Yeah, the academic and organizational meaning is entirely different. I'm going more with the social media language semantics. (e.g. hitting my low-brow stride)

I perceived (my opinion, not fact) that the group only seemed to hesitate over whether they "should kill the goat" because "Sandra wants it" and "you don't want to piss Sandra off" logic. No other reason apart from Sandra was brought up as a reason for killing the goat, once the goat and kid were found.

Yeah. I came into Survivor late and sort of binge-watched several seasons before watching this one live, including Heroes vs Villains with Sandra.

Because people respond more positively to cute, fluffy animals.

100% agree.

I know. You're going to Bambi that baby? NOPE. And also - she brings nothing to the game anymore but fear. Everyone else was unanimous (seemingly) on not killing the goat, and their only compulsion to do it seemed to be fear of not offending Sandra. If everyone disagrees with her and fears her - get rid of her. On the…

Yeah, I immediately recognized they were setting up Beauty and the Beast. The name "Belle", the neck choker that character always wears (which ends up awesomely becoming a dog's collar), Belle being the beauty to Cricket's beast and recognizing his inner beauty; and particularly her early reference to having no…

I think he's probably taken too many Red Pills or spent too long on reddit's worst subs.

Yeah. It fits in with psychologists' theory that people are more likely to find each other attractive after they've been frightened and adrenalin is rushing. (Admittedly based primarily on a test where they had subjects walk across a rickety bridge and then assess other people's attractiveness while still in this…

So I've read. But that could still happen, right?

Don't tell me what I can and can't do!

I had to actually answer that question in the middle of this episode for someone else watching.

Yeah. I remember that Hannibal episode. I remember speaking up against its overextension into artsy imagery and feeling like I needed to duck before people threw stones. Fans on The AV Club were really, really accepting of its flaws.

After watching this show, I've decided I will definitely not marry someone who will beat up me and my kids after all.

Yeah, you're awesome, Carol, but you're toeing the line too much here.

I see what JaneSays2 is saying, though. I had this little hope inside of me that the camera kept cutting to the rickety tower as a kind of obvious reminder that "this is why we're fixing the walls and stuff", along with maybe a bit of thematic "we're broken but still standing" kind of hokeyness…. I didn't think the…

*slaps hand on way past, not going to leave you hanging after that one*

I usually read everything as sarcasm unless informed otherwise.

Let's not forget how shitty the note was Glenn found, too. I wouldn't have taken it back with me if I was Michonne, either. Your last dying words to your wife are basically, "If you don't see me I didn't make it"? I think she'll gather that from context. How about, "I love you. Carry on" or "I love you. And if you…

Totally.
