Thanks. My brain hurts now.

I dunno. Did you, as a mature, intelligent adult, choose to publicly pledge to enter into an intimate and exclusive relationship with your sister, the foundation of which is honesty and mutual trust in all things, from shared finances and plans for the future to emotional companionship and bedroom activities? If you…

I have no opinion on the morality of monogamy. If both parties to a marriage openly and honestly negotiate an alternate arrangement, I'm not one to judge. If the allegations about Whedon's behavior of long-sustained infidelity, lies, and by extension possible exposure to STIs are true, however… yeah, I have a theory…

While there are absolutely cases in which professional power dynamics complicate (at best) the question of consent, there are also absolutely cases in which employees willingly make advances on superiors in order to get ahead. Having a sustained affair with someone over whom you hold job authority is always…

Dude, did you even read my comment? I'm not looking to "disqualify" Whedon as a feminist; rather, I'm suggesting he might be a fairly crappy one. (The hint there was the part where I asked "maybe [he's] a pretty crappy feminist?") Like I said, I don't view feminism as an absolute, black/white status. (That hint was…

@ Gentilman: Right, it's a case-by-case thing, and the particulars are unknowable to the outsider likes of us.

Indeed. There were a lot of women cheering in my theater when she was wiping out those Germans, who were A) by historical definition, not Nazis, and B) probably conscripts, and C) very possibly teenagers, or very young men. So, while I wanted to join in the fun, I couldn't, quite.

A woman who was apparently too intellectually childish to ask Steve Trevor about, I dunno, all of human history on a sailing trip from the Mediterranean to the heart of London that apparently only takes a few hours, and then goes to war and kills people based on her literally ignorant views.

"Christ, what an asshole." <— Don't you mean "predator"?

On the one hand, I totally see your point. On the other hand, if you choose to marry a woman, and then choose to stay married to that woman while you choose to harm her by secretly cheating on her, and if feminism means respecting women, and you're drastically disrespecting the one woman you've publicly pledged to…

Yep. Taking off those sunglasses might help you read more clearly…

And that has to do with the culpability of children who are born to family members… how?

A 'C' traditionally means average, which is more or less synonymous with "decent." A 'B' should indicate something good; an 'A', something excellent. After four 13-hour seasons of television, if the best this team-up pilot can muster is "decent", sounds to me as though it fully deserves its C.

Yes, but Lucas never intended ANH to be the first episode chronologically, even though the narrative background was always in flux and subject to revision, whereas with TPM he very much did.

What I don't get is, seeing as that was the very first Episode, why have a crawl at all? How about telling an actual beginning story in the movie, like the vast majority of non-sequels do?

Counterpoint: 1) yes, it is, and 2) oops, my bad. :P

What? "The Call" is in no way about ghosting. It's about being dumped because you cheated on your girlfriend after calling her and telling her you'll be out late and to just turn in without you. The music video is a Fincher/Matrix-esque take on a female assassin hunting the group. None of this is about ghosting.

So… Netflix has two seasons of a series (or two series, depending on one's point of view) spinning off of an obscure movie from the early 90s, but doesn't have the movie itself? How much more money could the rights to the movie itself be? And if not there, where are the vast majority of Netflix subscribers who've…

There's "agape":
