If it's your false memory, it's my false memory, too. The Giver always read like a small town dystopia, to the point that everyone gets assigned to work in places like the fisheries. This looks they just settled in the most Brutalist parts of San Francisco and tried to pass it off as the community of the future.

So, Gina and Jana. I might be willing to write off the tide of misogyny as a general lack of intersectionality and other Tumblr buzzwords on Williamson's part, but… he IS a gay man, right? Because, as a casual observer of this train wreck, the major gay characters on this series tend to be one stripe of psycho or

Didn't he get his start writing for DS9 and Voyager? You knew it was gonna crop up sometime.

I should never have taken him to see The Wiz.

Likewise, they did the whole Franklin/Tobais riff in Season 1 because Benjamin Raspail was first mentioned in Silence, and they couldn't do the whole "I think my friend is a serial killer" thing with him.

There's also the episode where laziness is causing the universal order to breakdown into utter entropy, and Cecil's at least glad he saw how Breaking Bad ended.

I'd like to at least vacation in New Crobuzon. Not live there, as it is (quite literally) a socialist's vision of all the worst parts of the Industrial Revolution, but it'd be good to see the vodyanoy working on the docks, the Ribs of some great megalithic beast from prehistory, the artist's community, the hideous

Maybe the Isle of Man. I hear it's like Whore Island, only for women.

Yeah, that was one of those cases where everyone sobered up a few years down the lines, went "Ummmm…", and retconned it so that Joker was instead Ambassador for Qurac, a Middle Eastern state that was more insane and (also important) more fictional.

I'm not Commander Shepard, but this is still my favorite post on the Citadel.

I'm fighting for this woman's honor! Which is more than she ever did.

Don't forget the episode about the perils of teenage drinking. For a show that deals with sex crimes and child abuse to bust out its "ultra-important PSA" card on this topic was hilarious enough in the first place, and the follow-through is even worse. The funeral scene was like one of those eulogies from "Heathers,"

I remember that season, and daaaaaamn, he was a tiny Irish sprite with a fauxhawk. Whatever regimen he's on, I want two of it.

So, how does it feel to be The Worst?

Goddamnit it, yes. I'm not anywhere near a drag queen, and my sense of creative fashion is limited to "Which band T-shirt today?", but my inner queen was shouting BITCH, YOU GOT DENIM AND RED CHECKER. How hard is it to fashion that shit into a waistcoat that would go over your goddamn cow dress? There, you have trash

God, that was the bit that pissed me off the most with the translation. In the comics, Veidt is supposed to come across as this American Dream made flesh - the child of immigrants who made his own fortune, traveled the world, and uplifted himself to physical perfection in the name of saving others. He's supposed to

Every time, I want to watch something! And then it gets cancelled! I get so invested, and…

No, let's just say they've moved on to something… darker.

Buff Drinklots!

Quit your bellyaching, Buck Rogers, it's just a diver's watch!
