I think he *loves* him in a way, but nowhere close to the healthy sense of the word. He told Abigail that her father killing other girls that looked like her and trying to kill her was an act of love. Basically, it's the love of the abuser where the loved one is basically an object owned by the abuser. They might not…

The whole thing about the hidden, untreated encephalitis was terrifying to me since there have been historical incidents of asshole doctors who denied care, much more so than elaborate cannibal serial killers. I was a little disappointed they made such a small thing of its treatment.

They had an advert of Mr. Robot in the mask and those definitely looked like Elliot's ears. The mask being what most people have seen seems significant. If they are the same person, hope they have a good endgame in mind.

I liked her/Elliot way more than Elliot/Angela.

Knowing Vera, he probably looked it up on some bogus, random website.

I think like their marriage it may be a mix of strategy and actual emotion. He was pretty upset when the CTO brought up that he had a child on the way. He also asked about whether their sex games were safe when she was this pregnant too. It may be both a corporate strategy, a status symbol, and something he cares…

Camp and summer programs were great for me since basically my entire elementary school disliked me.

They had a Halloween episode that was *super* creepy. It implied the main characters got killed at the end and replaced by blob doubles. Eek.

Pretty much everyone went to a camp where I grew up in the 90s. They are just more specialized these days. You have acting camps and adventure camps and religious camps. They seem less common in poorer and more rural areas.

For DC, it seems to be about sex/the women of kleenex thing. Which is gross and stupid since why would we consider that comedy essay canon. They were posting things about how sexy it was or something.

A lot of people were pretty fond of it it looks like (including myself). It had a relatable Superman who saved people and was allowed to wear bright red and blue. That alone makes it rank pretty high.

It says something that it was the impetus behind the comics Lois/Clark marriage which actually lasted quite a while before being sadly retconned. He is so much better as a partner with her than with Wonder Woman. i don't even get the Superman/Wonder Woman pairing. They're both strong I guess? They are too similar. I…

I liked how they had him be a virgin before he met Lois. It seemed to work with his character and situation.

I think the script and directing was probably the main problem there. The more Clark is the actual character and not Superman or Kal-El, the better the work will be in my opinion.

Yeah, it was pretty cheesy but it actually seemed to know who Superman was, as opposed to Man of Steel. I would probably rank it relatively high among the recent portrayals of Superman.

Personally, I've always been fond of Lois & Clark. It seemed to have a good idea about who Superman should be—- namely a really moral, nice guy who occasionally struggles.

Yeah, but compared to the others it dilutes the point. The others are either completely unobtainable (bizarrely tiny waists, giant boobs) or unrealistic for the people they are supposed to be— no muscle tone (though this doesn't help with that part— come on, I want to see a super muscley Laura). This is a model you…

I think that people want to be both desired and powerful. But since the girls are usually desired not for internal traits (being funny, being the hero), but for being pretty and having the exact interests the hero wants, the result is becoming something defined by the judgement of other people. And the only way to…

Believe me, that's not an unusual monologue for women. Pretty much every woman you've ever met probably has regular crises or they constantly work out and monitor their diet.

I think that women get a lot of messages that their primary purpose in life is to be attractive and that anything after that is secondary. Attractive women get used like decoration to sell things. Men can work much older than women in Hollywood and get cast with women 20 years younger than them because the studio exec…
