I bought a six pack of the Juicy Watermelon Lime Ale, and yeah, it's a pretty bland beer. It's not bad for a hot Summer day when you just want something cold and watery, but it's not something to savor.

The Honey Kolsch sounds good, although Rogue isn't exactly known for their value pricing.

Well, Iron Fist is clearly part of the Marvel package deal that includes Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

As it was, the LotR movies cut a lot from the books.

In theory they want to hit all four demograpics (boys, girls, men, women)

Let's get very technical.

I'm guessing it's just chocolate shaped like a shoe.

Although I agree in principle, some flavors are objectively disgusting.

And they're about as salty as any other chip.

Yeah, I bought some from Safeway out of curiosity, especially for the Honey Butter flavor. They're not terrible, but nothing amazing and aren't that different from a Dorito.

It's interesting going into the show with no preconceived ideas. Pretty early on I accepted the show is mostly allegory and the sci-fi is pretty light. They aren't super interested in world building, they're interested in telling a compelling story of a woman's struggle using real world examples of how women are…

In a resource poor society you could probably provide a fairly small incentive to get fertile women to produce more babies by their own means.

Yes, their plan is terrible. In show it's hinted that the infertility problems very likely are male (and there are some real world data suggesting male fertility is on the decline, possibly due to pollution). Yet in the show there is an implication that Gilead is managing to produce children where other cultures in…

I liked Girls, but she should probably enjoy Minute #14 of her fame.

I think the magazine was complimenting how great she looks now, implying she looked awful before.

Trump clearly wants to be loved and is bothered by his low approval ratings.

My wife and I have had this discussion. To me it's like Game of Thrones; it's interesting to watch and learn about the world she's built, but it's science fiction. She feels it's more reflective of what is actually happening.

I can't help but feel like Nick is going to take revenge on June somehow if she doesn't return his affections.

Another nitpick: What exactly was the Eye hoping to get out of the interrogation of Offred?

Despite her flaws I actually have a lot of sympathy for Serena Joy. The privileged women had their rights revoked the same way all the other women did. Her situation is not enviable, despite the gilded cage.
