Yes. Popcorn.

It's really not surprising to me or, I suspect, many women. I'm not even sure where your assumption came from. We like prestige entertainment too. We are humans.

That's a pretty huge assumption. This is a few years out of date, but it took 2 seconds to Google: http://www.wired.com/2013/0…

I love that movie. :) Fantastic episode.

As for Horace? I don't know why he blurted that out. I think maybe he (the character) doesn't really know why either. Perhaps he momentarily sympathised with his sister. Or perhaps he really felt that Jenny needed to know the truth about his brother sooner rather than later and he was sick of lying. Or he truly…

I think Sylvia's behaviour think may have something to do with the abuse that the women of the family suffered at the hands of the men. I'm not sure why she's worse to Horace than she is to Pete (although that relationship is very strained too) but I think it may have something to do with Pete's blind, unquestioning…

I think you've expressed it very well. I was thinking the same thing. Very weird. Louis CK does appear to have issues with women, doesn't he?

Yep.

What was the men are better than women bit? I remember Jenny being weird about preferring men in power positions and Sylvia saying that maybe a woman can be president for once…I think I must have missed something.

Can you make do with 78% of films? Or are women taking up too much space?

This was addressed in the piece…

Yeah, that was a weird and glib thing to throw in there.

I wrote this above, but I just think it bears repeating:

I think it's being treated as tragic. I wrote this above, but it's not uncommon for people to form attachments to their abusers. It's tragic, but it happens all the time. I think the show captured this very, very well. The honky tonk scene was purposefully unsettling. Keep in mind that we're exploring cult mentalities…

Exactly. Also, the uncomfortable truth is that people often don't acknowledge their rapes as rapes until years after the fact. It's a common coping mechanism.

This is absolutely cliche for a reason. I've done it several times.

It was a deliberately brutal power play of his. She miserably submitted.

Gretchen. In this context only.

And you just described all my relationships up to (but NOT including) my current partner. ;)

That's a really great idea!
