Or the White House.

There was something similar in the film "About time", where the hero had to be careful when he traveled back in time because if he changed something before the conception of his child, it would change the outcome of the pregnancy (i.e. the child would be different each time).

Well, until Ivanka decides to run in 2024.

Upon further inquiry, I found out that this expression doesn't mean what we think it means : ""The exception [that] proves the rule" is a saying whose meaning has been interpreted or misinterpreted in various ways. Its true meaning, or at least its original, is that the presence of an exception applying to a specific…

I might be wrong, of course, since I didn't really check a dictionary or anything, I'd be really interested by the origin of that expression, since it exists in both languages.

I watched it a few weeks ago, and let me tell you it's a great film, and I believe adults get more out of it than kids. It's not dumbed-down at all despite appearances, and it's a very touching story. Go watch it, it's only an hour-long anyway.

I had a teacher that smiled the same way (minus the "dramatic" makeup), and we always found it creepy, because he would only ever smile with his mouth, not his eyes.

I do think in this instance "prove" really means "prove", because the expression exists in French as "l'exception qui confirme la règle" (the exception that confirms the rule). Your problem is with the absurdity of the expression itself (I don't have that problem, because French is my mother tongue, and every rule has…

I know I'm a bit late, but how can Anthony be traveling to 1969? I thought people couldn't go back to times where they already exist.

Maybe that's the key to a big reveal : make it look as if this isn't the kind of show with a big conspiracy.

Even after the twist I hadn't made the connection until now. And French is my mother-tongue, it's in my cultural background goddammit! Thank you.

I don't know, because that's not as if the format's been very stable until now. Watching the first season I felt they were changing the concept every two weeks and people were always wondering how they were going to last more than one season. But that's what I appreciate with this show. They didn't wait for three…

Any show running for 23 seasons would belong in the Bad Place, sorry. Except maybe for Deirdre and Margaret.

Did you abstain from writing a facebook comment about Carrie Fisher's death?

I love that kind of manipulation. It is very subtle, and very effective, and you're not mad at the writers for turning you into a fool.

What bothered me with the WW twist was that it felt cheap. When I realized there was this theory about the Black man and multiple timelines, I didn't want it to be true, because the way the cutting "lied" to the audience (making you believe scenes were following each other when they weren't for example) felt like…

I would add that when you've got too many rapes and deaths, they lose emotional impact.

I think that, like all good liars, he used lots of elements of truth to build his Bad Place.

Exactly. I came across that title before watching the last episode ; I was still very much surprised.

As well as every female I think. Tahani makes me seriously reevaluate my sexual orientation.
