Eh, so the chance went from microscopic to near zero (hey, anyone can get drunk and surprisingly stupid) means, hey, they've remained at statistically zero. So nothing has really changed; I say feel free to keep crushing on her.

Sexism too!

Uh, yeah?

I think I've only seen two of his, but in each case he gets a lot of detail right but seems to miss any kind of subtext. he puts a lot of stuff there and sometimes it really clicks, but it never means anything and when you walk out you think "eh, there were some good scenes" and then you're done. YMMV.

Luckily our state chose to be one of those "after it's pretty much decided" primaries so there's nothing I can do about anything except I guess give money.

I like the idea of network TV trying to broaden and grab cable/CW audiences, but so far, the numbers just don't seem to be there. Gotham and Supergirl, both *this close* to DC's two alpha properties get "eh" ratings for what has to be high costs, and SHIELD has hardly set the world on fire. It's nice that stuff like…

And difficult to watch because it's so damned dark.

Hey, why does Ron Howard get to cut in line?

While not the strongest song on the album, I've always loved Leper Messiah for being an actual anti-Jesus song. Sure, to a degree it's anti-televangelist, but you can read it as actually anti-Jesus. People write anti-religious songs all the time, and especially anti-US-evangelist songs. But "Jesus sucks" is pretty…

I can totally buy a hot chick-ugly dude (and come on, vice-versa) if they feel lived-in, like these were two people who got to know each other and found they really had a real thing. I'm sure it happens IRL all the time. But when it's just meet-cutes, quick pick-up and hook-ups, it feels like standard-issue…

"My dorky sister thinks playing a guitar is hard."

It's funny though; whenever any show gets worse than that, people show up to demand a new reviewer.

I'm getting a Liberace vibe.

Is it smugglers? I hope it's smugglers.

Blacks aren't necessarily liberals. They're Democrats, for purely political reasons (i.e., racism). Not sure about liberal Republicans, but I've known some very conservative Democrats in my time.

CVNs have 3000+ crews. Not quite a city, but a decent-sized town, with no kids or old people.

If we don't know how bad our system is, it'll increase our confidence, and as idiotic as it sounds, that will actually improve our economy!

Hard to tell as there was very little interest in non-officers on the shows. Sure, they had Chief O'Brien, but he seemed more an "honorary officer" than actually enlisted. But sure, like everything else, it was hand-waved away so society wouldn't seem too different.

Early (and at times late) TOS was so "make it up we we go along" that it's hard to consider it fully cannon. So they had Christmas parties, salaries, naked sexism, ship weapons where they had to call down to the firing stations for them to shoot, as if they were WW2 battleships where cannon rounds had to be…

Poverty is relative, but no practical hunger or untreatable cancer seems reasonable for sci-fi. And bigotry doesn't mean "current USA racial lines are eternal", which is nonsense. It just means "us" and "them" are considered to have unequal intrinsic value.
