Go home, Louis, you're drunk.

What a mess, Janeane. What a mess.

I totally agree with you. I’m at the tail end of GenX and I’m a Black woman. The ironic or casual racism and sexism I heard from “alternative” white folks was right in line with that.

“... if nothing else, care about his daughters. If nothing else, if you can find no compassion for him, which I think you should, think about how his daughters, who hear all of this stuff, feel.”

“I think he has suffered and when he performs at the Comedy Cellar and people get all irate, if you... if nothing else, care about his daughter”

Actually, I hate to say it but you’re absolutely right. In retrospect the goth / punk / counterculture crowds I ran with in the 90's ALWAYS had shitty toxic guys in them (usually with anger issues) but were always protected by the community because ‘they had a good heart.’ Weirdly they were often DJs.

It’s absolutely hilarious to me that comedians, who demand that nothing should be held sacred for the sake of comedy, clearly view the environments in which they perform to be more or less... sacred spaces, pristine areas in which they should be allowed to perform art free of criticism, rebuke, censure, what have you…

I can.

Not just one daughter, but two daughters. There’s clearly a bonus multiplier for extra daughters when using them as a shield against sexual harassment claims. If he’d had thirty-seven daughters, we’d all have to apologize to him.

Whipping his dick out was bad enough, but he also actively tried to ruin the careers of those women and anyone who tried to report on it as well. People don’t talk about that enough. Like so much fucking hand-wringing over a guy’s “ruined reputation” and literally nothing about the reps of all the women he crushed…

A good way for comedians to be left alone is to not have your manager book gigs at comedy clubs. It works; ask Dave Chapelle. It is also entirely possible to criticize C.K. while being his friend. You are not being disloyal by pointing out, when asked, that a good friend fucked up/is a fuck-up.

Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…

She’s really using the “He has daughters!” excuse? And tossing in “I’ve known him forever!” and “You weren’t there!”

Bingo.  And as a child raised in religion myself - I can understand where Roger’s coming from while saying he’s a total jackass for acting so.

Why was it so weird for her to be a virgin? It was 1970. She’s in her early 20s. Lots of girls/women were virgins at that age back then. Lots of girls are virgins at that age now.

Roger and Bree are having two different arguments though I don’t know that they know it. These arguments are, however, borne of two different experiences so it’s not surprising.

They’re two very different people, and for now they want different things, but they don’t let that doom them, instead deciding to move forward, compromise, listen to each other.

One issue that I’ve had with the Outlander series (that is not necessarily an issue in the books) is the passage of time. Sometimes it can be really hard to tell how much time has passed in any particular timeline. This was a problem I had in season 1 quite a bit. Because I’d read the books, I had a sense, but I watch…

I think a C is a fair grade because it was not a well-done episode of television, I don’t think. The writing was just so clunky and everything was so fraught and melodramatic, even before the drama with Rufus.

My issue is less with Claire and Jamie (though they do admittedly act in ways that defy logic after everything they’ve been through) and more to do with the writers. I mentioned this above, but you can have your characters speak and act in the exact same way and still shoot a show where we aren’t supposed to feel that…
