I was a boy who was assaulted. I have lots of background.

Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m at. I’ve always been of the opinion that 1) David and Dan were always under the impression that Martin was deconstructing high fantasy, when in fact he was reconstructing it, and 2) David and Dan aren’t particularly good at deconstructions, because you have to know a genre inside and…

To be extra fair... don’t besmirch B5! Even by today’s standards that show rocks. BSG is the one that came closest to really covering some of the darker aspects of B5. (DS9 was good too, my favorite Star Trek). Man... I watched it after the election and watching Captain John stand up to the tyrannical forces of…

A smell is literally molecules in the air. The only way to smell something is to have physical contact in your nose.

I have a shellfish allergy. That’s not how mine works. I’ve been desensitizing myself for years. I used to get a reaction just from being in a restaurant with a strong shellfish smell - the same thing with the throat itching, eye itching, and breathing issues. The first shellfish I ate after at least a decade of…

The part that ruined it for me was the movie’s treatment of Chewbacca. This glorious, hot-headed Wookie is stuck in the same dead end job he had 30 years ago (playing galactic chauffeur to some magic kid); his best friend is dead; his other old friend turns out to be a crusty wanker; he’s surrounded by annoying…

I don’t really think that’s fair.

Can any of your opinions be qualified as “not awful”?

Your standard bullshit again of nothing being enough. Fuck off would you kindly.

Luke was not pwning sith lords in his teen years. The film establishes he has piloting skill, has him be entirely at vader’s mercy in the climax until Han saves him, and his big achievement is making a shot without a targeting computer...by calling upon the force.

If luke had: learned force powers in a day, beaten…

Well at least they got one thing right. Poe is a garbage person. He is the Star wars holiday special of star wars characters. more specifically the section where all the wookies speak to each other for 15 minutes with no subtitles.

Hold his daughter hostage in a foreign country!

He said it’s a bit of a witch hunt?!? GET HIM!!!

Its ok! Hes got the Vampire Chronicles all lined up to bail on halfway through season 1 now!

Yeah, but wouldn’t be kinda fun to see a sitting President of the United States go through divorcee proceedings? Sir, have you no sense of schadenfreude?

It should be eye-opening to the Nth degree that we currently hold YouTube stars to higher degrees of decency (and a lack thereof) in what they say and do in a public forum than we do the goddamn President.

I very rarely side with the “now so you’re just being silly” side on this issue... but yeah, that piece might be pushing things a bit too far.

“so do our sensibilities and our awareness of the ways in which injustice operates systematically.”

You can usually count on Ruprecht saying something controversial, Keyser getting really upset, and the two going at it on pretty much any comment section for any article discussing socially hot topics.

I noticed the Jezebel version of this article had this extra bit: she says he admitted “it was wrong for him to have a sexual relationship with someone he knew to be in recovery for substance abuse.” Wow, so add that to the problems ex-addicts have to face, they can’t have sex either.
