A French accent would actually make sense for Angelique in canon because she's from 18th century Martinique. /nerd

+1. Don't kill Castiel! Even though he hasn't been around much this season, he's still my sentimental favorite.

I never watched BSG, so I can't speak to that show, but Tricia Helfer has annoyed me in every other role I've ever seen her in and it took Michael Shanks to keep me watching Burn Notice the season she was on there. I have to admit, I was really disappointed to see she'd been cast in this pilot because I was very…

"Female characters with a positive force coming up: Jared says just Castiel."

I would've loved to see Malese Jow in this role. She was so fantastic on TVD, I was sad to see her go.

This just makes me think of that awesome episode of The Golden Girls where that NY specialist is mean to Dorothy and dismisses her concerns and later, after she's been diagnosed with CFS, she runs into him in a restaurant and goes off on him. Yay! Dorothy (and Bea Arthur!) has always been my hero(es)!

From the photo on this post? It looks like some weird prequel to the Star Trek reboot with the beast guy starring as a young Nero. The tattoos! The baldness! The attitude! No wonder he's so cranky when his wife dies on Romulus.

The only movie I can think of off the top of my head was that Ricki Lake movie Babycakes which I watched eleventy billion times as a fat teen.

So SGU movies, huh? Sounds like a plan, Mallozzi. Let's hope, for your fans' sakes, that you do better getting them off the ground than you did the SGA one after you got that show killed.

Well, in my mother's mind, I'm too fat and ugly for a man to actually ever be interested in me, so I'll never be one of those sluts who needs to worry about stuff like birth control and abortions. I'll just spend the rest of my life dutifully caring for her like a good daughter should. (Sadly that last part is true,…

Nope, North Carolina. Maybe they're long-lost cousins? Anyway, my mom also spends a lot of time talking about how college ruined me and made me godless and how I wouldn't care about stupid things that don't concern me like reproductive rights or gay marriage if college hadn't made me think too much. Evil educators at…

Aw, are we sisters? Because I think we have the same mom, except that my mom's rant usually ends with how I'm gonna burn in hell for my sins.

It's a rec list thread! :)

I had this happen to a Muslim (convert) friend of mine in a child custody case — her parents, who were very anti-Muslim, used all sorts of anti-Islamic stereotypes to get the courts to intervene and say she was an unfit mother. They got an emergency injunction for custody and lied to get her to come back into the…

So basically that horrible "Last Man on Planet Earth" movie from the 90s wasn't so far off with its XY disease thing. Good to know we're all gonna be lesbians in the future.

I'm American, I can't be expected to know the geography of my own country!

Look at how bright Vegas shines! You can see it from space!

I will look into this paleolithic diet thing. At this point, I'm willing to look at alternatives because the doctors just keep giving me the 'lose weight, fatty' eye instead of believing me when I tell them what I eat. Someone told me to look into papaya-derived enzymes to help with digestion, too. Thanks!

I would assume losing and maintaining are two different things for one thing.

I wonder if that's the hair color she'll keep for her turn as Naomi Collins in the Dark Shadows remake. Naomi has been historically dark-haired up until now.
