I think you mean Doctor…When?

Eh, I didn't love him, and I think Bana was kind of wasted in the role, but those complaints arrive pretty low on the "Brulio Isn't Too Charmed or Happy" List of things in NuTrek

The terms refer to different categories of fans! You can't lump them all together! Then it would be like we all enjoy the same thing the same way, when clearly one is superior to the other.

*Inhales deeply*

I'm not a huge fan of SJW as a term either (my whole family is made of old-school, Great Society democrats, and capital-letters-Social Justice was a BIG part of our household curriculum), but I do think it's been successfully co-opted by a particular faction.

Oh yeah, the speed factor caught me by surprise, too. I guess when gay people had to 'share the room' with everyone else, it was an adapt-or-die situation, so might as well get yourself titillated. Now that the gay community has got theirs, opinions are snapping back like rubber bands.

Not to go off on a political bent, but it's not just the gay community (which, at least in my own research, has always had a grimy underbelly of bi-, trans-, and sex-prejudices). The Black and Latin populations in the States also have demonstrably conservative biases in a lot of social areas, and women as a whole are…

Cowabunga.

Snake Eater

I'm trying to save up money for a big trip my girlfriend and I want to take to China, next Thanksgiving-ish.

Problem is, crowbar guy's only got one other shirt, and it says "My other shirt says 'Crowbar Guy'"

There's just barely enough time to hire a sex worker.

We're gonna need a bigger reference?

I would have gotten along with that guy. I was BIG into conspiracies at the time.

My mistake, sorry. I'm interpreting through a strep throat haze, and went off on a bit of a tangent.

Frankly, I don't love that term. It's wrapped up in a lot of connotations that don't productively inform the conversation. Personally, I think that this series is dealing in ideas that are bigger than hoary tropes about men and women.

"A bunch of unfocused, unpowered schmucks! My one weakness!"

It's easy for us to criticize the characters for not arriving at the conclusion earlier, and I get that the narrative journey is as important as the destination, but yeah.

I'm inclined to agree that that was the point the show ended up making, but that basically ends up trivializing a lot of the suffering that everyone else has to endure because of Jessica's own issues. She's the main character, so it makes sense that she'd be the nexus for everything, I don't object to that, but… …

Clemons wasn't set up through the whole season as having deep personal stakes in the central conflict. He was just a cop (this close to retirement!) doing his job.
