Cool. Go now and sin no more.

Are you talking about Miracle Day? Ugh. It has some really amazingly good moments, but for the most part I headcanon that it never happened. Because so much of it is just awful. Bad writing, bad acting, massive plot holes (from a franchise that is infamous for plot holes), really fuzzy logic, bad science that I just…

Right. But really, that’s why you’re getting such backlash from so many people re: your original comment. You seem to be actually trying to listen and understand, which is why I’m going to keep talking, ok? We get told constantly, by individual men (because it is NOT just tv that makes us believe we aren’t good enough…

Your leg was clearly begging for it

(Since somebody already used “Bitches get stuff done”)

No, I figured you didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that, as women, we get told SO MUCH SHIT about what to do with our own bodies, that even when a male-type person is trying to be kind/helpful/caring it tends to feel like space boy up there.

1) You are absolved of feeling like an idiot. To me, Andy Cooper is what happens when Torchwood’s Gwen Cooper marries her partner from the police force....

No, no, that’s where I went, too. In fact, I was trying to figure out just how fucked up her torso/understanding of anatomy must be that her vagina in now in her waist....

I know you’re coming from a good place, but when men say stuff like that this is what we hear:

Yes. And yet, I want a pair. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like Get Waisted. I also think we could go with Elegantly Waisted and use the INXS song as the jingle.

YES. Or British-Indian. Echoes of British Imperialism subverted. How great would that be? These actors MUST be out there.

YUP. I just remember thinking, at the time, that even I found 200 years old to be not particularly impressive; why did she think these kids who lived daily with building from the middle ages would be astonished? Their faces basically said, “Yeah? We have public toilets that are older than that! So what?”

Yes, we would. And, as you said, rightly. But while these look like two very comparable situations, they really aren’t. The power differentials between men and women in society are vast. Women are still routinely considered to be only as valuable as they are deemed attractive. It’s a false equivalency argument.

No, but he could be a British dude with Asian or Spanish heritage. Actually, given the current make-up of Britain, a Bond with Asian Subcontinental heritage would make perfect sense. But that would REALLY blow some minds, wouldn’t it?

Yes, well, the CAR is actually important to the character. and driving a manual is character development: it shows his, idk, need to be in control? Sure, that works. The point is, really and truly, the right car is more important, from a characterization stand-point, than the color of Bond’s skin.

Also, sorry, I now realize that I’m at least the third person to go there in response to you. Which just proves the importance of Gerardo’s intense artistry, I suppose?

Obviously, people have not researched the history of the word “suave,” which was coined in 1990 by Ecuadorian artist Gerardo. All previous Bonds have been too white to be suave. For more information, please see his seminal film, embedded below:

When I was in middle school, we hosted a Russian exchange student. There was a whole group of them who came together, and there were various educational/social activities that they would participate in as a group. One was tour of the state capitol building. On those kinds of tours, the FIRST question the tour guide…
