I'm honestly not sure what Hillary Clinton has to do with this conversation, unless you're just trying to imply that "we" would never call a woman (or a Democrat/liberal? I'm not sure where you're spinning with this) a rape apologist.

I didn't know anything about Jeffrey Jones so I'm going to pretend I never read this thread so I can keep enjoying his movies.

I hope I'm not about to sound like a rape apologist apologist, but in addition to the "Bob would never do such a thing!" syndrome, I think the other reason people (usually men) are often skeptical of rape accusations is that they put themselves in the shoes of the accused (usually a man) rather than the accuser…

"Well lies, mass hysteria or whatever you want to call it happens in our society. Over and over."

Oh Petra's clothes are fabulous. Impeccable. They're just also only viable for someone with that willowy build (good for her!), while Jane's wardrobe seems more accessible.

I find the CW promos hilarious as they cycle through broody vampires and superheroes and demon hunters . . . and Jane under the tag line, "Be legendary" (or something like that).

I don't love this dichotomy of Michael as bland but safe and Rafael as sexy and exciting. I mean, yes, Michael is a known quantity (in that she literally has known him for a long time), while Rafael is new, but in what way, exactly, has Michael been bland, and in what way has Rafael been exciting? I mainly question…

I'm willing to concede that it's possible these allegations are false. You, on the other hand, appear entirely unwilling to concede that it's possible they are not. In a culture in which it's much more common to lie about not being raped than being raped, and in which rape victims are expected to prove their innocence…

That's why I said "if this story is true." I don't overlook the possibility that Cosby did not rape this woman; I just don't assume that consensual sex is the only possibility like you do. You're basically saying, "Because there were two sexual encounters — because she 'voluntarily' put herself in Cosby's vicinity not…

A beloved public figure who rapes me and I spend a year hiding it from everyone, terrified people might find out, and then he contacts my parents with a great opportunity for me, and I have to either tell them what I've been desperately hiding or go along with the nightmare? Yes, I can see that happening. Also, you…

If this story is true (and I realize that at the heart of your Cosby defense is that you don't think it's true but you don't want to straight up call her a liar so you're instead positing that it's her fault even if he drugged and raped her twice), then you're ignoring the predatory nature of that 2nd interaction.…

Oh I'd love it if Katrina were an active member of the team, both because it adds the witchcraft element and because a married couple as part of a team dynamic is interesting to me (and takes away the likelihood of a Crane/Mills romantic pairing). I'd even love it if Katrina were to go full-on evil, maybe even as one…

Never underestimate my clumsy.

Oh sure, Hawley definitely still has a thing for Abbie (as shown when he flung himself against the door quite frantically when she was taken). I just meant that he is not (yet) emotionally connected to her or Jenny in a way that would make him a factor in this episode's emotions (not like Crane would have been, by…

My school was one inch below the knee too, resulting in a lot of hastily rolled-down waist-bands as teachers approached. I went to an all girls Catholic school.

Damnit!

My only regret is that I recently started AC: Liberation on the Vita and am enjoying it, but I pre-ordered Dragon Age Inquisition so it will arrive tomorrow. Quit playing AC: L to start Dragon Age, or not?

Someone in Cosby's employ coming forward to corroborate rape allegations seems far less likely than 14 women coming forward to make false rape allegations. Your other two examples — baby and STD — could easily be hand-waved as products of consensual sex.

Irving being tricked out of his soul doesn't sit right with me. So next time I sign a grocery store receipt, I might inadvertently sign away my soul? It's stupid. I prefer to think Irving's soul is still his but Henry is trying to manipulate him into losing it by committing murder or some such.

I'm sorry your murder weed has not flourished?
