I’m beginning to wonder when the “Gay Twist,” becomes exploitative? Of course all of the LGBTQ, etc., issues are topical so writers are going to write about such characters.

I vote for halibut.

See him in Snowpiercer, Sunshine, or Push. Might do it for you.

I would think even someone with racist tendencies would look at the before and after pictures and admit that the before is much more attractive. The after just looks so...unnatural. He looks so much more alive and comfortable—not to mention human—as his true self.

Typically, I’m the first person to say it’s best to err on the side of possible innocence. But my experience in life with sexual harassment makes me believe that the odds of a guy being innocent in this area are very slim.

Umm. Could they GET any more mixed-message-y?

I get what you’re saying, and I agree it would be good to have a non-subjective rulebook for these situations that young guys can be taught from in high school—or even elementary grades. Because it should be elementary.

You’re making the conversation be all about men, all about how women should fix it for men.

I don’t see one of the root problems with any attempt at gun control addressed very often, if at all. The truth is, gun porn and gun addiction is a thing. I’ve been around it all my life. I’ve seen people so addicted that when mental health issues came up and they knew they had to get help to save their marriage, they

The irony is their very extremism, growing more extreme all the time, is probably the only thing that could cause the thing they fear.

The lighting absolutely emphasizes it! I thought that if they’d said, as an earlier commenter did, that she’d gotten the mark on Krypton before she got her sun-fueld Earth powers, then they could have had her cover it up when she was in her Supergirl persona which would have aided in her disguise. Then they could have

I found that one out the hard way. As if it wasn’t hard enough to find soy-free food! Who would expect it in a salad?

It’s purely anecdotal, but I was diagnosed with having juvenile arthritis in my teens. I became so crippled from joint pain in my knees that I could barely walk. In my twenties I was told to eat more soy, which I duly did. My overall health nosedived and my joint pain became worse, also affecting my shoulders. I

The Caribbean. Oh, wait. Irma and Maria.

Good point. But if we’re being really rotten and nit-picky, the actress who plays young Kara on Krypton doesn’t have the scar. However, I like your take better. It’s kind of fun thinking of Kryptonian kids being told by their parents not to scratch or they’ll have scars when they get chicken pox.

Here’s what I don’t get about Supergirl’s disguise. She has a scar, I think a chicken pox scar, at her left eyebrow. Putting aside for the moment that a Kryptonian who can deflect bullets off her skin shouldn’t have chicken pox scars, this is what police would call an “identifying mark.” As in unique. As in why does

That’s the very (non-memorable) one, thanks. Someone else mentioned it down-thread by name. Whoever titled it obviously didn’t earn their wage that week.

I dislike that saying you see everywhere: “You just won the Internet with that comment.”

The real question is what Samsung thinks it’s doing putting the cheese between the lettuce and the tomato so that it won’t melt. In what world is this okay??

You’re writing from the perspective of our time period where people can’t do these things. But in a future where it’s possible to time loop on demand by some twisted people, why wouldn’t the Federation have an extremely harsh punishment for time loop murders to dissuade others from attempting it and possibly
