You know what could have prevented this? Not ending the season with a totally unnecessary and BS cliffhanger.

Ick.

I took it as innocent pre-adolescent attraction. My impression is that kids that age don't really understand what "dating" behavior is all about, but they've seen enough to understand (some of) the pieces and what the expectations are. A boy "likes" a girl" so he's supposed to want to kiss her and take her to the

Ah, well my 10-year old daughter is already interested in boys, and, to my terror, boys are already interested in her. So I guess it's possible.

How old are they actually supposed to be? I was 13 in 1983, and these kids seem right around there, maybe a year or two younger. I was definitely interested in girls by then.

Am I the only one who wants the sisters high school friends to die horribly?

Well, Data is incapable of jealousy, and I never got the impression he was interested in anyone BUT Tasha (though what would it mean for Data to be interested in anyone in that way). It's actually kind of perverse if you think about it. He's basically a sentient sex doll to her.

According to Memory Alpha, she'd be 22, which is certainly young, though I suppose with the nepotistic nature of Romulan society, given that her father was a warlord, perhaps not unexpected. Also, as Tasha's daughter, she might have been a military prodigy.

I'd argue Tasha and Data were closer, certainly in a physical sense.

My favorite part about Yesterday's Enterprise is how it seeds in the conflict with Romulans later on, when Yar's daughter is a Romulan commander. Talk about changing the timeline!

Even if Margery had been allowed to leave the Sept once the penny dropped, there's no way she would have escaped the blast radius of that explosion. Based on the way it spread out, it looked like it took out a major portion of the city. The only way she might have survived is to have stayed home with Tommen that day.

My favorite line of the episode was when Jared says to Dinesh and Gilfoyle, "Don't you see, you're each others' best friend!" Because I've been thinking that very thing All. Season. Long.

Ahem. I think you mean CAPTAIN Obvious.

"Run ramshod" is not an expression. "Ramshod" is not a word. I think you mixed up "ramrod" with "run roughshod." #pedantry

It seems to me you're working really hard to make excuses for Selina in this episode. Everything I saw here was just despicable. If she had had one single moment of genuine grief in the whole show, I would have bought this explanation, but she was nothing but bitter and calculating throughout. Yuck. This is Selina as

Well that dagger could only have done 1d4 damage, so assuming that it's the sneak attack damage that put him down, she must have had some mad rogue levels — or else Areo had a Constitution of, like, 6.

What always struck me about Omen II was that even though there was a pretense of Damien struggling against his identity as the anti-Christ, it's clear from the beginning that he's bad news. Early scenes of him leading his cousin astray and goading others into bad behavior serve to show that his character is such that

I didn't see any evidence that they DIDN'T also serve coffee there.

Yeah, I was just about to make that point. Whatever else Walt did, he really did genuinely want to keep Hank alive.

What's striking about Chuck's behavior is that — consistently — he's willing to subject himself to enormous pain and suffering for the sole purpose of screwing Jimmy over. Whether it's donning his lead-lined suit to undermine Jimmy in front his colleagues, showing up at the copy shop to get the dirt on Jimmy, or
