I most definitely wouldn't say she identifies with any of the characters on House of Cards, thankfully. But yeah, I see that trend (i.e., "love them and want them to win everything") happening quite a bit.

Probably not, but I do appreciate a story that can allow me to sympathize with a criminal in some way. The Wire is probably the best example of this.
I personally find Tusk to be worse than Frank.
Hahaha! I'd bring that up, but I don't want to invoke Godwin's Law.
I haven't actually watched Breaking Bad yet, but I've gotten the impression that most of the people I know who have did root for Walter through its entirety.
I spent much of the weekend watching this season,—made it through episode nine—and I've discovered that my girlfriend and I are sort of at odds. We both love the series, but our sympathies towards the characters are where our opinions differ. While there are instances where I want Frank and Claire to…
I know; I'm just asking because I'm legitimately curious. Sorry for going way off-topic.
Is there a difference between a constitutional republic and a representative democracy? I'd always gotten the impression that conservatives had basically been trying to push the whole "America is a republic!" thing so as to keep people from associating the US with democracy and therefore Democrats.
I still don't think what you're saying holds true for The Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense is, in part, about a man coming to terms with his own death, which he was unable to accept. Since Bruce Willis is pretty much the main character,—he is the first POV character to whom we are introduced—it makes sense for us to…
I highly disagree that the twist is the raison d'etre of The Sixth Sense or that knowing about it beforehand makes the movie any less good. I've seen it multiple times, and I think it holds up very well, as Shyamalan develops the characters incredibly well and focuses on how these events affect them. If he'd been more…
Is this Julie Klausner's Discus handle?
Nice to see Quicksand get a shout-out! Slip is one of my very favorite rock albums of the '90s, although I unfortunately didn't discover it until about ten years after its release. (I remembered seeing the video for "Dine Alone" on an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head and thinking it sounded like a nifty song. Years…
Aaron Carter!
Aaron Carter!
Aaron Carter!
Ooooooh, shit! Aaron Carter!
It's for Big Finish's series of audio adventures.
Adam Jones isn't a guitarist I feel is known for soloing, but that song definitely sticks out!
Don't get me wrong; I'm not intending to shortchange Scholz at all. Just about any of his guitar solos from either of Boston's first two albums are in a class by themselves. I mainly picked "Magdalena" because I felt it was worthy of recognition and didn't think it would be mentioned by anyone else.
"Zagreus" isn't bad, but I feel it's overly long and a bit of a letdown after "Neverland."
The Charlie stuff actually comes before the Lucie episodes. They were originally released as part of Big Finish's monthly Doctor Who series (which includes Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy). (Also, one of them, "Invaders From Mars," features Simon Pegg as a New York gangster.) They later decided to spin…
And a shit-ton of great audio adventures! No, seriously, I've been listening to Big Finish's Eighth Doctor audios, and I think a lot of them are better than the TV series has been of late.
