I just going to type the same thing: LOST in space!

As you can tell from my user name, I have some knowledge of Pokemon but even I don’t know what “level-three Rattata” means in this context. Rattata are not rare. They’re Gen 1 but not a starter Pokemon. They’re not an “old” (i.e., fossil) Pokemon. I don’t get it.

Funny! And that was a callback to the original series episode, “By Any Other Name.”

To the question of whether Gotham or Legends of Tomorrow is crazier: i say Gotham is definitely crazier! I get what you’re saying about the absurd situations of Legends but it’s kind of garden variety absurdity for humeorous science fiction (like Doctor Who or Hitchhiker’s Guide), but the characters in Gotham are…

Thanks for the great memory! I listened to this book on tape decades ago. It’s read by John De Lancie and Majel Barrett. Their performances were so good that I feel as if I actually saw this as an episode!

That was my second thought about this! It’s a nifty way to keep women out of networking opportunities while making yourself look virtuous instead of like a patriarchal pig. My FIRST thought was what Sobchak Security wrote before I got to it: this sounds like the “conditions” his wife laid out for staying with him…

I’m so sorry about your experience, and I’m glad you told such supportive friends! I guess denial is a common reaction, like in grief. And it may serve some purpose, at least for a while. Validation is very helpful! I wish you peace and wellness as you continue to process what happened to you.

I’m so sorry it happened to you, too. Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Recovery is an individual process. I think that for me, and maybe for you, not calling it rape served a purpose at the time. Sending you good thoughts and positive energy!

Thank you, Surprise! Hippopotamus. Sometimes over the years, the day has gone by unnoticed but, like Sarah Kasbeer, Trump’s candidacy and (shudder) presidency have brought a lot of painful memories back to mind.

Thank you for sharing this, especially today. I was raped by my first boyfriend on this date 37 years ago. At one time, I used to pretend it hadn’t really been rape. At one time, I couldn’t read about sexual assaults. At one time, just hearing the word “rape” would tear holes in my soul. Time, therapy and healthy…

My son’s college cafeteria used to make Trix treats. He loved them and asked me to make them for him when he was home on breaks.

I also didn’t understand what Rosita was bitching to Father Gabriel about, but more importantly, I don’t understand what she thinks can be accomplished by killing Negan. She knows how many Saviors there are, how fanatical they are and how vengeful they are. What makes her think that they won’t retaliate by going to…

Cool! I agree with you that the theatrical version is better. The director’s cut just confused me.

Right! I couldn’t believe he got away with saying that on TV.

We had all the episodes of TOS and TNG on VHS tapes. We bought them from Columbia House LOL, two episodes per tape. I like to say we invented binge watching 😉

Before the DS9 premiere in 1993, my husband and I rewatched TNG to get ready. I took obsessive notes that included air dates, stardates, crew members, etc. (In my defense, I was very pregnant at the time and couldn’t do much else). I discovered that Tasha Yar appeared in several episodes that had stardates after her…

“darkest of timelines” Nailed it!

Oh, yeah! I’d forgotten about that but Morgan’s wife jiggles the doorknob of their home in the first episode.

I’ve had good luck catching Pokémon using the new tracking when I’m in an area with Pokestops. There are no stops by my house but Sightings still seems to work out here
