Again, this cognitive dissonance is par for the course with active duty soldiers. They often talk about killing in an extremely cold, jarring, disconnected way. It wears off after they leave the military and that’s why you see so many suicides. Their defense mechanisms crumble and they realize that they’ve killed…

He’s done some shitty stuff but that comment made sense in context. He was describing derealization from combat trauma. It’s a defense mechanism you hear a lot from veterans ie that things feel unreal, like video games or being in a movie. He later spoke about how the combat experience amplified trauma he had from…

And Knocked Up WAS kind of sexist! I’m a total Heigl apologist. Life As We Know It is my favorite rom com and she’s a good actress. Spacey got to have a career for years. How “difficult” could she possibly be?

I think Nathaniel and Rebecca are willtheyorwontthey-ing until the finale. I hope she gets someone who’s not in the existing cast.

I’ve never sided with a man in this sort of context ever, but didn’t Kantor and Twohey scoop him while he was shopping around his completed piece? It was done in the early summer and he would have broken the story had NBC not been garbage cowards. The reason he had even more extensive, wide ranging reporting is that…

THANK YOU. I’m glad someone else noticed the Fantastic Beast weirdness. Firstly, why was 1920s New York SO WHITE. I would have preferred Kowalski to be a Harlem bandleader played by Yasiin Bey on the run after witnessing a mob shooting instead of having four white characters. You don’t get hijack the fun 20s jazz…

As someone with similar mental health issues, I actually think it would be nice to see her happy in a healthy relationship. We are so often made to feel like we have to find ways to be happy alone because we will definitely end up alone. It would be nice to see a healthy relationship for me. “Crazy” women don’t get…

Rebecca has behaved in an equally if not more sociopathic way for the past three seasons. I’m not defending him, I’m just saying that if there’s redemption for HER there’s redeption for anybody. I also have terrible judgement though, so I’m with you.

I was on the fence, but I now firmly prefer Nathaniel. He read that whole packet and still waited up for her, understood her, waited for her to come home. I think she is going to just dropkick his wounded heart and man, that bums me out but might help him grow.

Yep, that was a Nathaniel line. He immediately summed up Josh and deemed him a human flip-flop. I know he’s the worst, but I love Nathaniel. I also root to for Jaime Lannister and he tried to kill a child, so what do I know? 

I mean, yeah, but as was illustrated in songs like “Duh” and basically the whole show, he’s also just a tad dumb. He’s hot and a bit dumb. My Filipino friend said she loves Josh and Jason from The Good Place because they show bro Filipinos and dumb Filipinos and, direct quote, “All of my cousins on my dad’s side.”…

I agree. Josh is a very specific kind of SoCal bro and those are less compelling than bitter drunks, personality wise. I love Scott Michael Foster, but I also had the thought that John Cho could do a great Nathaniel. I hope more shows give more opportunities for Asian actors, because Constance Wu should be the star of…

Double post! Sorry!

I didn’t hate Greg partially because Santino is ridiculously charismatic, but he was a really selfish, fucked up character and I was glad when their relationship ended. I think Rachel and Aline really did a good job presenting what it’s like to date an alcoholic with emotional issues. People always say, “They had a…

They didn’t break contract. They put a clause in their contract so they could return to Katy when her tour started. They chose Katy because she was a better friend and a better boss. There are many stories about Taylor being shitty to crew and photographers.

They didn’t break contract. That was the crazy part. They put a clause in their contract that allowed them to return to Katy when she started touring again. Katy started touring and they went through with the deal. Taylor then freaked out. It sounds like Katy is a better employer and has real friendships with her…

It’s actually one of the least painful ways to die. You feel warm and confused and then fall asleep. If it’s any comfort to the family. That’s a really sad story.

She has a really, really dry sense of humor that she doesn’t get credit for. I saw her talk about this in an interview, and it was in a joking, “I enjoy watching Ancient Aliens in my sweatpants and reading silly books,” way. She was funny on New Girl.

Yeah, that’s not an unreasonable reaction. It’s hard to understand how someone could think like that unless you grew up in an abusive home. You end up blaming both of your parents for not protecting you from their nonsense. I loved the documentary and really felt for her daughter.

I’ve read accounts of Celts wearing similar braids, but that’s an entirely different ethnic group separated by time and linguistics and yeah, don’t cite Vikings please.
