I like The Great North.  Can someone explain to me why the theme music has all the characters going “whup” and “whoo” all over the place?  It’s weird.  

That would actually be perfect

Gonna have to rewatch it with this context in mind now. 

Peter: Holy crap, Lois, this is even worse than the time I lived in that small Alaskan town!

It’s surprising a) how good it is, and b) how little it seems to be talked about.

I’m so sorry you think that. 

It’s something you learn--not having beginner’s luck for one time is not a flaw. He’s talented and smart enough to learn with doing.

This policy still doesn’t make sense. Why would you give a trophy to the losing team regardless if the team was regular or elite? What's the point of that when the entire team knows they lost? 

1. I still find it odd that anyone (guest hosts, viewers, reporting outlets) thought at any point that the parade of guest hosts was a serious audition rather than stunt casting to maximize ratings right after Trebek’s passing. I thought that was clear from jump street, though I admit I was surprised that the…

I think each season’s been getting better and better. It’s a show that made no apologies about wearing its heart on its sleeve and I absolutely adored it for that reason. It took Troi’s advice to Data “that emotions aren’t good or bad; it’s what you do with them that counts” and showed how empathy is the absolutely…

I actually really enjoy this series. I know it’s super cool to hate it but I like the cast, I like the story, and I like butts. Wait, no, ignore that last thing.

Do you think women just wake up one morning in a jail cell?  They’re in jail for committing crimes.  If having babies could get them home then every convicted criminal would be getting knocked up before they could be incarcerated.

It doesn’t stop being cruel just because she may not have had the purest of motives for having children, which, true or not, is not the fault of her children!

Do the millions of unwanted children who could be brought into the world and then neglected because some well-meaning goofball created a mechanism by which callous indifference pregnancies became get-out-of-jail-free cards deserve it?

Knowingly bringing a child into the world being fully aware you are going to be separated is a strange ethical choice. But hers to make...

You don’t care about children’s suffering?

Well, I’m confused how it is cruel exactly for the state to continue to impose a sentence on a person that was already established before because that convicted person has abusively created a life with callous indifference to its fate in order to use it as a bargaining chip to avoid a fair and just conviction.

It was. If you’re going to pretend that there isn’t a distinction here, there’s no point in continuing a conversation in good faith.

Maybe it is a blatant attempt to stay out of jail. I don’t care about that.

Is that actually a serious question?
