If I had to eat brains every morning, I’d drink a lot, too. 

I don’t think that’s new. I think most companies are run like cults and the only difference is what flavor of cult it is.  

To be fair, every place I’ve working in the last two decades features white people bleating on about diversity. My boss, a middle-aged black women who grew up in the south has little or no use for it because she knows that even though the folks taking part believe that they are being sincere and well-meaning, it…

I hate to be this person but the sex scenes in the Outlander wedding episode were really well done. But they were pertinent to the plot and they were filmed from a female point of view and there is a very literal shot of the female gaze in action. So I might be biased.

The problem with PDX is that there is a lot of good stuff outside of security. On the other hand, security lines are generally not terrible, so there’s that. 

I always make sure that my Houston layovers are long enough for some Pappadeaux.  

You take way wilder flights than I’ve ever had.  

Are you sure you don’t judge people? Because, speaking as a drinker, I feel kind of judged. My point here is this: judge away. You do you. This is the internet, after all.  Just don’t pretend you’re not judging when you clearly are. 

No. When I was a little kid my aunt and my grandmother were terrified of toilet seats and required me to hover, which is hard to do when your legs are only about 18 inches long to begin with. And this was way before the 80's.

It’s clear you’re telling the truth because if you had ever been in an Ikea, you would know that there is no such thing as walking straight to anywhere. 

I watched Deadwood after I watched several seasons of Sons and I kept getting knocked out of the story every time a future Sons actor turned up. I have to say that I didn’t recognize Jane - I didn’t know she was the lady lawyer until I saw it in IMDB.  

My thought exactly.

One of my favorite co-worker stories involves velveeta. Back in the 90's I worked with a person who we would now call a “foodie.” I don’t remember what we called her besides “annoyingly snooty” or maybe “gourmet.”

I like empathy, kindness, self-awareness and courage as much as the next gal, but funny men are sexy men.  Unless they’re assholes.  I guess what I mean is that all other things being equal, the funny guy is going to win.  

I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that someone not burdened with an obsession with the source material might write a more helpful review for someone trying to decide if a show is worth their time. If I shared the reviewers obsession with the source material, this would be a super-helpful review. But since I don’t,…

You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning.

It’s not an either-or kind of a thing. You can be busy during the week and do a lot of ordering in but you can also spend some leisure time on the weekends cooking and maybe you can have leftovers some of those nights instead of take out.  That’s what I do.  

I am almost never entirely satisfied with the way that horror stories end and this isn’t any different. I was appalled at what they did to the book quote there at the very end - I didn’t quite laugh out loud but it was close.

That should say “haven’t we ALWAYS known...”

I think it’s because she basically wrote all of these reviews at the same time. With a weekly show, there is time in between episodes to chew on things, to digest them. To get over whatever emotional reactions you had a week ago and to come to the show fresh. That can’t happen in this format, which I am increasingly…
