I think it says a lot that my first response to I don't care about Iris was "I don't know, I don't buy the romance between her and Barry, but killing her off would be impossible because she is a big deal in Flash mythology". Then I remembered I wasn't on The Flash thread and moved on to "who the heck is Iris". After a…

Yes, but she had a big, public fight with her boyfriend about being pregnant right before she was kidnapped. And it's probable that people knew before the fight.

Yes. Asylum is up at cbs.com

HIMYM had really good ratings, TGW does not. It's being kept for prestige, not because it is a success. So I think CBS has no reason to keep TGW beyond the 7 year plan.

Look, I'm not saying Adalind is a good person, or that she has empathy, but she didn't have TIME to learn to love Diana. She only had a few days with her. So the maternal "she's mine" instinct was there. She didn't even have Diana long enough to get a smile out of her, or to learn that picking her up would comfort…

I think they originally thought that Juliette would go along with tamping down her powers. Now they know she probably won't. The thing is what are the options? Juliette going on a rampage and killing people and Wesen? I will say that they have been leading us to this. They made the one Wesen lose their female side so…

I liked her with Meissner! OTOH, she has boatloads of chemistry with Nick, more than I saw with Juliette. This isn't a slam on Juliette. People settle into a comfortable, friendly chemistry after being together for many years, and Juliette/Nick had that type of chemistry. But Adalind and Nick spark.

Cool and true story. In 2003 when we were invading Iraq, a librarian and her staff smuggled 30,000 books out of their library. The military had set up headquarters in the library and refused to let them remove the books. So the staff wrapped them up to conceal them and walked out the doors. First they took them to a…

They just hit the "taking baby Diana" story on TNT yesterday. What is really noticeable is that Adalind doesn't sleep with Nick for revenge or because he took her baby. She did it because everyone told her that Victor took her baby and when she called Victor to try to at least BE with the baby he told her he wouldn't…

Yes, the article was about the book, however it's likely that many, many more people have only seen the movie. The book GWTW is LONG and as some have noted doesn't pick up for 100 pages. The movie is more accessible and really is pretty faithful to the book and the book's attitudes toward race and the South. It's what…

THIS! I do wish that the show would acknowledge that this was flat out rape by Adalind. They spent a lot of time focused on how betrayed Juliette felt because Nick couldn't tell Adalind wasn't her, but Nick was, in fact, raped.

I think Royal Blood is Royal Blood. It doesn't explain why Sean was treated poorly by the family though. It was made clear when Adalind was bargaining to sell her baby that a female was worth more than a male, so that may have something to do with it. Honestly, I don't know that Sean being the father is 100%…

It is definitely a product of its times AND the stereotypes about how women's sexuality. The fact is, that Scarlett makes it clear to Rhett that she doesn't want sex, he overrides her stated desires and eventually she decides she likes it. For the time it was written, this met societal expectations and norms. Today's…

Oh I totally agree on Ashley. Even Scarlett basically says if you just told me you loved her and not me, I would have gotten it. instead he talked about how he couldn't love Scarlett because it wasn't honorable. Ashley was aware that he didn't have what it took to make it in the new South and that Scarlett was pretty…

Although I don't disagree, she did keep a lot of people that she didn't care about alive and fed and helped them regain their lives. This includes Melanie and her sisters. I'm not sure if her motives matter. She pulled them up with her anyway. I mean she took care of Melanie when she didn't know if Ashley was alive or…

IRL de Havilland was quite the fighter. When her contract with Warner Brothers ran out, she wanted to go to another studio. They then told her she still had 6 months left on her contract because she had rejected several roles and they put her on suspension. They were adding the suspension time to her contract. She was…

I've never met anyone who was Team Ashley, so I'd be glad to hear that POV. To me, even in the book, he's a weak man who can't be bothered to tell Scarlet he doesn't really love her. I think he liked the attention, myself. I mean he has a wife who adores him and a pretty, ambitious woman who makes it clear that he's…

Dude! The review pointed out that the movie had great feminist potential AND a hugely racist viewpoint. That's not saying burn the negative. The people who talk about the racism have also mentioned the great cinematography and score. Again, not burn the negative.

Maybe she took a dip in the Lazarus Pool and her soul changed to good and emotionally stable?

That's how I saw it.
