yeah, when people wonder why the NWSL doesn’t expand to places like NY or California, all I can think about is the cost of living and how that would be even harder than trying to stretch an NWSL salary to suburban NJ or Portland.

NWSL has a maximum player salary ($46k) that isn’t anywhere near what Lyon and a small handful of other European clubs pay their top players (Morgan supposedly made like $400k/year over her stint there, and Hegerberg more).

if all this does is waste a billion of Jeff Bezos’s dollars I’ll be really amused.

ooh, a tv question I can’t reasonably answer with Buffy or The Good Wife.

oh shit, I’ve only just realized the auction was after Rose’s death at the This is Mars premiere. the criminal the book’s villain is based on dying spectacularly at a TV premiere would certainly get enormous publicity.

It looks like maybe it very rarely happens to a manuscript that gets exceptional buzz?

Noooooo. When the “Cat Person” story went viral a while ago, the author signed for a 2-book, $1M deal shortly thereafter. The $500k is not normal at all.

...speaking of forgetting about Rose’s minion, IMDb informs me that the character was actually named Bobby. No clue where I pulled Tyler from.

He’s very forgettable!

Ro’s dad, a guy from Jane’s old writing workshop, Tyler the Rose minion who got shot last ep. None of them make a ton of sense for the LLN.

-Always love Raf and Jane being supportive of each other’s careers/professional dreams.

yep. and the first failure to notice the harmful object Penn planted makes it even worse when they fail the second time.

IMO, the difference between Logan and Will is that Logan’s death required our leads, who are supposed to be brilliant crimesolvers, to act like fuckin’ morons. The bomber threatens that his “contingency plans have contingency plans” as he’s arrested. Keith and Veronica just spent hours driving him around desperately…

DERRY GIRLS! fuck yes

The only main Orphan Black character who’s an American is Cosima, and I don’t think we need to debate who she voted for.

Isn’t Chidi a Senegalese man working in Australia? I’m sure he worried about it but he wasn’t voting in the US election.

Every time I see promos for this show I think the lead’s Rose Leslie.

cuss, I’m always hoping for a Lucy Lawless experience.

ty! I somehow didn’t tie that all together on rewatch

please let Penn churn his own butter, please let Penn churn his own butter...
