“Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, or whatever...”

“Lake was only 14 when her family moved to California, and she soon wound up in Manson’s camp.”

The connection’s less explicit than with the eye and the ravens, but I can definitely see lumping a Trickster archetype in there, yeah.

More importantly, Perrin is Thor (and Vulcan). Mat is Odin. Rand is Tyr (and Jesus.)

I’m going with “depends on whether there’s a season 2,” which there is, so probably not.

Hulu was co-founded by ABC, NBC and FOX. ABC was owned by Disney, which bought FOX, and NBCUniversal didn’t feel like being a minority partner in the platform, so they sold their remaining third to Disney for a cartoonish amount of money, and will be debuting their own platform sometime next year.

“new dad,” not “her new dad.”

But did Aunt Pam vote for Clinton, or did she hold her nose and hope the more principled members of her party would keep Trump in check?

Sure, but his opinion was “go away, guys” rather than “so I’m going to walk away.” Not wanting to watch more MCU movies makes sense. Wanting them to stop making MCU movies is a dumb take.

Doctors don’t like the term “cure”, particularly with things like cancer. Total remission means there are no measurable signs of cancer present. The tumorous mass has been removed, and the cells remaining in the area all appear to be behaving themselves. But we don’t actually have a way to scan the genetic code of all…

That’s the summer for you.

It was originally jointly owned by ABC, NBC and FOX. Disney owned ABC, then bought FOX, giving them the 66% share, and NBCUniversal negotiated a buyout rather than remaining a minority (and thus powerless) partner.

I believe the joke was that double nothing is nothing.

Absolutely true. But Spike also still contains his demonic half...he didn’t stop being a vampire when he earned his soul. I think it’s fair to say that metaphysically, Angel (a body with both a demon and a soul inside), Angelus (a body with just a demon inside) and Liam (a body with just a soul inside) are different…

He was re-cursed by Willow at the end of season 2. But my point wasn’t that he’s un-cursed, my point is that the terms of the curse (contrary to what the dialog in some episodes seemed to think) were not about sex, they were about happiness. Angel’s quite capable of having sex, as long as he deep-down doesn’t really…

Angel lost broke the curse when he felt a moment of pure happiness. That happened to occur when he made love to Buffy. It’s not just the sex--hate-banging Darla didn’t put a scratch on the curse.

Angel’s soul was a curse; he didn’t want it back.

Well, he drank enough on camera to kill me, so...

Though, I’ll say I do believe JMS when he says he was intending to write a romance between them, but that he was taking it slow to keep the network from dropping a hammer on the plot.

Saying Babylon 5 was direct is being pretty generous. Ivanova and Talia’s relationship got no explicit mention in dialogue and the most physically affectionate moment I believe was a touch on the hand. There were things that certainly hinted at it, JMS definitely had a relationship planned, but it was a deliberately…
