  1. True, she's a bit more of a blintz!
  2. Considering how many people have left Twitter due to bullies, I can't say that I blame him.
  3. Preach. If she doesn't win EVERY award for best actress, there is no justice! I kind of get it. He had lost Elizabeth for so long, and only got her back within the last few weeks. It would be hard to let go so quickly. It wasn't like he fought her or Sykes; he just tried to ask her to live. Yeah, I liked it too. She didn't freak out at the shoot-out at Lacey's so it made sense that she wouldn't freak out in the car. And it played a LOT better than if she had been the typical Damsel in Distress. I really don't know why people get on their knees when someone is threatening to shoot them. My scenario would be "What if I don't? What are you going to do, shoot me????"
  4. No, it was a stupid move on the part of the writers. That was pure PLOTTTT!!!! I'll go into why. I'm sure TPTB tell themselves that they are not don't do racist things -- they can't be racists!!!
  5. It's to prevent the onslaught of trolls who would swarm to the site of a black gay police captain.
  6. This is from last week, but I waqnt to respond. I feel it would have ben far more interesting if Wong and the other guys weren't so obviously corrupt. Maybe Chris was right not to push it -- these guys went up to the edge of the law, but not past it. Also, this is more a story from about 20 years back, before LA came under the consent decree, and the LAPD was forced to crack down on cops like these. Not saying it couldn't happen, just that it's far less likely since civilian oversight of the PD. No reason for them to be a "one and done". They've had other characters come back, so the gun club maight factor into a later episode.
  7. The thing is that it was kind of dumb to guess that there would be a touchdown -- it would have far more sense for one to say "Did you see that call?" and the other to say in disgust "I know!!" There's ALWAYS a bad call, even if there are no touchdowns. As it is, it just grated. Someone on the staff should have caught the problem.
  8. I still get them confused!
  9. My in-laws pray for me a lot, and I thank them, because it shows they want the best for me.
  10. Scully: [Something about not wearing slacks] (because, of course, it's Scully. Followed by "Too bad, cuz my dogs are barkin'", and Jake: "What dogs???"
  11. My wife and I bounced after about 10 minutes of this dreck, when "Whiskey" (ugh) let the woman cuff him to the bar. Sad, stale and stupid -- TEotH is a booooooring choice these days. And, no, the FBI does NOT operate out of the US (and the CIA has a VERY limited role in it). It's off our DVR; I just stopped by to see what others were saying.
  12. It was understandable thyat since this was shot before the game was played, the writers, et al, would expect there to be more than one freaking touchdown in a Superbowl game, but why they didn't reshoot in the 3 weeks after the game is beyond me (other than the fact that they don't seem to care). I was hoping that the pet store being called The Pet Offensive (which I found amusing, if perhaps not in the best taste) would lead to something, but, alas, it was not to be.
  13. 2 words: The Passage. An intriguing concept, well done so far, with a GREAT relationship between the two leads (and a child star who can ACT!).
  14. The phrase "God of the Gaps" came from teologians who warned against using God as a reason (the "how") in human knowledge, because as knowledge grows, "God did it" necomes smaller and smaller. From my perspective, nothing that happens is supernatural in origin -- we just haven't the "how" yet. There's a difference between reason ("how") and meaning ("why"). There is no "meaning" behind gravity or schizophrenia or Na + Cl = NaCl. THere is meaning as to why Johnny fell from the tree or Suzie hears voices or why I put too much salt on my scrambled eggs. {Unless you want, I won't go into "intelligent universe", save to asay I don't think it is, at all.)
  15. Obviouisly, there's no way I can experience this, but I don't think many people know or care who a person's parents are before reacting to their race. And I think that both types (as well as other light-skinned people, such as Latin@s or those from India or the Middle East) have advantages over darker people, regardless of their parentage. But I haven't lived this, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
  16. That's because they're not "vampires", they're "virals"! LOL
  17. No, just showing us how utterly useless Adam is to the main plots (and how neither of them signed for more than about 50% of their conversations).
  18. Funny how none of the tones thought "Oh shit... Zeke..." As the Major has no use for Autumn (or, by extension, her daughter) any more, and Autumn knows too much, she probably had them offed. The Major told her sidekick to let them go but that makes zero sense. Unlike anything else on yhis show. No one refers to a period longer than a day as [x] hours and [y] minutes. It wouls either be [a] days, hours and [c] minutes or just [q] minutes. Just duuuummmmmb.
  19. Clark also murdered the guy on the roof. I think Fanning knows Elizabeth's decision -- she didn't want Lear to go to the Amazon in the first place. And that was before she knew how horrific the "cure" was.
  20. If indeed the clues about "hitting rock bottom" are from T-Pain daring to use auto-tune (the HORROR!!!) thgen he has nothing to regret, and in a genre filled with drug-dealers, wife-beaters and other scum who still make hit records [Side note -- R Kelly was FINALLY arrested for sexuial abuse -- hopefully this time the jurors won't be morons], using autotune isn't something "brought on by himself".
  21. The Grammy's have an "Album of the Year" category (which is different somehow from "Record of the Year"), so I would say not.
  22. There are several "steam-funk" novels and stories set in Freedonia, which is a single black-led republic that comprises much of the Confederacy. Check Milton Davis in Amazon.
  23. Alan telling Nadia exactly (down to the penny) how much of her college fund that her mom wasted was a big step! That's the cliffhanger!!! How do you get the girl past the Fiery Pit of DOOOOOOM!!!!?
  24. My wife is a much better driver than I am, ands enjoys it more, so she does most of the driving. Most of the times I pay when we eat out, but I feel GREAT when she does. Truth.
