I guess I just see a huge difference between maturity (like, having the sense of humor or emotional sensibilities of a 16 year old) and being into listening to a guy "joke" about rape (gang rape, etc) for hours. It just seemed too extreme. I mean, if Cassidy is into Dane Cook, that's one thing. But whatever the fuck…

That whole detail about him being a fan of that terrible comic was just…bizarre. I just can't imagine a guy who has worked in the SVU department being entertained by that "style" of comic (ignoring the fact that no comic makes a living telling endless rape jokes). That detail was just nonsense, even for this show.

I know a girl (friend of a friend) who lives in NYC. She hooked up with some guy who worked in fashion. He gave her a beautiful Rebecca Minkoff purse as a post-sex swag bag with a prepaid subway card in it. SAYONARA!

Modine was actually great. He worked the hell out of that terrible script.

I always liked when Bart Bass would show up to bust balls.

I think that's what I like about him. It's a breath of fresh air for SVU and it adds a new dynamic to the show.

That episode was fully nuts. Poor Stephen Collins for having to act in that nonsense.

What is the deal with Olivia's therapist? I get a creepo vibe from that guy.

I get so excited when Raul Esparza shows up in things (especially in Hannibal. I think I let out an audible "squee" last season when he first appeared). He brings such a sense of determination to Barba, and is just an immensely charismatic actor all around.

SVU is one of those shows I always keep up with, though it's often one of the last things I get to on my DVR. The past few seasons have been pretty solid and I definitely think it deserves the "most improved" title. Pablo Schreiber was incredibly menacing, I loved his guest turn. The writers seem to know what a gem…

Oh, I ignored your last question…I don't have a favorite time period…I really am kind of enamored with the late 60s to late 70s, and like reading non-fiction stuff about the movies and music of that era. I don't read a lot of historical fiction but I know I should. Wolf Hall is on my list but I keep pushing it back.…

I read Cloud Atlas on my Nook and OHHHH BOY was that a mistake. That book is tailor made for flipping back and forth, and it's nearly impossible to do that with an ebook. I purchased a physical copy of it, will have to reread it at some point.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I think part of the complete dismissal about genre books comes from the way they're published. The second a genre book becomes popular, it immediately spawns copycat series and the whole section of the bookstore is plagued with total garbage. (i.e. Twilight and the piles and piles of "supernatural teen romance" books.…

That entire opening scene was golden.

Glad it seems to be working for Hannibal. Didn't work out so well for me and Terriers :'(

It's Kit Harington.

Corey Stoll was the only actual good thing about Midnight In Paris. (Okay, I maybe enjoyed Michael Sheen's buffoonery a bit too)

I was texting someone about that ad the other day and my phone auto corrected "Liam Neeson" to "Liam Neesons". I was so proud.

I was so happy that they finally got to meet the incomparable Liam Neesons
