Speaking of assertions, you can't know it's "factually untrue." Even if you could somehow prove that two people in a low oxygen environment can expire at very different rates while both presenting signs of oxygen deprivation simultaneously, it doesn't make the show not made up bullshit. So careful with your own…

You can rationalize it all you want, but I'm never going to buy it. Maybe if Finch didn't start gasping for breath at the same time as Greer. Maybe if they presented realistic symptoms instead of kryponite weakening. Maybe if Greer lost consciousness before he was able to finish his monologue. Maybe if it was Reese…

Have you ever been on a plane and seen multiple people with splitting headaches? This is altitude sickness or mild hypoxia. It happens when a plane barely meets the standards for cabin pressurization and people have trouble breathing in enough oxygen. People die from this every year. Some people are more susceptible…

Probably because if he can't be bothered to stop shooting sprees, he's not going to give a fuck about comments sections on the internet.

I also thought about this, but not for long. Yes, the machine could have protected itself, severed all connections when the time came. But as dutifully demonstrated by this episode, the Machine knows that her role is to protect people and their choices, not to make their choices for them. There is always the…

for me to poop on!

Recap is coming.

Silhouettes and excellent sound design go a long way. But, production costs and scene planning can go by the wayside if you have to stick a blurry out of focus dragon in the background.

Probably easier to animate him with mocap than the unmocappable dragons.

I'm bugged that Arya can shrug off what looks like severe lacerations to her liver and intestines, possibly a lung, like it was the flu. But whatever, cheap magic trick to make us scared that Arya's story was pointless on top of being tedious.

She took the money back when he wasn't looking.

Hayley Atwell is a treasure. Hope I see her again soon.

depression ≠ alcoholism

You're so full of shit. You really shouldn't pretend to know how the world works unless you're okay with being wrong on a regular basis. And way to obfuscate what I said by making it sound like I said it justifies the death threats. I never said that, so fuck you. And fuck you for using "victim-blaming" in a…

I suspect the Machine detected that he had a thing for her and that's why he randomly kissed her in one of the sims last year.

That was a probable fit for the blank, but I didn't want to reduce Fusco to a comedy sidekick. He's also a reformed criminal and a smart, kick ass dude in his own right. He doesn't fit neatly into any particular mold and that's pretty awesome.

In any event, most of death toll is just fodder. At least it's diverse fodder.

24 was a great show. Some stuff really didn't work, but it's some of the best TV of all time.

Like I said, please don't fall for this. Manipulated statistics is highly likely. Should there be more happy endings for queer couples? Absolutely. The problem, like black actors and the Oscars, lies with under-representation. You get a bunch of white writers together in a room and, even in spite of diverse casting,…

Root became the show to the extent that Spike became the show in season 5 of Angel. Lots and lots of screen time and A plots and pretty much the best dialogue out of everyone else. Reese is cool and all the straight ladies say he's so god damn sexy, but the guy just can't carry a show. No, please don't improvise a…
