From etymonline for hot, “The association of hot with sexuality dates back to c.1500.” Also, “Sense of "exciting, remarkable, very good" is 1895 … Hot stuff
for anything good or excellent is by 1889.” The etymonline entry isn't
clear about the dates of “warm” or “heated” meanings, but those
apparently predate the…

" He’s the saintly dad, his drinking problem cured within the running
time of am episode, while Rebecca’s big plotline in the present involves
her creating a deep rift with Randall that hasn’t fully been addressed
yet."

Sounds like a fun evening!

That's exactly it.

Where can I see these overproduced Italian pornos WITH the porn?? Umm, a friend wants to know…

I loved Fahrenheit/Indigo until the crazy last act, as others said. I haven't played Beyond Two Souls, but I liked an awful lot of Heavy Rain as well, I hate to admit, though it also had a lot more parts that didn't make a lick of sense. I will say this about both games—sequences from them have definitely stuck with…

Exactly. I admit I'm not a huge comic book show guy, anyway, but I gave Shield a good year and a half. It certainly got better. I liked moments of it an awful lot. But I fell behind, school and work got in the way, and shows I enjoyed a Hell of a lot more and it got to the point where I realized I simply didn't…

"One thing I just cannot understand is why people refuse to watch a good
show and just watch mediocrity. Are they against admitting they were
wrong and not into enjoying things? Or are they just teenagers who love
to watch young, attractive people make out once in a while….. I don't
understand…"

I'm gay—but it didn't really bug me. It seemed completely in character with how Kevin awkwardly (and in a way that HE thinks is good naturedly) deals with things like that. Maybe I'm too complacent, but if I was in a situation like that in real life I'd probably just roll my eyes, and make a snarky comment back, but…

Are they having a difficult time dealing with a bisexual character? WIlliam made it clear he was bi. He's in a relationship with a man and that's the only relationship Randall (and Kevin) have seen him with so—while perhaps unfortunate—it's completely realistic that they'd just mention (especially in the way they…

I'm gay but, especially as mentioned, within character, I didn't have a problem with how Kevin acted. It was rude, of course, but it was obvious he doesn't have an issue with it, he's just crappy in how he brings up anything like that.

The scene mainly just bugged me because surely he knew Sloane was hanging around the theatre, and it wasn't a private place to have a conversation… Yes, I know this is a drama (and soap) cliche—and there's some truth to it (one doesn't always think about things like that when they start an emotional talk) but… ech

I wouldn't really say "exclusively" but yeah—quite a shift.

I am sure so many children of the 80s fell into the same situation as me where they or some well meaning relative sees a bunch of used Archie magazines and buys them, not realizing they were the Spire ones.

Umm wow. Now I have to know what this was.

I think it's meant to be more that up to now Will hasn't really been comfortable enough with being gay to even really handle being flirted with so overtly or any of that—he went from coming out right into a relationship. I've see. It happen with guys who come out later in life all the time. But it still was weird…

Maybe we should start using Leno's confirmation of what "gay face" is when judging if actors are doing a good job plays gay characters, as well.

They didn't really have more music so far—though they had a lot of plot to clean up. I *did* notice though that when they featured a song, for the most part they let it all play out—a few times with some montage scenes thrown in, but no dialogue interruptions, etc, which is a marked difference from the more recent…

He sure does! Prob why they hired him (and he is a decent singer—but mostly the crying).

That was my thought, too. It reads more like she was aware that there were people who hated thirtysomething and is taking them at their word (nowhere does she mention how she felt about the show—just how Jay Leno did). I admit, that complaint about thirtysomething being whiny always bugged me (though, when I…
