Not the Tourin Turin Bar?

Where have you gone, BattlecarCompactica, the AV Club turns its tired eyes to you, woo hoo hoo.

Not yet, but I think I will now. Thanks for the recommendation :D

The Boss Baby Driver

Maybe he can help us drown him in the Atlantic?

I really hope they do a Christmas episode now.

So she wasn't even there for her own sake, but because she is a necessary aspect of having Baby Jesus there. Damn.

That is a fair point.

Forgot about that aspect of Dune. I'd love to see someone do an indepth look into how that plays with the Arabic and Islamic influences on the Dune novels.

Which is quite disturbing, to be honest. Stop dragging Odin and other pagan gods into your racist bullshit, skinheads. There are a lot more Slavic influences on Norse mythology than you dare admit.

I understand that sentiment, but loyalty should not stand in the way of learning from and building upon. I personally may be loyal to Haruki Murakami as an author, but that doesn't mean I won't take note of his mistakes and strive to not repeat them in my own writing. Also, I wouldn't exactly call him an underdog,…

Just let Rei hug some of the "friends" you don't like, and you'll have all the Tang you want.

Eh, fuck Joss Whedon. I'm not just saying that to be contrarian, by the way. I have serious issues with his style of humor and how we take him to be the end all and be all of feminist directors who are male and nerds.

Jesus wasn't submerged, he was surrounding the water from the inside :D

Let's get the ball rolling with Gillian Anderson. That woman kills it as media and needs to be immortalized and worshiped as the one true Goddess, now.

Shit, that is depressing. All we are left with is semi ironic waifu worship.

Agreed. The most interesting form of female led monotheism that I have seen is the semi fictional worship of Haruhi Suzumiya, the teenage anime girl who is god but does not know it. Other than her… um… are there any female led monotheistic religions? Even ones that are half bull shitted together from anime or the like?

I agree that her role is far bigger, but I pray that this expansion doesn't turn her into a problematic character, especially since she is probs gonna be a traitor. She needs to be more fleshed out as a character, as someone beyond the literal and figurative sex goddess, to truly expand her. Compare her to Mad…

Yes, yes they did, or at least one did.

This is true, though an interesting point that Wednesday (unintentionally) makes is that there is more room for a powerful, conquering female figure within a polytheistic religion. Not that polytheism is perfectly equal, but I think the shots of a single (presumably Catholic iteration) Mary surrounded by all that…
