a few thoughts on this week:
1) saying that someone is the "original" implies that young kendall should look exactly like the female clones, which S would have to have noticed. unless they did some serious cutting and pasting to kendall's DNA. maybe so, because the woman in the photo looked nothing like sarah.
2) i'm

can eddie be reborn through the blackhole event as a meta-human? i want him back.

here's something else that's important for understanding what's going on in the show: coding != (does not equal) software development. cameron may be amazing at coding, but no girl or guy can make a game system that just about no one has done before on their own. cameron has her own skillset, which allowed her to

seth green looks like early jeff, even sitting in the same place in his corner. the bunny ears are reminiscent of the cat ears jeff wore in that anti-drug play episode.

mine too. but it's a very difficult subject to understand in our time. we just gotta keep the discussion going.

one argument is that it trivializes rape. i think that's a definitely a valid one, but i don't wholeheartedly agree with the verdict when it comes to sansa and ramsey (the plot isn't over yet). the other is that the show "owes Sansa" which I think is whiny and childish. GoT has NEVER paved a smooth road for good

no. sex by coercion is also rape. jamie says no when it's about choosing the manner of his death. if he'd said yes, you might be right, because randall is trying to buy him at that point. harm would have come to jamie either way. but when he threatens claire's safety, it's randall introducing the harm and backing

that's an episode called "history of extraterrestrial abductions"

i like how abed was behind multiple cams at once (like in the beginning of the scene he's with annie in the room and then he's all of a sudden outside of the room telling britta to stop jimming) and then is somehow at the wedding podium before the rest even show up in the back.

that paraphrase sounds like abed talking.

is it????

i think the end is supposed to be a joke, but it felt weirdly sincere.
i thought it was still up in the air about frankie's sexuality, and the comment was supposed to suggest she was either into jeff or into annie. but with the annie's missing lover thing, i think the show is starting to hint that annie has the

i was instantly invested in the pit master. something about his face said "not an extra" to me.
shipping olenna and high sparrow!
what annoys me about this show sometimes is that it brings in elements that are so familiar that they don't feel inventive. high sparrow is the spanish inquisition, homosexuality is a sin,

i said nothing about morality either. seduction is sexual enticement for sure, but it's much more about physicality and fulfilling fantasies of the other person than about intimacy…and intimacy and vulnerability are the meat of love and the logical development for gilly and sam. so my point is, writers had to create a

a) it wasn't immediate.
b) some tender and intimate conversation happened after they were both made extremely vulnerable in front of each other. more importantly than sam having saved gilly from rape, they communicated how strongly they felt about each other through words AND action
c) and neither of them did that FOR

did you do stand up? is that how you became a custodian?

eh. finding sexual partners is easy and cheap.

it will make any woman who gets it sterile. castors were supposed to be some sort of super human originally but coady is finding a new purpose for a misfolded protein that can be transmitted (sounds like a prion to me). if castor wanted to annihilate a population, they'd get a small handful of castor boys to troll the

orphan black really knows how to do a dance party…
never cared much for paul either, but this episode…what i would give to hold his hand during that escape sequence.

i think she's in her and baelish's plan for the long haul, so she is playing along, as terrible as it is, to make it work. but yea i agree, the rape doesn't really enhance her storyline.
