Funnily enough, I never read any of the Gossip Girl books — one of my friends expressly wouldn't let me borrow hers because she didn't think I was "mature enough" for it. But yeah, if the spinoff is any indication I'm kind of glad I gave it a miss.

The Klan is a couple different groups at this point, but yeah, most of them have dropped the anti-Catholic part.

Holy shit, I've read that It Girl book.

That song made it worth it.

Burr, check what we got.

Would've if I knew how.

1. I'm asexual
2. I don't have the right genital configuration for any of that to even be possible

I absolutely am not.

The only thing I ask for in a perfect future of movie-going is that they turn the goddamn volume down a little. Or offer sensory-friendly screenings for movies not made for children.

Hm, I've never seen that idea get applied to Buffalo Bill. I guess I understand the idea, but to my limited knowledge it doesn't seem like that's the problem. I'd have to read the book and/or watch the movie again to be sure, though.

I wasn't too big on Serafinowicz's take in the radio version (I always imagined Crowley being constantly on the verge of freaking out and only barely holding it in, while his version seemed a lot calmer), but I'd take him over Tennant.

I can't see him as anything but the Tenth Doctor.

It's like if Moriarty and Watson were combined into the same character.

Yes and no. The problem isn't so much about including all kinds of people in the ranks of the show's serial killers, but the impact that the franchise's prior usage of Buffalo Bill specifically has had. Like, I used to moderate a forum for trans people and people would show up just to troll us with Buffalo Bill…

I was kind of hoping for some lesser-knowns myself, but it would be difficult to keep me from watching an adaptation of my favourite book.

(I'm only pointing this out because your username is going to cause some unfortunate jokes otherwise: her name is Bedelia.)

That's actually a really good idea, especially since (to my understanding) Bill's not even intended to be an actual trans person so much as someone who hates himself so much that he's trying to become someone else entirely. Having a trans protagonist would help underline the difference.
