I recently rewatched some episodes of DS9 for the first time since it aired and I was surprised at how much sexist shit was in there.  Between Bashir and Quark, it was pretty much always #MeToo O'clock on the promenade.  I seriously doubt someone like Dax would have put up with Bashir's constant propositioning.  And I

Ryan Murphy could do a whole season of American Horror Story based on Glee at this point.

They only mention Brussels, Belgium, Belgians, and NATO Headquarters (which has always been in Belgium) like 1000 times.  

I’m beginning to wonder if Lea Michele put a curse on the rest of the cast.

I am beginning to wonder if Lea Michele put a curse on the rest of her castmates.

It's probably just J.K. Rowling.

It's been 30 years and I still have nightmares about that damn shoe.

Ugh, so true.  When the first season was airing, I was riding the subway and overheard these two douchey hipsters engaging in a fantasy about how to make their office more like Mad Men and arguing over which one was the Roger and which one was the Don.  They came to the conclusion that this wasn’t a good idea only

I mean, the ship on The Expanse has a crew of 4 so he’s basically the equivalent of any primary bridge character.

He was raised in San Antonio so I’m guessing that’s a yes.

Oh god, was it ever.  I thought I’d missed some kind of major plot point about Christian’s marriage falling apart or being widowed or something.  

I hate that Graham Linehan has forever trainted The IT Crowd for me. I know he’s been known transphobic for a while but I somehow just found out about it. Between this and Cas Anvar grom The Expanse turning out to be a scumbag rapist, it’s been a shitty week for shows I like.  But obviously I'm glad this stuff is

Yeah, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for The Man Show to catch up with him.  It was uniformly misogynistic and racist.  It’s not like it was some obscure thing no one knew about either.

Glee is what people think launched his career? I always thought it was Nip/Tuck. I mean, sure, Glee was more mainstream but Nip/Tuck got so much buzz with all its wacky guest stars and increasingly bizarre subplots, that I though he was a household name before Glee.

I'm so glad that Taika Waititi didn't just abandon it now that he's the next big thing.  

Someone pointed the similiarity to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the tattooing of the rapist to me and I was curious to see if she might have been a copycat but the incident happened about 18 months before it was first published in English so I guess she was just a revenge trendsetter.

I’m totally doxxing myself with this story but whatever. My worst roommate inspired an episode of Law and Order SVU. She was assigned to me my freshman year of college based on some questionnaire we had to fill out during the summer. To this day I am disturbed that some computer algorithm though we would be a good

The first time I saw it, I was on the treadmill at the gym but I didn’t have headphones so there was no sound which just made it all the weirder. I was convinced I was hypoxic or having some kind of acid flashback.

I think Octavia Butler did this well too with the Parable of the Sower and the Talents. I think that’s one of the most terrifying apocalyptic (though parts of it do fit into the Cli-Fi category as you discussed above) novels because there’s no mass die off. The novels do take place a bit later in the process of

It was a huge flop. They also made the bizarre decision to release it on Christmas Day which didn’t set it up for success. Because obviously most American families want to see a graphic anal rape scene right after Christmas dinner.
