Well, I'm sure you have plenty of resources to find those real numbers. But even so, it's those SJW parents who buy this stuff for their kids, so perhaps their voices should be given more weight. If they're demanding this company stop being so sexist with their merchandising so they can give it more money, the company…

I think in the particular case of skipping out on a lead female character to include the lead (but secondary) male character not only in several of their toys for the film, but also in a group of the franchise's main characters, can account for more than a little outrage. The fact that it was a lady shouldn't go…

As someone who wasn't a fan of season two, this seems like a reasonable excuse as to why it felt like such a clusterfuck. But I feel like it's letting Pizzolatto off too easily, he could have gone the Hawley way and gotten help for season two, but he didn't. The show was lost without its buddy cop appeal to balance…

Funny, she was the only thing in this season that worked for me. I didn't think she could pull it off and was impressed with the performance given.

I really think you're giving them far too much credit. Which is nice of you.

Well, there's a reason they're not in the front row.

…Did it? I barely followed Star Wars leading up to its release, but did everyone not just assume that the main character would be a jedi?

"Let's get BB and bake some cookies for the boys!"

Which is why Chuck's being neutered in the later seasons (you can call it character growth all you want, they simply didn't know what do do with him or Nate anymore) was twice as bad because it made Blair more boring by extension as well.

There are dozens of us!

Absolutely. It's odd how often abusive relationships on shows can be romanticized without the least bit of self-awareness.

The first season really was delicious in that guilty pleasure kind of way, if I believed in such things. Like Empire, Scandal, or House of Cards, though like these shows, this one quickly began to spin its wheels in its following seasons. But I'll be generous and give both Gossip Girl and House of Cards until season…

One of my family friends was a huge collector of them as well, the real deal kind of thing. When she died of lung cancer her husband donated them all to the children's cancer ward. Which was incredibly considerate and possibly a tiny bit shortsighted of him, but no doubt those kids were thrilled.

You laugh now, but my plain white bear and the one that reminds me of Abigail Breslin (not so much the way it looks, but its energy), will be worth dozens of dollars one day. Dozens!

Some of TNS' regulars are more egregious about this than others (Albanese especially). But depending on the guests they have, I wish they'd have those round tables last more than one segment because they can be intensely interesting when they have people who actually give a damn about the topics they're discussing.

I was a pretty big fan of Cara Delevingne as the Non-Stop-Pop DJ.

I'm with you. Can we use the excuse that we were too young to be introduced to many of these songs through traditional ways?

You have to promise to take a shot of whiskey and spit on the floor every ten minutes if you sign up. Cross your heart and hope to die promise. These manly men don't fuck around.

"But how did the ghost leave footprints and dox Diana if it claims to love women?"

Don't you worry about full regime, let me worry about blank.
