I'd like to see something like Cult that was more Eureka-style than CSI. I don't really want gruesome, but I love the idea of looking at obsessed fans.

I went to my friend's wedding in Iceland (she's Icelandic) and she showed us roads that curve around big rocks, where the road should logically be straight. But the locals had huge protests to protect the elves. They put little wooden houses on the boulders to show which ones house elves. It's sweet actually.

There are so many jokes to be made about August and wood and Emma. I'm really glad they didn't make him the "writer" or Aesop or something. But why was he carrying around that typewriter? Did that ever get explained but I missed it?

Good question! They left that unresolved for season two.

Didn't it seem kind of mean of Elena to not say she might have chosen him when Damon is all sad because he is pretty sure he is about to die, and he just wants a little caring from Elena? I mean, he was on his death bed for all they knew. It just seemed unkind to let him die with that as his last thought.

Why was that preview a red-screened R-rated preview? I didn't see anything worse than most previews that don't get R-rated.

Is there some TVD insider who could please explain why Bonnie and Elena almost NEVER share a scene anymore? Are the actresses feuding? Last week, Bonnie arrived at Elena's house almost dead and Elena did not even bother to come downstairs to check on her. She stayed upstairs and painted. At the last dance, Bonnie…

You are right about the difference generic lesbians on tv vs. generic gay men on tv. But I think the thing with Ellen being villainized is that she is no longer generic. People feel like they know her as a friend NPH is also no longer generic- I think people can separate his HIMYM persona from his fun-loving host of…

The equivalent gay dad to Ellen's lesbian mom would be Neil Patrick Harris. I think if this had started with an attack on him, followed by a nice clean cut gay family like the clean cut lesbians in the catalog, it would have had the same result.

If anyone is looking for a good sci-fi version of Alice in Wonderland, I highly recommend The Looking Glass Wars. Not any math to speak of, but there was a really creepy scene with skeletons that eat rich people.

If Park Slope's rich choose their spouses for appearances, as that author seems to be suggesting with the "marriage is only for procreating" quote, then the marriages are more like business contracts than romances. Thus, it is probably part of the unspoken contract that they sleep around.

Ah, the Sonics, how I miss you. I remember one rainy day coming up with an entire aquatic roster for the Sonics. The Out to Sea- attle Super Sonics. I can't remember them all, but I had Shawn Kelp, Gary Plankton, Detlef Shrimp, Under-the-sea Hawkins, Skate McMillan (the fish kind of skate). That's just what rainy…

Serial Killers are a type of celebrity. They tend to be primarily male. The women who write them letters and want to marry them are STALKERS. The only difference between a woman writing crazy love letters to a Menedez and a man writing crazy love letters to Lindsay Lohan (who is not a sociopath, I presume, but does…

Yup. THis is an important point that often gets ignored.

Chris Hardwick has been on my laminated list for quite some time. I recently added Vincent Kartheiser and had it relaminated. It would have been awkward had I been there, since they were there together, but I feel I am up to the challenge.

The tricks they could play in a pre-TiVo world...

That sentence was intended to mean meat-eating families, but you are correct that it does ignore people getting ostracized for food choices outside the meat/non-meat dichotomy. I should have worded it differently and I apologize.

My point was not that other kids don't get ostracized for other food choices at all. It was to say that veg* families are not all somehow horribly intolerant. Pretty much the only way they get presented here is as snots.

I think if you talk to most families doing the veg* thing, you will find that there are constantly discussions about other people making different choices about what they eat, and that is ok. This is merely a social survival thing. Only about 4% of Americans identify as vegetarian/vegan, so if you are raising your…

There was a list of people that have not gotten dementia, implying they should.
