I totally agree about Aghdashloo. I've liked her in other things but she has always struck me— and continues to strike me in The Expanse—as a more frail, unreliable type of character. Chrisjen in the books is a tough as nails, straight talking mean old politician.

Indonesian Proposal

No, but I bet he did carry a 32 pack of AA batteries in his bag until his mom got him a Nomad.

For all the hailing of FMV in Her Story, it's more a game of words—picking up on cues in a bit of dialog and feeding that back into the search engine to try and suss out the full content of the interview. Viva Seifert does a phenomenal job of acting, of course, but I never felt like I had to interpret what she was…

(Utter silence as the shockwave flattens buildings to the outskirts of Neo Tokyo)

The links between prog rock and cringy 80s are deep (glares at Genesis and Asia).

That whole period of 1998-2005 where suddenly we had to pay attention to Beck, The Flaming Lips, and Radiohead was super weird.

He's the father *SLAP* He's the son *SLAP*

Maybe they can find Agent Carter, Ethan Carter, Aaron Carter, or Sheriff Carter instead?

Can we also throw Utada Hikaru up here as well? With fairly flawless English and a huge stream of hits in Japan—some of which were popularish in the US as just simple imports, its amazing that she's failed at least twice to release a crossover album worth a damn.

Every little counts, royalties accrue,
I think you are a pig, I think I'm gonna sue,
I guess I should have known, I'd end up on my own,
Every shilling counts, from when I was with you…

So THAT's what they mean by "deconstruction."

All three Pacific subplots just talkin' bout Artz.

I enjoyed Porcelain but Play was just not my jam. I was super on board for Everything is Wrong and Animal Rights but Play was so boring and dry.

I think a lot of people miss that Gwen's early look was equally influenced by Latina chola chic. A lot of the LA bands (ok Sublime and No Doubt) put on airs of contemporary Latino style as part of the 90s push to combine disparate styles (they're a third wave ska/funk band, we're a metal flamenco hybrid etc). At the…

Wouldn't it be ironic if he were iron deficient though…

OH YEAHHH! But yeah, totally agree. This is like the third time I've started FF8 (and maybe farthest I've gotten yet though I saw my friend play pretty regularly). but I've always loved how weird the systems of the game are. That I feel compelled to draw for an hour every time I meet a monster with new spells and…

Oh man, I finally got my computer set up and splurged on the $80 Japanese pricing for MGS 5. After playing for 6 hours I am totally enthralled…with DOA5. I started playing as a quick break from all the stealth desert-ing and turned out to be the perfect no commitment bout of silliness I needed.

So, if we could add the stipulation that we could have anybody's full life (as opposed to just jumping in now) I'd choose Chrisopher Lee in a heartbeat. Not all of it sound fun but tell me this isn't the mark of a life well lived:
