I've tried most of my life not to be picky because it causes social problems, but I just never succeeded. It is hard to hate the taste of so many things, since food is often a shared experience. But I hate alcohol because of the taste (nothing moral against it), I hate coffee (I grew up in Seattle!), and tons of other…

When I heard his stuff about how men and women write, it really annoyed me. He seemed very dismissive of women.

Oh, the humanity! Seriously, it is so rare to see actual humanity towards others when faced with the possibility that something might have been a mistake. Do what's right, move on, don't go on cable news explaining why what you wrote was totally the best decision ever. And also, Rob Bricken's response is very…

Too many folks are interested in protecting football and not actual people. Sports trump science.

There is an elephant in the room here that no one is addressing outright and that is whether football is bad for human beings to play. Calling the victim the catalyst is straight up victim blaming, as you say. But asking if football destroys people's brains (a completely separate question) is not defending a…

Yes. Blaming her is crappy and wrong. Absolutely agree on that one. But exploring the brain trauma aspect is appropriate and needed.

He pulled the trigger. No one disputes that. Exploring a potential link between repeated head trauma and violent behavior is how you prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

It's kind of interesting how you accuse her of over-valuing her looks for power, then mock someone else's looks in the same breath. That doesn't really scream feminism, either.

Yup. There's always going to be danger. And yes, the kids will be fine. But the kids will be BETTER if you teach them not to post things on Facebook that could come back to haunt them. Just like parents in Siberia teach their kids to put on mittens and parents in Australia teach their kids to run from ostriches.

Why? Because lots of women choose to be pregnant and are excited about all kinds of things about it. I wouldn't get this done but I'm not going to belittle someone who does.

So these aren't performances we'd best forget, but forgotten performances that were actually best. I see now.

So did anyone else get some vibes about a previous romance between Miles and Rachel? It seemed like there was some kind of history between them went beyond just being in-laws.

I agree. It was a slowed down version of the word Aurora.

It has been a long time since I have swooned over an actor, but Hook has just done me in! I'm so in love with him! And Mulan. I love her, too. And you know, Aurora really stepped it up this week. I like her a lot, too. I loved how she stopped Snow from attacking Mulan. Mulora really needs to happen. And Hook with…

This is exactly why I chose to be an only child.

How dark is Pitch actually? My daughter is 7 and though her friends can let dark stuff just roll off them, she often gets really shook up. I don't want to pay $30 and have her sobbing in the middle!

Question: how does the chart make clear that Star Trek: TNG didn't change the opening line due to political correctness (although "political correctness" has a negative connotation that doesn't fit here). I seem to remember the change being deliberate, not just a linguistic non-issue.

Yeah, hipsters do kinda suck. (shoot, now I'm being dismissive!) :)

Nope. In Scoke_Faofa's description of the girl, she never claimed anything. She happened to have an Avengers comic and Mortal Instruments. And she liked his shirt. HE decided she was a fake based solely on that evidence. Just because she admitted she isn't a huge SW nerd.
