No worries! I just grew up with it, I've never actually read any Heinlein, I'm just a second generation geek. Now I know and will spell it properly hence forth. Thank you, fellow io9er!

The early church was definitely advocating chaste marriages. I've run across that from many different sources over the years. Same-sex unions seems quite possible and even likely from what I've studied about the early church. It was just so very different than what we think of as Christianity today. They were really…

I almost wonder if that extreme asceticism played a part in these same-sex pairings. To a straight person perhaps they viewed two men pledging their lives to each other to be the height of 'sexless' marriage because it would be 'impossible' (not grocking that two men can enjoy one another carnally). Thus, without sex…

My spouse just said "if all the gays folks and their allies moved away, their economy would crumble."

That was awesome! It reminded me of the animation MTV used to play late at night in the 90s.

The Oankali from the Xenogenesis trilogy always seemed very conceivable to me.

I was so counting on the TB freaky to save him. Goshdarnit.

Right there with you. Plus (why does my phone wish to change 'plus' to 'Prius'?) I keep scrolling back to Sunday to make sure I didn't just miss it.

From your lips to ... the casting director's ears.

Pretty please, Ms. Meredith? With Season 1 Eric on top?

As it ever was ...

Does the production of Frankenstein where he and Johny Lee Miller traded roles each night increase or decrease the chances on this one?

Being a woman (or human) is hard enough, can we not hate on her for something she herself did not do? Please?

That's the weirdest I've ever seen, hands down.

Whao. Is that his real hair?

Bummer ... I was hoping.

This dude clearly has zero interest in understanding any viewpoint but his own. Ignore this mansplaining idiot. He clearly has his head so far up his own ass that he can't hear or see clearly. He's doing an awesome job of illustrating the problem. You are right and he's wrong.
