Sarcasm can be funny, but funny isn't a requirement for sarcasm.

If we're supposed to read that Tommy blames Ghost for Holly's death, they're doing one poor job. And regardless of Tommy's feelings towards Angela, that doesn't change the fact that he's telling Ghost to kill his love right after killing his own and aching over it. It just rings false to me.

I don't think the guy is saying he himself takes that position. He's just saying this might be why some people are quick to doubt. These false rapes got more attention because they were high profile. Most other rapes don't get much attention at all. So in their limited experience with the subject, it might seem that …

Failing? I thought the sarcasm was quite clear…

It felt rather off to me seeing Tommy aching over the act of killing his girlfriend and then in the same day suggest to Ghost he should kill his girlfriend.

Same here. It didn't feel like blowing up the status quo. Felt more like going back to the status quo. Not that I mind. Ghost getting back into the game was inevitable.

I could've sworn they were telegraphing Tarik's death all episode and was literally thinking "Can they be any more obvious?"

I rewatched some twilight episodes a while ago, and it struck me that some of the twists seemed quite obvious. " Eye of the Beholder" is an egregious example. I wondered though, if it was as obvious back in the day, or if I am just spoiled by TZ inspired twists in all kinds of movies and television.

I rewatched Buffy for the first time since my late teens recently. I thought the first season was cheesier than I remembered (but still fun), and her personal struggles stood out a lot more. Mostly though, I discovered a newfound "appreciation" for Jenny Calendar.

YES! I had my first run-in with this a few weeks ago. Very weird feeling to have years on your dentist.

When statements like these are made and the reply in question is deleted, it is the worst thing in the world to me. Curse my morbid curiosity!

I don't think I did. I think at the point where I realized how silly I was being, I felt kinda embarrassed by the whole thing (plus, I still felt a bit suspicious afterwards).

The unmasking scene nearly broke my friendship with my childhood best friend. I had a nightmare one night where he and his family all pulled off their face-masks. He asked me the next day if I would come over to his house and play. I just… couldn't do it. I was freaked out. I didn't trust him again for weeks. I guess…

Man, I was cringing when they slid that needle under his nail… but then they had to go and break it off too… yikes!

Same here, I kept thinking, "this isn't gonna be the whole episode, is it?… Is it?" But then something random would happen that would have me laughing my ass off, like Wellick running into the background.
It felt like it was too long, but at the same time, I enjoyed the whole thing.

Well, I can't say I saw Jeremy going full-murder at the beginning. I had faint hope we wouldn't see him again. Even during Rachel's talk with him this episode, I hoped they wouldn't go the stupid-route and instead have Jeremy confess to drugging Mary or something.

Well, Quinn and Rachel didn't actually feed her the drugs. And the showrunner who did, didn't actually mean to kill Mary, so awful as it was, you can't say it was done intentionally.

Once upon a time, that would've been laughably bad. Today, somewhat believable.

Well, I think you're making an unfair comparison there. Ancient mythology is ancient. Those stories were told for centuries though. It's not like there was a big boom and then this type of storytelling died. And while we may not have a new mythology movie every summer, one might argue that superheroes are the modern…

I know they're different media, but that doesn't mean there can't be parallels. What I meant was that superhero stories have had a long-lasting appeal. Heck, people were telling superhero stories since ancient times, i'd argue. They just weren't wearing capes.
