I think you’re misunderstanding. Both Trump and Clinton tried to appeal to towns with dying/dead industries. Trump promised he’d make everything the way it used to be, though he had no specifics and had himself shipped jobs outside the country. Clinton promised give $30 billion to coal communities to provide job…

“Americans age 15 to 24 account for nearly two-thirds of chlamydia cases”

I too haven’t seen Season 2 of DD yet (apparently there’s a bunch of mystical stuff in it), but just in the the first season I remember there was that whole episode where Nobu tries to bring the Black Sky (which seemed magical) to NY.

It’s been a while since I saw AoU, but I don’t believe Bruce and Tony fail and then go have a party. They set the computers up to compile or try various permutations to get Ultron to work. One of the attempts that they programmed in works, but before JARVIS can alert Tony, the attempt (which is Ultron) takes control…

I don’t know that Fred was unappealing. He wanted a life as safe and boring as he could get it, and he offered to do anything for Michael Carter. He seemed like a fine guy, just completely wrong for Peggy.

“Would we all really be as excited for the series if they were all only 225 pages or so?”

I actually got the exact opposite message from this episode! I thought that Cat, Cat’s mom, and Alex’s mom have all been mentors or mothers for the women in their lives, and this episode was about some of them realizing that their mothering/mentoring styles weren’t accomplishing what they’d intended. Cat repeatedly…

I don’t remember there being a particular reason for it, no. And actually, I don’t think they meet each other in exact reverse order. Their beginnings and middles are all mixed up (see here:

Agreed, their banter and flirting was amazing and totally sold me on the River/Doctor relationship. I didn’t like it at all for the Tenth Doctor, but loved the way she and Eleven interacted. I’m excited to see how she interacts with Twelve!

I LOVE the twistiness of this show's plots, and the characters feel so realized. I am amazed at how much I enjoy Jennifer's scenes—usually I'm pretty bored with the Crazy Yet Attractive and Useful Lady archetype, but she completely sells that character. She has a personality all her own, clever and referential and a…

I really wish he had. Metatron annoys me so much that I just leave the room when he's in a scene. He's bad enough, but the way he's inexplicably able to fool and manipulate characters (even after they know what a lying manipulative twit he is!) really breaks my suspension of disbelief and makes me think all the…

Holy fuck, what is that outfit? Is she wearing a bikini and robo-boots?

This excerpt is so intriguing! I've loved Sherwood Smith's fantasy books, so this was already on my to-read list, but now I've bumped the book to the top!

I really hope you're right, and Sara is resurrected. I don't care if she comes back evil—I just want her back!

I only read the first book and thought it was incredibly dull. The basic concept of being separated from rest of the universe was pretty cool, as was the (surmised) reason the aliens put the membrane in place, but good god the plot was basically nonexistent (seriously, what happens in Spin? The main character talks…

Yeah, from the blurb and the sample he sounds like a fairly well-worn character type. Plus, the attitude toward women (not just in Jalan's POV, but the blurb cites "willing women" as one of the main excitements of Jalan's quest, and I could not give less of a shit about that) rubbed me the wrong way. The Silent…
