The contrast betweeen the adult and child actors was particularly apparent pin Harry Potter because it was a stable of some of the best British actors in history. On top of it, the audience was meant to grow with the child actors, and that meant their cringe tweens would eventually become their cringe teens. The…

Like so many “Make-Up Oscars”, her award from Silver Linings Playbook was the “we really should have given it to you for Winter’s Bone”, much like Kate Winslet’s for The Reader was her “Sorry about Sense & Sensibility” Oscar.

Yep, and it’s particularly jarring that June is still alive and unharmed. Janine was a successful handmaid and they were ready to stone her. Red Center bombing or not, it’s jarring that while Serena and Emily are mutiliated, June just coasts with body parts intact.

Replace women and white with “people”, and you’ve got an argument.

The heavy hand of production has really been making itself known. It started, albeit slightly, on S6, was obvious on 8, went to the dogs on AS3 and 10 (I’m still bitter about Mayhem Miller and Thorgy) and then we have 11 and AS4.

I mean, Sharon, Jinx, Sasha, and Aquaria are the only white main season winners, so it’s not exactly as if the show is drowning in white people. Granted, three out of five AllStars are white, but no one in their right mind would argue Chad and Alaska didn’t deserve it solidly over everyone else.

I think the snark is slightly misplaced as well, but if the article was “the best way to make white people care about racial equality is to make them feel more welcome and make it more about them” my guess is that everyone in the comments would be singing a very different song about how it’s “not their job” to do so-…

Nope.

Truth be told, I was sitting in the snow at the end of the trail secretly hoping Nicole S would never come back.

True Story: The 6th grade class at our school always got sent away in the winter for a week at a conservation/ survival camp.

Exactly. If they are actually doing well, they deserve to either keep their credits, be readmitted, or both. I’ve seen way too many people, rich and poor and in between, that are not cut out for college, so why not at least acknowledge those that are?

Whatever you do, avoid Beyond Sausage like the plague. The texture is awful, and the Italian ones in particulat have an aftertaste. I tried some in my Sunday gravy, and thank God I tested it first, or else the gravy would have been ruined.

No probs! Some folks around here just seem REALLY intent about arguing that a chain that made its name on meat should decide to cater to the oh so many vegans scattering middle America. What we know of that consumer is that they are adverse to quick service to begin with, and attempts to pull them in haven’t been…

Arbys is being smart, as their growth statement clearly demonstrates. If you think for one hot minute that some rando vegan on a road trip is going to say “hey guys! Let’s stop at Arby’s!” then you have a lot to learn about food marketing.

For what it’s worth, you’re right.

This show REALLY needs to start spending more quality time in the casting department.

Not to mention that the patron saint of many of these folks (including HamNo) has actually ADVOCATED for electing anti-choice Dems.

As an aside, I have been aboard more than one Delta flight -the most notorious of which had us landed and taxiing on the tarmac for over two hours- where when we got stuck, the flight attendants immediately announced complimentary cocktails for the entire cabin. 

For the non book folks: A Feast for Crows largely follows Sam, Brienne, Asha Greyjoy, Cersei, Princess Arianne Martell in Dorne, and “Alyanne”-Sansa posing as Littlefingers bastard in the Vale. A Dance with Dragons follows Dany in Meereen, Tyrion/ Illyrio and later Tyrion/ Jorah/ fAegon, Bran beyond the Wall, Jon at…

Yeah, HBO had offered two more 10 episode seasons (our 7 and 8) and they stated money wasn’t a factor. The producers and D&D (not GRRM) are the only ones that made the decision.
