Okay, fine, I'll jump back in. Sava seemed to dislike the episode because he thought it was somewhat ethically questionable, i.e., he was offended. I disagreed with him, you disagreed with me, so I was trying to figure out exactly where you stood, whether you liked the episode but thought I was wrong, or disliked the

I think he stuck around for most of this season. I know he boarded some of Stakes.

Whoa, careful. You said he got offended, that means that nothing you ever say is worth taking seriously now.

That basically what I said. I just put more emphasis on the fact that that isn't always an easy thing to do, since Sava seemed to think it was somehow selfish of PB to treat her brother the way she did.
EDIT: Woops, I misread that; I thought you said that MY reading wasn't what you got from it. Sorry, my correctional

KOO was messing with him. That's why he got scared and ran off in the first place.

"People get built different. We don't need to figure it out, we just need to respect it."
That really, really sounds like a message to me.

You didn't answer my question. I am sensing hostility.

And I mean this sincerely, by the way. I think this can be read as a sum-up of what the show is all about, in the tart-toter's own garbled way. The world is crazy, and it can do you harm, but if you hang on to a little childlike wonder and joy, then it's worth hanging around. Compare it to Finn's response to the comet

What are you getting at, exactly? Did you find the episode offensive like Sava, or did you like it and feel that I'm interpreting it incorrectly?
And for the record, I am an introvert, but I do have a social life. I front a rock band, so I'm alright with venturing out of my comfort zone a bit. My point is that some

Well, no, but often birth defects = introverts. And anyway, Bonnie's whole point was that she doesn't view Neddy as having a defect. Some people want to be banana guards or gravediggers or massage therapists, and some people want to stay inside and suck on tree-roots. Some peple might only be ABLE to stay inside and

"This cosmic dance of bursting decadence twists all our arms collectively. But, if sweetness can win—and it can—then I'll still be here tomorrow, to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace."

My guess is that season eight (Which has already been ordered) will be their last. And I'm okay with that; I'd rather see an epic finale soon then watch the show fizzle out over the next five years or so. Think about this: if they're willing to do an eight-parter about a supporting character in the middle of the show,

Dammit, Sava.
"[T]he implicit message is that people who are different should be completely isolated from others…"
Uh, no. The implicit message is that you shouldn't force introverts to do things that will make them sad and afraid and won't help them at all. The reason this episode is so touching is precisely BECAUSE

I'm not going to lie, that's kind of adorable. But also really fucked up. I guess that's Harley's character in a nutshell right there.

I wouldn't call that punk. It's cool though, thanks.

Yes, but I'm talking about Hollywod in general. After seeing how bad Pan did, every studio in Hollywood is going to start backing off from tat style, moreso when this comes out. Alice made a bunch of money, but audiences weren't exactly thrilled by it for the most part; that's why this is going to let them down.

Hell, I would bet that if they weren't already committed to this movie, after the disaster of "Pan", they wouldn't be bothering with this at all.

I'm no expert on hip-hop, but I'm pretty sure this is really fucking good.

I imagine that that will change over the years. He's had ten years to get used to a style of comedy so reliant on sarcasm that it crosses over into playing a character who means what he says but is supposed to be an idiot, so essentially what he's done is start dialing that back to where he's just a really sarcastic
