“treated normal like everyone else” =/= one openly gay character in the 22nd MCU film.

People can have different opinions because art is subjeeeective! But no, it’s much more fun to accuse people of being corrupt instead of elaborating on your ideas.

It also rained at Yale in Girls in Bikins, Boys Doin’ the Twist, leading to Paris’ best line: “No, it’s National Baptism Day. Ties your tubes, idiot.”

Just a heads up everyone, the article here has spoilers past this episode.

At the very least, they clearly introduced Sam (Jane's bf before Michael) and mentioned him again in this episode as setup for Jane's first love interest as a widow. In all likelihood she ends up with Rafael afterwards for some length of time (it's too much easy drama). In the end though, I think the show could…

I get where you're coming from and I'm sure it's helped you overcome obstacles in your life. The most constructive thing I can say is that your advice isn't universally applicable. It can be helpful to some and damaging for others which is really difficult to tell on the internet.

Robert was a recurring LDB member that sorta faded out of existence as time went on. He's most notable for being the one that Rory goes on a date with to a Quentin Tarantino-themed costume party (basically to make Logan jealous). Colin and Finn were definitely way more prominent.

I think you have some good points, but your reading is a little ungenerous.

I love that there's someone else ticking off references. It's sort of a marvel they touched on so many parts of the show's history. They even threw in a Nicole and Max reference right near the end during Lorelai and Luke's argument/engagement. Plus Digger and Umlauts. Oooh and even a quick mention of the Twickham…

Look, Dean isn't too many genetic steps away from a Wookiee.

I didn't really read Tristan's "return" in this episode as anything but an opportunity to reactivate Paris' anxieties and show that she's still a neurotic mess. Plus it parallels Rory and provides SWEET SWEET continuity references to the high school years.

Look, he did a lot of dumb shit but then you look at Angel and Spike's pile of terrible things and he suddenly seems a lot better.

They establish she gets injured pretty badly by a vampire earlier in the episode. Which might not be sufficient reason but it was a thing.

Uhhh. Angel Season Five was showrun by Jeffrey Bell. Jed and Maurissa only started collaborating with Joss with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

The availability isn't the issue, it's whether the VA office will take away his benefits if he's taking "illegal" drugs.

And then Dean yells at Lindsay for answering his phone. God they really torpedoed that character HARD.

Lindsay was mixing meds with Paul (the green bottle?), wildly under-dosing his pain meds or both. Poor dude.

Arya at least is divorced from the Westeros events enough that it can make sense. Her storyline occurs before/during the first few episodes this season for the South. I don't think there have been any concrete intersections between those storylines since she killed that Kingsguard dude last season.

And then all the secondhand-heroin-addled vampires will be super-confused and unable to fight!

I'm just glad we got an opportunity to use the perfectly Victorian word "miasma."
