Anyone remember the grown-up Wednesday Adams Web series? I was hoping this would be more like that--with Wednesday and her killer dead-pan navigating through the everyday world. Wednesday at Hogwarts lite just makes it all a bit twee. The Addams Family, in all its previous incarnations, was a satire of American family…

A professional writer would. Ergo, despite a few publications, Larson isn’t. 

She had iffy credibility back then and she has iffy credibility now. She denied the rape under oath and couldn’t remember when or where it happened. There’s always been a reasonable doubt issue with her and that’s why it didn’t add up back in the 1990s and why Kenneth Starr didn’t pursue it.

Farrow acts as if no one…

Tenar is white. Ged looks Native American. His buddy, whose name I forget, is black. The king/prince is brown. 

I see, so the activists have to be the right color for you. You really, really don’t see what’s wrong with your attitude here? 

The character wasn’t trans--she was a bull dyke lesbian. No surgery, no hormones, no legal changing of her name. This is an attempt to apply modern sensibilities and ideas on someone post-mortem.

Trolling’s part of that. Ravelry got hacked some years ago. Yesterday all sorts of never-used accounts were suddenly active objecting to the new policy. 

Yeah, it seemed to be a reaction to the pussyhats being such a successful symbol during the Women’s March. Thanks to Ravelry, thousands of knitters had access to the hat patterns and all those hats took everyone by surprise. I noticed the dreadful (as in ugly as well as offensive) hat patterns by “Deplorable Knitter”…

No, nothing will ever be as bad as the BSG ending. This was just sort of “Ehhh”--okay thematically, not well done dramatically.

I think they (Bran, Sansa, etc.) wanted an end to the Targaryon line—they were basically too powerful with their ability to create dragons. Add in Jon’s warging abilities, and you’ve got someone whose genetics make for too great a concentration of power. North of the Wall, even if he does have kids, they’ll be…

I’m convinced that GRRM intended to end The Winds of Winter with the Battle of Winterfell and then the rise and fall of Dany would be in a Dream of Spring. The last three episodes seem like a single book/a season of their own.

I don’t hate the outcome; but the narrative pacing got wayyy off. I’ve thought for several…

I was at SLC earlier—and there were boyfriends who stayed over, but not this live-in kind of thing. I suspect a fair amount of this can be laid on Dean Green who, given what alumni are saying among themselves, didn’t seem to give a damn when it came to student safety.

That said, SLC has always drawn a number of…

The dean in question suddenly retired in November. And we alumni all would like some answers to this as well. 

What I love about the Good Place is that they were clearly very open in their casting (the supporting characters weren’t big names with long resumes) and then, once they cast, they made a point of building characters around those actors--i.e. a number of actors could have played a philosophy professor, but once that…

I’m glad you said this. I’m trying to like NuGreg because I know the show was in a bind, but he’s boyish and lightweight next to old Greg—just does’t have the darkness, masculinity and complexity of original Greg.

Damn you, Santino Fontana.

Can the sanctimonious stupid-white-people garbage. Trump has attacked Warren as a liar for years about this. She’s defended herself by showing that she and her family told the truth.

The holier-than-thou PC thing you’re doing here is tiresome. 

No. Actually, 5 percent is greater than 1 percent. Five times greater.

Also, the average is 0.18 percent—or two-tenths of a percent. So, Warren’s would be 20 times greater.

Look, I know you idiots get your talking points from the same place, but would it kill you to take a remedial math class before spouting your…

Yep, I’m pretty sure they originally a remake of Buffy, but in more color—but the reaction to that was bad enough that they went the reboot route instead.

Reboot’s the right direction—respect people’s fondness for the original actors and characters. Star Trek has done this fairly well—at least on television—Kirk was…

Lucy was successful and Johannsen carried it. 

You’re assuming the entire LGBT community will be united in a boycott of this. They won’t. Gay men won’t really care and a lot of lesbians love ScarJo.

The vast bulk of would-be movie goers won’t be paying attention. Since most films fail, odds are this one will too, but ScarJo will fill a few more seats on opening…
