audience is

He flipped a coin and that was it.

This is admittedly what I try to tell myself, as it's unfair for me to accept its lack of realism in certain areas, but not the one where I happen to know exactly how it's being realistic.

I would say it depends on the judge, but I can't imagine any judge who wouldn't require people to take off their hats in the courtroom.

To be honest it was about the level of wrong I was expecting. I was hoping for better, but wasn't surprised by what we got.

I think it gets a lot of attention for hate-watching purposes? I know I read the reviews every week despite not watching the show. Most of these shows are either too boring or too close to decent (or are actually decent: I like Raising Hope) for hate-watching.

If it were possible to cut this season of LoK down to pretty much only things pertaining to Korra herself, I would say it was mostly excellent. "A New Spiritual Age" was also a great episode.

Shouldn't Mike's extremis powers or whatever mean the explosion wouldn't kill him? I mean wasn't that kind of a thing in [spoilers for Iron Man 3 spoilers spoilers]?

I disagree on Asami - she got the same demonstration everyone else did of what those kinds of weapons are capable of during the last season. She should know better than to treat that cavalierly.

That wouldn't be much of a twist - it was so telegraphed that even for this show, I felt like it could be a misdirect.

While it's true that women shouldn't have to take on traditionally masculine aspects in order to be taken seriously, and that traditionally feminine aspects should be treated as having value in and of themselves, it's also the case that women who do have/take on characteristics thought of as "traditionally masculine"

I sort of hope this does happen. Just so that, the moment he rides in triumphantly to rescue Jesse, Jesse can shoot him in the face.

I think this is referring to the point where Lydia found that tracker on one of the methylamine barrels and Walt and Mike thought she put it there herself to try to get them to stop using her as a supplier and want to kill her, but I think Jesse believed her when she says she didn't, which turns out to be true.

Yeah, but I think you can be bothered when a show that does depict straight relationships (or more precisely, romantic feelings/relationships between male-and-female-gendered beings) either won't portray gay ones, or is compelled by higher ups of whatever to only do so in subtext. You don't have to need gay characters

I remember during "City of Thieves" I had a whole thing about how Finn wasn't really a thief after he stole that treasure for that girl, because he thought he was recovering stolen property, and so lacked the requisite intent.

Fair enough - I got the impression from the replies that enjoyment meant independent of the empathing-process itself, but I was wrong. And I agree with you that his reactions/experience definitely appears to go beyond just visualizing the murders themselves.

I don't really think he enjoys it. He's acting as a mirror to the person he's empathizing with. If that person smiles, he's going to smile. If that person enjoys killing, he's going to enjoy killing - but it's because empathizing with that person means he's going to feel their emotions, not because he, if Will has a

I'm pretty sure they show Joey and Chandler eating a lasagna too, because they do so over a pair of chairs as they Don't Own A Table.

I think this every time I see the title. And then am disappointed again.
