No no - he clearly said the "Democrat Party" which, I can only assume, is a different party because it's a different name. I don't know which party it is, and obviously it hasn't survived to the present day. But it must be different.

COAIMWDKTTOALAPAFOTBCMA is totally different from MRAs! How dare you besmirch their name by comparing them to a different group composed of the same people!

"Stalin was a Demigod…"

The saddest part is that if the MRA dorks actually cared about the issues they talk about when pretending not to just be a group of misogynists who get off on harassing women they could just go ahead and join feminist organizations who have actually been objecting to that disparity since the seventies.

Oh bull. The MRA movement has made very clear that they have no interest whatsoever in anything other than viciously harassing women. The pretense that somehow they're involved in anything else, let alone anything socially beneficial is not convincing, it's not subtle and there's not an ounce cleverness to it.

Oh give it up it's obviously the same damn people.

I taught at a college level for a few years and my experience of it made me think that a good way to start off the term would be to make a rule that no one could fail an assignment and pass the course, and hand out a pass/fail exam on the first day that only had one question and it was: "Circle the letter C below" and…

It's also a bit embarrassing when someone forgets that science is one of the liberal arts.

For all the people go on about comic book characters looking silly in real life, Dr Strange is basically dressed the same as half the characters in Game of Thrones except with slightly brighter colors so I don't see how it's that impressively hard to replicate.

Oh man, I really, really hope that the solution to how Moriarty is on television is "secret twins".

No I mean that it's her interpretation because she doesn't realize, the way Kilgrave does, that she's immune to his powers. She's genuinely surprised by the fact that she can just hold on when he shouts "let go". And if she doesn't realize that she's immune to his commands then she must not be interpreting that…

To at least some extent, yeah. That doesn't seem inconsistent with how she feels about it, and being unclear (and freaked out about) how much she did purely because of what he said and how much of it was actually part of her or that she was responsible for is definitely something we see her having trouble with. (And…

No, that means she did one thing but didn't do the other. That doesn't mean that she went from "his powers work 100% on her" to "his powers are useless against her". It's entirely plausible that his powers were very weak against her prior to her killing Reva, and that his control was coming through mostly normal…

I don't know if it's fair to say (of the show) that the change happens in an instantaneous way the second after she was ordered to kill Reva. Jessica doesn't seem to have any idea that it happened, or at least not in any dramatic way. (She just looks dazed and like she isn't processing what Kilgrave is saying, which…

Because the fact that it's the first command that she disobeys does not mean that there was a sharp break there or that it was the first command that she was able to disobey. It just means that it was the first one she did (but ambiguously enough that she didn't even realize that she'd done it). She could have been…

Yeah - I thought the problem that made it go to hell really quickly was that Jessica got caught sneaking around high up there way, way earlier than they intended.

I can think of one (purple) person who though Jessica was under Kilgrave's control, at least a little bit.

I think there's something really nice about the ending to the series because, kind of appropriately for how things have gone in it generally, Jessica very much does not get what she wants or what she's been trying to get the entire season. Her goals have always been a bit murky - mostly to herself. And (partially)…

I choose to believe that the father is not entirely clear on how Kilgrave's powers work. He knows enough to know what sort of caused them, and to fiddle around making drugs that will affect them, sure, but that's not the same as a full understanding of what they're doing and how.

Oh boo hoo. "Actual bits of the actual batman comics don't count! Waahh!"
