I think the point is to reveal inner conflict and hypocrisy. When we first see her, she's asked some guy to do something sexually that made him really uncomfortable. Then we see her go after a webcam business that employs her sister, possibly because it employs her sister, frustrated that she can't shut them down…

Plus, he still hasn't cut his hair, and Melisandre is at the house.

I went to grad school there. Everyone I know from there has pictures of themselves or a friend groping the Bewitched statue. Good times.

Oh of course, and they still are completely different operating systems. But I can use Microsoft Windows without buying any other hardware from Microsoft.

If you don't wizard, you're streets behind.

You gotta watch this synced up with Darkside of the Moon.

Having a chip on your shoulder for something that happened when you were 12 seems . . . odd.

gotta use both attacks before the war ends or get kicked.

It's not The Learning Channel anymore. It's just TLC.
