I really liked how they showed how much better she was with a different weapon. The bow staff that she was sentimentally attached to just isn't her thing. Giver her some short clubs and she goes to town. It also illustrates the differences in her and Sara's fighting styles. The fluid swirly grace of Sara versus the…

Am I the only one who doesn't hate Laurel? Pity her sure, wish the writers would give her a damn win for once yes, but man, so much Laurel hate. I don't get it. She has gone from being annoying and useless to being single minded and not quite so useless. If they follow this through and she finds a way to get her…

Oh holy crap!

Zorro. I had riding lessons and took up fencing when I decided not to lie to my high school guidance councilor about my goals and she got snippy. Something about 'there's nothing you can really do to prepare for that.' Well ha, now I can fence and was in really good shape for a while. Of course I don't live anywhere…

Khutulun. I would watch the shit out of an epic about her. Maybe an epic miniseries? I don't know. I just know that I want it. Maybe there already is one (she asks, hopefully, reaching out into the commento-sphere for answers)?

I will agree mostly crap. BUT, I really hope Ida wins best foreign language film. That movie is amazing. Loved it.

Maybe Dr. Cho is Amadeus Cho's mom? He was always kind of young? And had to get his genius from somewhere? Maybe?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Far From the Madding Crowd. I know, not genre, but I just saw the trailer and am frothing for it. Must scoot, have to reread immediately!

I honestly think it comes from Terry Pratchett?

Lutefisk dinners at all the Lutheran churches, usually Sunday nights leading up to the first day of Christms. I've never gotten up the nerve to eat it but I swear I will one day. Also Christkindlemarkt's. I went to one this year where everything was over priced but we got free ceremony beer and glutwein. It was also…

My Immortal. Seriously. But it has to be aloud, in a group, while drinking and with different friends doing different voices. Those are the good times.

That's why I'm a fan of Elementary. That Sherlock keeps trying to be the 'smartest man in the room' and Lucy Liu just sort of gives him a look and shuts that shit down. Good times.

Yeah, a couple other people posted this in the thread and it did help. Thanks.

Thanks. I did read it as 'word choice' but I am coming from the writer frame of reference where people tell me I have good diction and I get really excited about it. I understand that these things can be extremely sore subjects but I really do appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me. I will attempt to keep this…

I don't know why I didn't pick up on that in the first place. Thank you for explaining.

He did not explain what a backhanded compliment was to me. What he did was explain that black people are often told that they are bad at English. If you had said 'it's a common misconception that black people are illiterate' then I would have been like, oh that explains the vitriol, cool, thanks for explaining.…

Thank you. This is a legitimate answer to my question. I appreciate it.

I know what a backhanded compliment is. Now it's you who is being an ass. I don't understand why saying 'this writer has a masterful use of the english language' is backhanded. That's like saying that telling Aaron Rodgers he's a really good at leading his team implies that most quarterbacks are horrible.

Still confused. Why is pointing out good diction condescension? Not pulling you on right now, I am honestly confused.
