Now, I've got no problems with anal sex (let's just leave it at that, yes?—digression on this point can lead nowhere good)

Isn't that the same thing?

Ew. Is that still a thing?

Yeah, well. Some people are still too poor for broadband and legit personal web hosting. Pity.

I think that Comedy Central got custody of a lot of the stand-up specials when Viacom bought HBO out of the Comedy Partners deal.

There certainly seemed to be potential for that as well.

…wanted to sabotage the marriage because it would lead to Mina being taken away to India and thus effectively being lost…

She at least has the "decency" to feel bad about it later.

The cursed artifact is a tried-and-true way to go with it. As far as the rift between the girls, I'm kind of in a weird place.

That particular element of the narrative, yes. The setup from the pilot forward is that Vanessa has done something completely unforgivable to Mina, and it can't be that Vanessa killed Mina. With the generally exploitative undercurrent of sexuality, the trope title would be "Sister-Gurl, I Took Yo Man." The jealousy…

What is getting old, though, is the trope-yness of it all. Of course Vanessa was going to fuck Mina's fiancee; that was clear from when they were still children. That was clearly as inevitable as Ethan hooking up with Dorian (after the halfway point of the "Demimonde" episode, anyway). From there, everything else…

Or the possibility of mommies, seeing how all the mothers seem to be literally dropping like flies…

Yes, but mine is funnier; burnt offerings sprinkled over a laptop running Microsoft Word.

As I said above, fixation.

But thinking about it, it would make sense within the context of things that the demon would present Peter to Sir Malcolm as a child, because that's clearly how Malcolm would have thought of him.

If she’s just getting around to telling Mina this story now, what has she been writing all this time?

Oh, very true. Particularly when the snacks run out.

I don't want the facial scars, but I do want those red Masai warrior braids.

Basically, Sembene's face marks are more disturbing.

Yeah, like that's going to save Brona from the horrible life she's already had.
