Eh, I see his point. Consent in that situation is muddied. Is he consenting because she's protecting him and feels obligated to repay her, or because he wants to have sex with Carrie?

Oh that poor, poor boy.

Because he's an awkward teenage boy who has somehow found himself in a dangerous situation and with a beautiful woman who is saying all the right things and making all the right promises.

Wu Ping is one of my favourite characters on the show, and he's not even a real "character." He's an apparition, a hazy shadow back lit by deep red lights and surrounded by temptations of all sorts. The Knick Season 2 could reveal that he is the literal fucking Devil and I wouldn't bat an eye. Every scene he's in has…

Dot has talent, something Elsa doesn't have. Elsa sees herself in Dot's sister (happy head), because she too doesn't have a lick of fucking talent and will pester audiences for their approval because gee golly she just tries so darn hard.

Funny episode all around. Really dug the Fiona Apple mosh pit during the talking heads performance.

I can't imagine why anyone would believe anything about this show, especially considering the context and what's actually being presented. In both narratives Alison and Noah paint the other as an aggressive person who initiated everything. In both versions, they made the heroic save on the little girl and, in both…

I can't believe I was foolish enough to think that with the death of Brody that we'd finally be rid of shitty, horribly forced romance plots.

Fuck. What an episode.

She does have a memorable face.

Okay. I don't even know where to begin. I think I saw Kathy Bates with a shitty beard and she sounded like a lumberjack from the Canadian wilderness. I think I was drunk for that, but if not, fucking awesome.

To be fair, if I had to make a choice on whether to post a screen grab of an impressive WrestleMania spot or a screen grab of the last episode of TNA Impact I would have made the same choice.

A lot of these logical inconsistencies would likely be resolved if this show took place in the 70s or 80s. That's how I've taken to resolving them, anyhow. I just pretend that cell phones aren't real and all of those mumblecore phone calls take place via carrier pigeons.

I don't get a lot of the Juice hate personally. He makes dumb decisions all the time, but it's consistent with the type of person he is. This is a kid who grew up in an unstable environment and without a real father figure, most likely in poverty, and was missing structure, order, and the camaraderie one (normally)…

Probably has something to do with the idea that a lot of fiction treats mothers as caring, loving, perfect beings who shine God's holy light out of every orifice and something like a bi-polar woman with postpartum depression completely contradicts that.

And everybody.

He needs to be in it. I would argue that Agent Cooper is integral to Twin Peaks. I don't care who needs to be cajoled, what favours need to be done, I don't care what anyone has to do, he NEEDS to be in it.

Fucking Disqus ate my comment.

All depends on what you're watching for. For me the sci-fi trappings (or sci-fantasy, don't want to offend anyone) are necessary insofar as they're functional to tell a story about people.

Whatever genre people want to argue about, that's fine. I'll side with whichever one gives me a giant moon baby with spider-shaped antibodies.
