Well I, for one, was not expecting Mrs. Coulter to be Lyra’s mother, mostly because I was absolutely sold on the idea that Mrs. Coulter was actually Lyra time-traveled in and/or from another dimension (idk idk, I don’t know how magic and these other worlds work yet, but time travel doesn’t seem outside the realm of…

Holy shit, thank you for the information. I didn’t know anything about it before now. That is absolutely wild, but I applaud the staff. I wrote an email on their behalf earlier this week, but obviously those efforts are too little too late. What a nightmare. I love these sites, but in light of this, I feel kind of bad…

Yeah, I should clarify that I don’t think it’s wrong to be attractive and acknowledge it. It was just not relevant to the story in a “By the way, did I mention I’m pretty?” way, which made me roll my eyes.

Yeah, I really liked this one because I almost always prefer scary stories/horror movies that *hint* at the scary thing just enough for your imagination to go crazy on its own, rather than spelling out exactly why something is so scary. Idk I got little chills from that oddly-dressed, never aging door-to-door vacuum…

That’s exactly it. I don’t really believe in ghosts or other supernatural things myself, but I’ll suspend my disbelief for a good story. That ouija board story was just boring, moralizing nonsense. I do not come to a scary stories thread to be preached at.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Seriously. They actually included a story where the climax is that Jesus took the wheel.

Thank god I’m not the only one who thought that story sounded super humblebraggy on top of obviously fake. “lol I’m so quirky and I drive across the country specifically to visit different small-town thrift shops. Also I’m very pretty and so petite that normal people clothes don’t fit me teehee isn’t that cute?”

Dammit, I was watching this game but left the room immediately when I saw his face on the screen. Should have stuck it out.

Yeah I really hate comments like that. “Yeah, fuck all the people who are actually affected by the policies enacted by governments in red states, just kick them out of the country and then we won’t have to think about them anymore! But btw I’m sooo progressive and care about marginalized people, totally.”

Idk maybe because the South is home to a ton of POC, LGBT people, and women who don’t have the resources (or the desire, in many cases) to pick up their whole lives and move?

Yeah, same. There were a lot of duds that got to stay, and a lot of stronger people (Beanz, dammit!!) that had to go home after that episode, just based on who they were up against. That said, it was still probably my favorite episode so far. So many good zingers.

Not to mention his OTT fear of anything he deems “demonic.” Take it down a couple notches, Chance.

I literally (and I do not use that term lightly) could not watch it. I had to leave the room and plug my ears.

I didn’t recognize Neil as Scotty until the flashback scene he’s in, and all I could think was, “I was wondering when you’d remember me.”

I’m just surprised he didn’t throw in a line about players kneeling. But then he probably stopped watching the NFL after Johnny Unitas retired.

I don’t want them to go fuck each other. They might produce more shit-eating, entitled dumbasses. Pay it forward and don’t spawn more racists.

I am so much more invested in this show than I ever thought I could be when it first started out. Don’t have much insight to lend, but goddammit Kelvin better get his shit together and go out and beg for Keefe back because I will be devastated if this show is missing his sad, strange, gentle, and delightful energy for…

It is always extremely upsetting to me when I see French Stewart’s eyes. Like hermit crabs that have just crawled out of their shells.

Off topic: Is anyone else having trouble getting the “load more comments” button to work? It’s been doing this for a few days. Just unable to see any comments other than the first five or however many appear before that button. I have no idea if anyone will see this, because it will land below the fold (and I also…
