I add new ones to the rotation when the old ones are worn out. And, of course, occasionally pick up pretty/sexy ones just to make me feel good.

I enjoy the X-Files comic however, I wouldn't say that it's nearly as good as the show was. Yet. That said, the it's only been running for less than a year, and the first few issues have been spent in getting everything set up for Mulder and Scully's return to The X-Files, so they haven't had much opportunity, yet,

Even if one were to argue that this were necessary to progress Cersei's storyline (and I don't think it is), it's certainly not necessary to Jaime's storyline. If anything, it runs contrary to the character as it exists at that point in time.

I don't think (most) people are saying Jaime's been redeemed, so much as they're saying he's on the path to redemption. He's not becoming good- but he's becoming better. Also, he does have a (very skewed) set of morals, and it's made pretty clear how he feels about rape. So, yes, given this point in the character's

I hate-hate-hated this scene. I don't really know what else to say about it, except it upset the hell out of me, and that's saying a lot considering how upsetting the subject matter, in general, is.

What I hate more is the reviewers out there describing the rape as "passionate sex". I've seen others write "rape" in

I'd say that I, personally, read the scene in the book as being close enough to rape to make me uncomfortable; however, I did feel like there was some ambiguity (consent-wise) there. I'll admit, that ambiguity is probably due to the first-person narrative. It's possible, like you said, that GRRM wanted that scene to

Well, I'd say that's because there can be a million reasons for killing a person- and not all of them are selfish or "evil" (for lack of a better word). Jaime could kill Cersei for vengeance, out of self defence, etc. There are legitimate reasons why Jaime killing Cersei could be justified, in the same way that most

I agree with the OP. I'd say that part of what separates the two acts is timing (when Jaime threw Bran from the window, it was at the beginning of the series, before he'd gone through everything he's gone through), and part of it is motivation (when he threw Bran from the window, it was with the intent- at least to

I remember it the same way. It's been a while since I finished the books, but my memory is of Jaime becoming less interested in Cersei, not the other way around. My memory of the book scene is that it was ultimately consensual, but not outright. It wasn't the out-and-out, clear-cut rape that it was in the show last

The rape of Cersei by Jaime last night bothered me so much, as it was a completely unnecessary addition. It just didn't need to be there.

What bothered me more, though, was all the writers last night who described the incident as "passionate sex" (or something along those lines). Like, seriously? In what universe

This article is about spoilers. Naturally, the comments are going to contain spoilers, because that's the way the Internet works. And yet, you have people reading the comments, getting spoiled, and then getting pissed off about it. This is a perfect example of everything that, I think, Madeleine was talking about.

But he was annoying in a way that I oddly loved. Seriously, he's one of my favorite parts of that movie. Among many. Because that movie kicks ass.

IIRC, Wolverine always had the claws, but they were only bone until the adamantium was added later on.

Anthropologically speaking, there's usually a distinction made between gender and sex. Sex is biological, gender refers to identity. A person may identify as female without ever changing their biological sex, for example. Based on how they identify themselves, that person would be female and we would use female

Aw, aren't you cute?

My youngest, Logan. Not my youngest Logan. I don't have multiple Logans.

I named my youngest Logan, after Wolverine. I have no regrets.

I wish I could like this a hundred times. I'm also sad that this is so far down the list, because it is by far one of the more rational, well thought-out posts here.

I absolutely agree that there's a cultural bias at play here, which explains why doctors from Canada, South America, and all across Europe and Asia

That seems like a really high number to me. Maybe it's because guys of that generation weren't taught proper hygiene? Where I live, most men aren't circumcised. Nobody in my family, or my husband's family has been- and not a single foreskin-related injury or illness among them. I know this because they're all a

I'm really having a hard time believing that half of all un-circumcised men will have wang-related issues in the future. I say this as someone who comes from a European family (in which it simply isn't done), and who married into a European family (that also doesn't circumcise). There are a lot of us- I'm talking
