    Even though I called you out on flawed debate methodology you have not changed, so like I said before: I am done. If you believe your tone/argument stands up to scrutiny I encourage you to leave it up, and a future reader can judge us both for what we said. I feel confident in what I've argued, and you seem adamant in

    I have never met a person who has used the term "butthurt" who was deserving of intellectual respect, you have not changed that trend. Every post of yours has demonstrated self-righteous hostility. I don't know how you see me as being "oppressive" but I encourage you to read your own posts and tone, if you do I think

    I acknowledge there is probably a Cosmo article or something else that argues it's wrong. If it's actually wrong I would imagine you could, in your own words, explain or argue why. Do you think you win an argument by being condescending? Because that's not how disagreements work.

    The whole idea of the SJW is that the SJW is a warrior because they are uptight because everything has to be this FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. Calling a person who is advocating less uptightness a warrior is inaccurate.

    So you are implying that I'm uneducated because I do not read Cosmo?

    Yep, so they edited to favor dramatic tension rather than real time accuracy, which I don't condone because it is a cheap trick, but once you just accept that's what they did you can get over it. I've seen other shows do it a lot more, hell I've seen 24 do it, which they really shouldn't do because their whole premise

    Spicy I can maybe see because it's like you are comparing them to latin food. But feisty is a commonly used word, saying "don't use it for latin women" seems needlessly uptight.

    He was in 4 episodes in the first half of the season and I feel like not all of them were major. Of those I think maybe 1 he was a "team member". Idk, he's kinda non-descript and so I don't blame a guy for not thinking of Joey as just part of the team.

    There was a lot of talk of "Power" in this episode which I found slightly distracting because of the actor's name. If they would've gone into a booth I would've lost my shit.

    Once the alarm is going off you might as well.

    Since none of the actual content of the show was lost I've got to imagine that 1 minute came out of advertisement time in the end.

    I was happy when I realized it didn't play over any of the episode. That used to be a dumb problem. A "news update" would actually play concurrently with the show so the viewer would just miss minutes of the actual show.

    I took it as Fitz being stubborn and dumb and not a writer's surrogate for telling us science truth. Even science truth in their universe.

    I think that's intentional.

    Any reference to the Simpson's fireworks factory is a good reference to the Simpson's fireworks factory. Nicely done, Alex.

    Here's what Coulson should have done if he wanted to prevent the predictions from coming true.
    Coulson: "Daisy, am I in one of the visions of the future?"
    Daisy: "Yes"
    Coulson: "In the vision does my face look normal, like it does now?"
    Daisy: "Uh… yes."
    Coulson: "Ok, I'm going to get a face tattoo right now, future

    "Time can be thought of as a dimension therefore it is completely analogous to spacial dimensions" has always been a week argument. IMO.

    She is young and self-centered. I think the show is deliberately setting her up as problematic so that it pays off into the civil war storyline. We need to start to see dissent among our heroes and that only happens if some characters start acting more morally questionable.

    They had moments where they were trying to be witty and just came off as smug smartasses, and those moments make me not miss them.

    I know it's more of a punchline, but honestly TWD has been fairly decent diversity wise.
