Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe, anyone?

Good point.  The double standard you illustrate does demonstrate why it's okay to treat assault of men by women as inherently non-serious.

Crossballs ftw

Fametracker had a brilliant comment in their "Hey! It's that Guy!" profile of Leslie Jordan: "Leslie Jordan is tiny and fey.  Sadly, he is not Tina Fey."

"The one semi-subtle thing in the pilot: the original Hood is eating a steak when we first meet him, which suggests something about Proctor’s reach beyond the limits of his county border."

Hey, don't stamp on that taint!

Yeah, I'm originally from Illinois.

Whack a guy, off a guy, whack off a guy … it's all the same, really.

I was taken aback when I recently learned about Tubman's extensive spying and military leadership during the Civil War.  Also, she helped plan and recruit soldiers for John Brown's Harper's Ferry raid.  (Historians are unsure why she didn't accompany him.)

Ah, that makes so much more sense than "you peaked," which is how I had parsed it.

She's old enough to have Fruit Roll-ups for dinner … in a strip club.

Whatever a wet-chester is, Dr. Spacemen would enjoy it.

There's a hilarious quote in her Wikipedia article where she talks about how, after she recorded a voice on Family Guy, she kept being invited back for small roles.  She concludes (paraphrased), "Seth MacFarlane must really like my voice!"

It sounded like "La-na-la-na-la-na" to me.  But looking back I should have known it was Philip Glass.

Did anyone else hear the music in that scene as a choir singing "Lana-lana-lana" over and over?

Or elaborate anti-back alley abortion (and therefore pro-choice) propaganda.

Also, if she HAD gotten one, there'd be one less serial killer in the world.

Regardless of what one thinks of the quality of the show, or whether or not one finds Parsons overrated, by any reasonable standard his Sheldon is a tremendous piece of acting.

Wasn't there already a great film about protecting great works of art from the Nazis?  By putting them on a train?
