I THOUGHT OF THIS SCENE, TOO!!

It's funny that you mention marriage, because my first thought was, "Um, just marry Jessica?" Not that I like the idea of them as a couple, but it seems like the most obvious solution, given the time issue.

I loved this episode, but was super frustrated by Bill. To me, the solution to the "problem" of them not recognizing Jessica as his heir was pretty obvious: marry her. I'm not suggesting they have sex or anything (because, gross)- but wouldn't that be the quickest, easiest way to get around the issue without going…

I actually really enjoyed it. It's got a lot of sex and romance, but also war and blood and death and all that. I think it could appeal to a wide variety of readers.

Yup. Was going to post the same thing.

I have two kids. I love them dearly, and do not regret them for a moment. But I will admit that there are times (today being one of them) when I think to myself that, if I'd had a crystal ball and could see the future world they'd grow up in, I might not have made the same choice.

In all fairness to Routh, I think part of the reason why people (myself included) don't look too fondly on his Superman is that the movie wasn't all that great. At least, I didn't think it was that great. I didn't care for most of the cast, the storyline, any of it.

But, if we were to take Routh out of that movie…

I honestly don't know that I've ever heard of Routh being thought of as the best Superman ever. Not mocking- I've just legitimately never heard anyone say that before.

Of course, Dean Cain will always be my favorite Superman, so I might not have a leg to stand on in the debate. ;)

IIRC, dogs are somewhat close to humans (in that they need a bit more variety), but cats basically need meat-meat-meat. So humans could eat dog and cat food and we'd be okay, but the opposite wouldn't necessarily need to be true. Along the same lines, you're not supposed to feed cats dog food because the balance of…

Good for him.

...That's all I've got. I'm happy for him and hope it works out well.

The thing is, when looking at any behavior (desired or undesired), you don't necessarily have the whole picture unless you're in the situation, so it's really difficult to judge whether a person is doing the "right" or "wrong" thing based on a few seconds observation. You don't know the setting events, or even…

Was going to post something similar, but since you did, I don't have to bother- I can just agree.

As a person on the autism spectrum, socializing gives me anxiety. The OP mentioned sometimes not being able to "get people to look [him/her] in the eyes"; however, for a lot of individuals, that's a difficult thing,…

I like this explanation the best. Also, when Piombino-Mascali says her eyes never have been fully closed, it seems weird to me, because every picture I remember seeing of her in the past (going back over ten years) has shown her with closed eyes, looking as though she were asleep. I remember taking in the details…

Well, yes and no. People have been preserving the bodies of their loved ones for thousands of years, for a wide variety of reasons. This method of preservation just happened to work REALLY well.

Also, for a long time, when people talked about Rosalia being preserved by her father, they made it sound like he did it…

I also read this as boob. It's not early enough that I have any excuse for it, either.

Well, sure- except, you're assuming that only a very young child would make these kinds of spelling errors. My nine year old (with ADHD and autism) prints at a first-grade level. My husband (32) has literacy issues as well, and can barely spell at a third-grade level. Both my husband and my son are very talented…

Meh. My oldest son (9) is way ahead of the curve in drawing ability, but has a hard time with printing and spelling. This is largely due to autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. He has the drawing skills of a much older child, but is about two or three years behind in spelling and printing. I don't think that…

I believe it, if only because of my oldest son (who has ASD, ADHD, and some related learning disabilities). He's nine, and can draw the most intricate, beautiful pictures- but he struggles a great deal with spelling and printing legibly. With that in mind, I had no reason to doubt the legitimacy of this picture.

I'd have to second that. I participated in Mandt training at work last week, and we put regular painter's tape on the linoleum floor (so we could practice stances). It was there for less than 48 hours, and when we pulled it off, it took all the varnish/shiny finish off with it. It looked awful.

There's no guarantee that Zoicite and Kunzite will be gay in this version (they weren't in the original manga, or in PGSM). They really could choose to go either way with that relationship in this new series. If they kept the pairing for the new anime, I'd be happy; however, I also really enjoyed the Kunzite/Sailor…
