Similarly, there's an episode of House where Cuddy bitches that House comes to her "about 25 times a year" with some absolutely extravagant procedure he needs to perform for some absolutely nonsense reason.

According to his Wikipedia page (which I assume he curates, if only to fend off the tide of "Chuck Austen is a fuckboy who…" entries), he was a producer on Steven Universe and has since moved on to running Part-Time Hero on Disney XD. No idea how good that show may be, but hopefully it has less exploding Communion…

Apparently, Chuck Austen is now a producer on Steven Universe.

One anecdote I remember from "The Offspring" is of the scene where Guinan shows Data's android kid what love is, as one inevitably does with all nascent robots. Her original line was, "When a man and a woman fall in love…", and Whoopi had to fight the producers to change it to "When two people fall in love…"

Go home, Internet, you're drunk.

Then again, he was also a writer on Midsomer Murders, who went to bat when his boss got fired for saying the show distinctively lacked black actors because it was "a last bastion of Englishness." He said that, while it wouldn't HURT to have black people on the show, there wasn't a pressing need to cater to a minority…

Yeah, I suppose it might be easier to go into the details of how and why he got rejected from transitioning therapy over the course of a series. That way, you can still do it while exploring transsexualism from a perspective that's not, "Oh, no, he's not that, he's just way more fucked up."

It's not like even the original was making a broad societal statement, either, but it's the repeated use of "male features + female features = fucked up" in villains that seeds a pattern. It's a bit less intense now, but there was a whole spate of flicks where the bad guy being a man presenting as a woman was meant to…

It's probably been discussed in the episodes threads, in which case, forgive me, but I'm kind of curious how they'd do Jame Gumb in the era of less shitty trans representation in media. Yes, I know the movie had the qualifier - "Buffalo Bill's not trans, he's just an extremely broken man who wants to be anything other…

Bieber. Skrillex. Diplo. 100% fuckboy, not from concentrate.

And apparently Britney wanted to play the Taryn Manning character (the date rape victim who miscarries after a fall down the stairs), but then someone stepped in and said, "Guys, it's BRITNEY SPEARS." So she's in the lead role and suddenly the lead role is super good at music and it's just so discordantly bright and…

I've been using "FUCK, WE'RE ALL DEAD! GET THE FUCK OUT!" with startling regularity lately.

I know, right?

I remember, when I was younger, my brain rebelled against the very existence of that lyric and swore it was, "The best foreign object that you've ever had in you."

"Would you foreclose me? I'd foreclose me. I'd foreclose me HARD."

"I am the Diamond Dog, and you call me insane. You are privy to a great Becoming. Before me, you will tremble."

Has there been some behind-the-scenes drama I missed on Wicked City? All I really know about it thus far is it looks like someone ordered Dead Girl Town to series.

No, no, it's Vincent Kartheiser of Masterminds.

Oh shit Dr. Brain was my jaaaaaaam.

"OH SHIT, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GO ON, GET OUT OF HERE, YOU STUPID IDIOT! FUCK, WE'RE ALL DEAD! GET THE FUCK OUT!"
