I'm not sure it's true the show would be better about the situations if the genders were flipped. I think they'd treat it as a very bad thing if it happened to Jane, but I'm not convinced it's strictly a gender issue. Petra was straight-up raped by Zazz first season (when she agreed to have sex with him so that he'd

I cracked up when Hemsworth assured Cillian Murphy that they'd play "cahds" again. Though at least I could tell he was trying for some Boston-y thing there. Never did figure out what accent Murphy even thought he was attempting. All of them, I guess.

No, I think you're correct. I'm just sad about it. Sigh.

God, I hope not. If this show not only forces Petra to marry her abuser, but forces her to carry the children of ANOTHER abuser and man who attempted to murder her multiple times, I may have to stop watching. That's just incredibly fucked up. I'm sick of her being an abuse punching bag, especially when it's for

I agree, and I also want the show to address the fucked up way they're handling Milos. They set Petra up as this woman who appeared bad, but was doing what she had to do to flee her abuser. Then her abuser comes back, is a Funny Guy With a Wacky Accent and Comedy Temper, and they force her to marry him. That is so, so

If he does die, I assume it's some telenovela "technically died on the table for 30 seconds then was brought back" thing.

Unless I'm forgetting a joke, he was contacted about the kidnapping by his good, worried friend Gloria Estefan. (who has helped him before). I hope I didn't miss a Trevi joke. That would be in way awful taste.

Oh, god, or later when they're all listening to Ross try and have sex with Dino Doctor Charlie Wheeler and Monica has to be reminded that she's listening to her brother. So. Gross.

The stained-glass knight still looks bad-ass, and that damn turkey… The sentient cream puffs less so, but I still find them creepy.

I loved "Young Sherlock Holmes" as a kid! I recently showed it to my husband. He pretty much just kept shrieking "THIS ISN'T A KIDS' MOVIE! WHO WOULD SHOW THIS TO KIDS?!?" So it holds up.

Naw, I'm with you. I was very disappointed by "It Follows." I thought it was muddled and too long and only half-thought-out.

Oh, right! I didn't remember exactly what he did was so I was like "Well… she's alive and has all her ears, so it couldn't have been SUPER violent (in the context of "Vikings," not in the context of what is actually acceptable)."

As a former (mid & south) Delawarean, this post speaks to my soul.

"Disney"…. "re-imagined"…. Yup. Burn it.

I find Helga's response to be entirely rational and believable. I think she's freaking out for two reasons. First, Floki is acting more mad than usual. Much more. All that running around raving about being favored by the gods and sacrifice is not normal for him. He even got a little violent with her at one point.

Who's the hot guy in "Girls"? Or the middle-aged woman he falls for?

I can see that, but I'm unclear on how using a different label (categorizing by subject and reading level) would change that. I doubt adults will be more likely to read "appropriate reading level and subject matter for teens" than "YA."

We may be talking about something different when it comes to being labeled "YA," but in most libraries I've been in, things like Mercedes Lackey, the "Alanna" series, David Eddings, and a bunch of Robin McKinley are categorized as YA. Often Marion Zimmer Bradley, Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony, and Raymond E. Feist as

What's the difference between "YA" and "categorizing books by subject and reading level"? I honestly thought that's what YA was - books about teens/pre-teens written at their reading level.
