The national Cable Show didn’t end until 2015, although it changed its name a couple years before that to INTX - the Internet and Television Expo.  It was barely an echo of its former glory by then, though.

It’s probably at least 60% because I’m both hormonal and really stressed at work these days, but I was sobbing through the second half of this episode.  Cathartic indeed.

Thank you! Like, seriously, what exactly are they supposed to do with control of literally no component of the federal government? What are the tools at there disposal beyond “decrying the people in charge of the system” and raising awareness of the issue (which I think they’ve actually been doing really well)? I…

If they really want to do a new TV show in the Buffyverse, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Fray comics brought to life.

I’m thinking they will accidentally cause mayhem in the Bad Place and somehow upend the entire binary system. Clearly the afterlife is overdue for a revolution.

Eh, I got engaged in less than 6 months, although we didn’t tell anyone right away and didn’t actually get married for 18 months. We’re still going strong after 4.5 years. As someone mentioned below, it’s easier when you’re older and have a good sense of what you want out of life, including career, relationship, and…

Kate seems to be handling it pretty well, which is not to say that it’s not extremely difficult, and I’m sure it takes a lot of work, emotional support, and a certain personality type to survive it.

That song absolutely nailed the euphoria and relief of having a new diagnosis. I am always so amazed at this show’s ability to accurately convey such real and complicated emotions and experiences that aren’t often portrayed on screen.

My take is that she was watching basically experiencing what the theme song is supposed to represent. She watched a bunch of different music videos for songs about crazy women as a way of processing her experience, and came away confused by the mixed messages.

I found the whole thing kind of horrifying because without the context of their backstory it would be easy to read as a a long term kidnapping situation with all of the emotional manipulation and abuse that entails. Even knowing the context, it’s borderline and made me extremely uncomfortable, and not just in a “two…

They’re both terrible and have no place in a good fruit salad.

I love TV and I watch a lot of great TV. I’m sure that I have on multiple occasions declared that some of episode of some show is the best I’ve ever seen. But right now, in this moment, this is the best for me. I can’t stop thinking about it and I still feel that kick in my chest. So good.

I love that one of the books on her shelf is “Me Meow Pretty Someday.”

I think he might have were it not for finding out that she had kept her apartment the whole time without telling him. That’s a huuuuuge red flag.

I don’t think “competent, ambitious, and general not evil” = “paragon of virtue.” She’s obviously as flawed as the rest of them but in a completely different way. I personally find her to be the most compelling character on the show, and her episodes are always my favorite.

Are the Sokovia Accords for anyone with super powers? I thought it was just for the Avengers. It's not like the superhero registration act in the comics.
Plus, neither Black Widow nor Hawkeye technically have any powers, and they were still pressured to sign, right?

I think, but I'm not absolutely sure, that they always make Jessica's feats of strength look extremely easy - like she can pick up the end of a car as it if weighed just a couple pounds - but Luke looks like he's straining a bit to do something similar. I could be completely wrong about that, though.

I feel like it would be very hard for a pirate to avoid the sun completely.

But that almost makes it worse. Was his plan to beat up a bunch of business men? I don't really see how that helps his cause.

Just realized my original comment contained mild spoilers and I'm too lazy to look up the exact code for spoiler tags.
