I did think of that, but hibernation involves slowing metabolism radically, and tortoises have slow metabolisms to begin with. Probably opening the fridge every day or two would be sufficient. But they'd want to turn off the interior light so as not to shock Clyde whenever they open the fridge.

But they're not really equivalent. Virtually every American uses or interacts with cars every day, in many cases for several hours a day, in close proximity to thousands of other people also using cars. In terms of deaths relative to active use, there's no comparison.

For me, it's Truly, Madly, Deeply. He is so beautiful in that movie, and so believable as a man who could inspire deep, passionate, intense love, while also being impossible to live with.

Yes, his performance is absolutely the only reason anybody acknowledges the existence of that movie.

We just watched the episode last night, and during the scene where Cassie comes to the brownstone, my husband asked me, "have you read Brat Farrar?"

Like so many women.

You've created a Monster.

I can enjoy a goofy, self-referential story I can read in 2 or 5 or 10 minutes. Thats what fanfic is for.

The opening scene was well-done, but it really was all downhill from there.

I think the bus driver swerved to avoid Reva and/or Jessica and that caused the crash.

I signed in just to upvote this.

I truly forgot what it was like until my daughter started losing her teeth. And then I was amazed: I went through this? and it didn't traumatize me?

The weird thing is that pulling out their own teeth is something basically everybody has done. But it happens when you're a kid, and you kind of forget about it until you have kids of your own and realize how disgusting it is…

It's okay. I would've sworn that was a troll. Maybe it still is!

Yeah, I read a few pages and gave it up on the grounds that it was utterly witless. It's the kind of "parody" I used to write when I was about 12 by swapping out names from a story and pretending it was funny. Like, "Hahahahaha! Instead of being about Zeus and Hera, it's about a cat and a dog! Funny!"

The UK trailer made it look like campy fun. This trailer makes it just look like a slog.

In that last scene, I was expecting Rachel to ask Quinn to fire him. It would be the logical thing to do, but perhaps too straight forward.

Grace was the one character whose backstory I really wanted to know more about.

Yes, one of my first thoughts when the character was introduced was that "Shamiqua" was an incongruous name for her. She's clearly from a professional-class family, who would eschew a name like "Shamiqua" as "ghetto."

Agree absolutely. Ending with that scene of Jeremy and Toxic Mom Shrink was almost enough to make me swear off watching the next season. The episode was obviously meant to end with that image of Rachel lying on her back in the same position, with the same expression on her face, as the first time we see her. That was…
