Regarding #3- The term for breaking a scene because you start laughing is “corpsing” for a reason. My guess is there are many takes. The best story I heard is that the actress who played Joyce in Buffy laid still, unblinking for, like, 3 days of shooting her dead body and the one scene where they had to focus on her…

I haven’t paid attention to casting news, but it’s totally been building. Like you could just tell that they were going to write him out.

See? I’m actually shocked that it hasn’t happened yet. It’s perfect for Seattle.

So, I still kinda love this show, but anyone who is under the impression that it’s not a soap opera is kidding themselves. A soap opera with higher ratings and budgets than the typical daytime ones, but seriously, nowhere but in soap opera world does one person experience a bomb in a body, a drowning and miraculous…

You just won this thread and my eternal love

That’s my technique, fellow 5’2” person! I only have a problem getting it in when I’m on a really bit plane, but the normal ones I ride the shot put and hoist technique really does work AND that added bonus of freaking people out/being a beast helps.

I am watching it now and just came over here looking for an adult. I need an adult. WTF. How did I not know? Were there spoilers that I missed?

I’m not gonna lie, me too. Or at least, like, a big guy, tall and broad (either fat or muscle). I wouldn’t describe him as big.

“guests of the British government” sounds like the politest euphemism for prisoner ever.

Oh hey distant ass cousin, I am also supposedly descended from William the Conqueror. We should totally have a reunion with all of his descendants, like the millions of us. It’d be a hell of a party. Granted my link is a tenuous bastard grandkid, so you know maybe I’m not invited?

Or, you can pretty much bet that they had something to do with in some way aiding in exterminating the Native American population. My ancestors didn’t own slaves (although indentured servants aren’t out to the question), but had a lot to do with westward expansion and early colonization. Basically, assume your…

The non coached person would do it then and passive aggressively wonder why the others weren’t helping, but never say anything, because they’re Minnesotan and that’s just not how we do things.

She kinda went down the same route as Kirk. Not quite as obnoxiously so, like clearly she still does mainstream stuff, but I don’t blame you for some Cameron based skepticism.

I think it’s about finding the right thing that scares you too. I got to a point when I was reading a ton of horror as a young teenager where certain themes of books and movies creep me out and others did nothing at all. The books that did scare me though- oh my god they stuck with me.

Those illustrations are responsible for too many nightmares.

Right? Sansa made the smart move, at least from what she knows. Better to stick with the guy she knows, who she know has been protecting her, even if its for creepy reasons, than the random chick who “swore an oath” to her dead mother and one of the dead kings before that. Brienne’s track record for protecting people…

Eh, he’s not perfect, he’s a bit of a disaster with some things, he just wrote REALLY good essays, which I edited for him, so I take some bragging rights.

My uncle is a freshman advisor and apparently 80% of his students come in wanting to double or triple major because they think it sounds good without really realizing what it entails, both in terms of time or actual interest. He ends up getting a lot of them dropping a major down to a minor, especially if the two…

I applied for 6 in the mid 2000s and it was less than a lot of my friends because I knew EXACTLY what major I wanted and there were only a limited number of schools with it. It’s a hell of a lot easier to apply now than it was 10 years ago when I did applications because so much is online or has a common app. It makes…

Yup. I don’t run marathons, I don’t like running enough, but I’m sure if I trained, I’d be able to. But I would NEVER be able to train to world class level, I am physically not built for it. My short little legs probably have to take 3 strides to go the same distance as world class runners. There’s a reason not…
