Fun fact: the guy who directed that episode also directed No Holds Barred. Starring Hulk Hogan.

I tech for a morning show on the weekends, anchored by a woman and with a female meteorologist. They get tweets during the breaks about their clothing, ranging from pearl-clutching conservatives complaining about a lack of sleeves (this is in Florida, where it’s always hot) to creepers making really inappropriate…

Agreed. Her judo is sick, but her striking has never been great. It went from terrible to okay, but the crap her camp was feeding her about how good her boxing looked was basically fraud.

Yeah, but 2 seasons of Ben Browder was kinda great.

He was also in seasons 2-5 of Stargate: Atlantis, which has significantly less rape and gore.

Local news is reporting that Governor Voldemort (Rick Scott) has added Florida to this list, dammit.

I think SG-1’s Vala beamed a bad guy into space once. Don’t know why it’s not done more often.

I hope she’s disappointed, then. I don’t know enough about the area to know for sure. I’m going up there for the first time around Thanksgiving.

Oh, the things you couldn’t see on smaller, standard-def TVs in the 1990s. Like stand-ins and stunt doubles. So many shows lied about their stars doing their own stunts, which is painfully obvious with modern technology.

Season 1 of Angel on Netflix is in widescreen, and was never supposed to be. It was shot for (and aired in) 4:3. There’s even a cameraman visible in one of the scenes. If it’s post-season 1, then I got nothing.

I know nothing about Bloomington, but my little sister just moved there. We’re from the metro-Atlanta area, and she apparently moved to Indiana because she’s incredibly racist and just wants to be around white people. I have no idea how we’re related, sometimes.

A disappearing middle-class is contributing to this, too, I believe. Stores that market to the 99% aren’t doing so hot, because fewer people have money to spend on non-necessities.

14 years ago, I worked at an Old Navy in Orlando. This was before they’d really started regionalizing their stock, and we’d received a fuck-ton of sweaters because they were the big item to sell. This was in August, when it was easily in the high 90s, if not topping 100. My manager bumped the A/C down to 50. Those…

The original series did an episode on facilitated communication being junk in 1995 - Season 5, Episode 19, “Cruel & Unusual”. I don’t think it had the rape aspect, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the episode.

When I was four, and my mother was pregnant with my sister, she just gave me a copy of “A Child Is Born” by Lennart Nilsson. I had the technicalities down and don’t ever remember not knowing what traditional PIV sex was. The other stuff, however - foreplay and “non-traditional” sex - I had to learn about that on my…

My mom was convinced we’d all have to get a barcode tattoo that the government would use to track us, or something? And it’s somehow connected to the Mark of the Beast (because Clinton was the anti-christ, at the time). I think Sliders even had an episode with a similar premise, but the memory’s hazy because I only…

The rest of the campus was fairly co-ed. It was the Chi-O house with the strict rules, as a result (they claimed) of the Bundy killings. For the rest of the campus, “Man on the Hall” tended to be used to embarrass little brothers (as siblings do).

Same here - no men in the Chi O house except male relatives (and you had to yell “Man on the Hall”), and even then you had to let the other sisters know in advance, and usually only on moving day. This was at a small women’s college in North Georgia, which did allow boyfriends in the dorms.

My parents didn’t know how the channel block worked, and were really pissed when I blocked them from some network they really liked watching (I don’t remember which one it was) - just to be a jackass. But they also didn’t know how to program the VCR and were really appreciative when I set it for them, so it balanced…
