I know she was. I didn't say she was unconscious. I said that it occurred to me, while watching the show, that he couldn't do CPR because he couldn't breathe. The reason it occurred to me was because I'd seen the Buffy episode where Angel claimed he couldn't do CPR for that reason. I thought it in a "Hey, that…

I'm really glad you've addressed this here, because I've been seeing this meme posted a LOT on Facebook recently. It's, of course, heartbreaking; however, most of the people posting it just don't get why this absolutely cannot be compared to the unnecessary and brutal killing of Trayvon Martin. I could go off on a…

You're not wrong at all, and it was crummy logic at the time Buffy aired. That said, I didn't suspect the TB writers were above making the same mistake. ;)

I find that the only way I can get past these sorts of things in my favorite fantasy-type shows is to make flimsy excuses or chalk it up to magic. I'm usually…

I don't think they've explained it, yet, and Jason seemed shocked about it, too. I suspect that some new laws were put in place behind the scenes (that will come out in later episodes) that give the government partial ownership of everyone's homes so that they can rescind invitations whenever they think it's…

I thought the same thing. "Anna Paquin REALLY wants to show off her amazing post-baby body!" And she did look really, really amazing. Though, maybe a bit thinner than she did a few seasons back when Eric had that fantasy of her stripping down in front of her. She was solid as a rock then, but also curvy. Now her…

Definitely agree- and this point's been made about a million times since Buffy's Season 1 finale. It's flawed thinking for sure, but I figured that it's entirely possible the writers on True Blood made the same mistake that was made way back then. I was basing my assumption not off science and reality, but off of…

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and it's been pointed out many times over the past fifteen (or more) years since Buffy aired that this doesn't make sense at all for the reasons you mentioned. I just figured, hey, it's possible the writers here used the same logic the writers back then used and didn't think it…

You know, now that I think about it, it might have been Hep D. So either this is something they've engineered that's a stronger/faster version of that, or they've forgotten what they originally called it. ;)

I will say, it did sort of occur to me that maybe Warlow couldn't do CPR on Sookie because he's a vampire and doesn't breathe.

(Yeah, re-watched Buffy recently, and that was Angel's excuse for not performing CPR on her in the first season, after she drowned.)

I also instinctively thought, "WHY IS THERE NO VAMPIRE…

They actually mentioned Hep V way back in the first season, when Sookie went to find Bill and came across that nest of nasty vamps. There was an infected human there who was a carrier, and by drinking from him, the vamps caught it.

In the books, I believe it's called SINO-AIDS. But I'm glad that, for consistency's…

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Because it totally worked with me, too.

It especially didn't matter since they made changes to the rules of succession a few months back. In fact, this news would have been much more "newsworthy" if the baby had been a girl.

But I'm finding that most of the people covering this birth are complete idiots.

Speaking as someone who's survived sexual assault, I will say that I didn't remotely see this scene between Eric and Willa as being him threatening to rape her to death (that is, it wasn't at all triggering to me). Actually, it's a bit of wordplay: He's referring to the fact (mentioned in several episodes) that a…

I never have the urge to ask about a person's ethnicity, but I'm always curious to know about their cultural heritage. Probably because I have a love of anthropology, but I just find it fascinating. I love learning about where people came from- from a historical perspective, that is. For example, I love listening…

Everyone else eats in public, why shouldn't babies? You cannot compare the function of taking in nutrients to the that of expelling waste- which, by the way, is primarily done in private due to cleanliness/hygiene issues and not, simply, because it's gross. Don't shit where you eat, and all that.

Human beings have…

Ditto to this. I find that Coke in particular leaves my teeth and tongue feeling coated and fuzzy and icky. This seems to be true of all pops, but Coke's the worst. The diet versions honestly taste better to me and feel more 'clean' in my mouth, if that makes sense.

I love Diet Pepsi. It is the only pop I ever purchase for myself, and I drink anywhere from one to five cans in a month.

That said, I refuse to feel bad about it because, otherwise, I have a fairly healthy diet. Lots of fruit and veggies, low in bad fats and high in good fats, whole grains, etc. Sure, I'll have the…

Ditto. I haven't watched Glee in AGES, but this passing has just shocked and upset me so much. I mean, it's always sad when a person passes away, celebrity or no, but this one struck a chord with me. Maybe it's because he was a BC/Alberta boy of the same relative age as I am, maybe it's because he seemed like such…

I actually prefer the word "cunt" because it's usually used interchangeably with "dick" and "asshole". All three basically mean the same thing (in swear word terms). But "pussy" is used to refer to something weak and unappealing and feminine. For that reason, I see "cunt" as the more feminist word of the two. Cunt…
