I hate this question because I have quite a few of these, but the one that sticks out the most is Josh Ritter. He was introduced to me by my only really long-term girlfriend, but oddly it's not her that's the source of the negative association. About a year after that relationship ended, my next girlfriend and I

Well that's strange.

I honestly think it's more than just his inability to comprehend the future or know the outcome. Even if Ned, Dougal, etc. knew they were going to be on the losing end of the fight, it wouldn't keep them from fighting. The fight itself is more important to them than just the outcome.

The "devastated by her disappearance" strikes me as odd, even when Claire thinks about it on the show. It assumes that time has continued to pass in the "present" while Claire is in the past, but that would only make sense if when (if?) she returns, it's to a point in the "future" that's the same amount of time after

Also, saying Ran is an adaptation of King Lear isn't really accurate.

I'm just funnin' with people anyway. I tend to scan the comments, and it was amusing how many people were pointing it out. Then I posted my first jab, came back later and saw even more people had pointed it out.

Great point, Rupert Sanders and Margot Robbie are clearly the Akira Kurosawa and Tatsuya Nakadai of our generation. (Conversely, you could argue that Shirow Masamune isn't on the same level as Shakespeare, but I would mention how overrated I think Shakespeare is.)

Oh, you're fine, you got here first! I'm talking to all the other people who thought, "I have to be the first person to know they got this wrong, so I should definitely tell them without even briefly glancing at the comments!"

But is she Australian? I can't seem to get a clear answer from this site's commenters and it's clearly the most important aspect of the story!

Anyone know if she's Australian? Because that would make this all okay.

I eventually figured that's what it was as well, but it still doesn't help me parse it when I hear it and the error that pops up in my brain makes me cringe.

I can definitively say after playing it for many hundreds of hours that it is indeed a bad game, but still a lot of fun.

I'm still playing Watch_Dogs, so yes, yes I have.

Oddly enough that's why I love them so. If I thought they weren't being intentionally silly, maybe I would find them cringe-worthy.

The one that springs to mind first is one of my favorite songs of all time: "Car" by Built to Spill. There's a single line that is completely unparsable in my brain, let alone understandable, and for me it throws a cringe-worthy wrench into the song.

I agree with that. Voice-overs only bother me when they're a play-by-play or a recap of what we've seen; they should add color. When they're like the former, it makes the show seem like its uncomfortable with silence, like it's on a first date, awkwardly trying to keep its date's attention.

I guess some people have never been fired from a job because they were either still too drunk or hungover to show up before noon.

This is exactly what I have as well. Quick flashes, not even really ideations, that seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes I reflexively shake my head when I have one, like I'm saying, "Come on, brain, what are you doing?"

Interesting, I didn't catch that at all. I think I tune out during the Tom and Christine segments for some reason. There's something about their storyline that's just failed to grab me.

This might have been mentioned elsewhere and I missed it, but the connection between the magazine and Kevin, on the surface at least, seems to be the dog. The cover image is of a standing black bear in Yellowstone, and the caption reads: "Beware of bears! Ignoring park rules, sightseers corner a hungry animal. Nine
