I can’t be the only person imagining that list being read aloud by Stefon. <3

OMG I *just* watched the season 8 “Meredith dreams an Alternate Universe” ep, where for all of the show Dr. Bailey is the earlier version of herself, adorably braided but wimpy Mandy (“please don’t call me that”) Bailey, and it was so SO disappointing, except at the very end where she’s standing with all her stuff in…

I’m watching this without sound (stupid speakers) and all I can say is- wow, Sara Ramirez is all kinds of hot.

I kind of love that. :-) Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind “brilliant, blunt, phenomenal hair” to be on my Perfect Best Friend list, but “Emotionless Robot” maybe not so much.

I see all your points, but also remember he saved the whole world from Evil!Willow who, in her grief, was set to destroy everything... but who stopped when confronted with Xander’s unconditional love. Xander was a goofy everyguy, deeply flawed, willing to sacrifice himself for his friends. So Imma’ say only…

It really is. She looks like she’s been gourmet trussed for a roasting pan. Unflattering and uncomfortable.

I’ve been bingeing Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix (at season 8 right now) and the Joss Whedon comparison is spot on. You know how Joss always has an avatar of himself on all his shows, the nerdy guy? Xander, Wash, et al? Ever since the first episode of Grey’s, it really seemed to me that Chandra Wilson was there to be…

That works too.

You know what, we started our exchange here in a way that could very easily have become tiresomely combative, and we’re ending it like polite grown-ass people. Internet high fives!

You can assume whatever you like. You’re baiting me with facts not in evidence. You are avoiding the journalistic standards I mentioned. Tell you what- I think you might well be a creepy pervert who sets alarm clocks to ring when teenage starlets turn 18. But that’s just an opinion, not a fact.

Sarcasm and irony is sometimes hard to convey in print, and on closer reading I do see that’s where you were going with your original comment, so sorry about that.

If you read newspapers and news magazines- and it’s looking more and more like you do not- you will note that the ages of people in a news story are generally reported. It’s not ageism, it’s facts in journalism. Try harder.

You’re going to have to be way more subtle if you want to troll me like that, buddy.

Just wait for it. She’ll be suggesting she was merely employing sarcasm any second now.

I am. I’m also aware of the “it was totally a joke!” defense when called out for something that’s incorrect. Based on your other comments in this thread, I’m leaning to the latter in your case.

Perfect shade, my lady!

Been there. I live in a famously diverse city in a generally polite and tolerant country. So it was an unwelcome surprise to be given very grudging service at a wig store in my neighbourhood, a store generally catering to black customers. They knew I lived in the area, they knew I was needing wigs and wig caps because…

Tell me, why do folks feel the need to add “have a great day!” after calling other people names and trashing their opinions? You’re not the only person who does this, but I am genuinely curious as to why it’s done at all.

You’ll find quite a few commenters actually believe that.

Nope, anyone who is not First Nations is being asked not to wear war bonnets to Coachella et al because it’s cultural appropriation. Same aisle as racism; different shelf.
