Didn't the guy that founded Canada end any slavery there? It has to be around that time almost. They could get slaves into Canada. If they're going to do the revolution, it would be better to take a different angle than usually.

Office Space was a seminal performance.

Plus, no fanfiction, we get no slash. I mean, come on.

That screamed out to me. Doth protest too much. Wasn't 10 Things I Hate About You also from Shakespeare? Now I'm wondering if Claire is supposed to be the Doctor then? Which? I find the authors' overall derision is condescending and arrogant tbh, outside of the discussion about their intellectual property. Especially when you've got tons of examples of how it's helped people find community, etc. And they are making money off these people. Ironically, in the Tenth Doctor's run they did an episode about a bunch of people who found one another because of their brief interactions with Ten. They formed a little a band and got together for cookouts or something.

Escape To The Chateau - General Discussion
DoctorAtomic replied to Frost's topic in Escape To The Chateau
I'm not sure why everything needed to be shoved in the van. You can sleep outside in tents. I really liked the wood. -
So they don't like that their works inspired people to be creative and play in the worlds they created? Or fostering new communities of friends? I can understand not wanting people to make money off your intellectual property, but get a grip.

That's fine, but that takes a single line of dialogue.

Does she not know how fanfiction works?
-
I think she's an EP on the show. I know what the poster was saying. I was pointing out that there isn't martial rape on the show, so we're saying there's a problem on the show, and that's not included, think how heavy it is.
-
Consider if I'm saying there isn't marital rape on the show, and I'm still expressing concern at the level of sexual assault. Claire become a doctor, she should have learned kung fu.
-
I haven't read the books, but what's in the show isn't marital rape. Claire went through the stones and within about 5 minutes was almost raped. The author's got issues beyond just 'it was the past,' and she could work with the current show to actually develop plots alternatively.
-
That was the prevailing opinion here when the show was airing.
-
No, but the op you quoted is correct. On social media, whenever reasonable people make a comment about sexual assault being a quite often go-to plot point, the ardent defenders always say, "it was the past." Well, it is fiction, and the author came up with those plots. So, it's like, 'where are you coming from here?' I like enough of the show to keep watching or I just wouldn't bother. However, once they pulled it again with Bonnet, it was like, 'all right. You need to talk to someone, lady.' I take the overall point, which is overwhelmingly the case but if you mean that guy, the agent? Him and Adlon are of similar age, so it wasn't like 45 and 23. He was shown to be largely an even keeled character iirc, and the actor beat cancer irl, so that's why he was bald. I just don't think it applies here. Ironically, Duchovny's character did have sex with 20 y/o (characters), and the main character arc was with one who was underage at the time (unbeknownst to him, the character). So it's the same trope on a different character. His on again off again gf/baby mama continually called him on it though. Weird show.
-
If that's the case, I'm seriously concerned about the author of the Outlander books. Who was balding and doughy on Californication? Duchovny had a lot of sex, but he's not that.
-
I think he's bore the brunt of her hubris the most. Tragedy should dictate he does, but the shot to the gut is the tv drama shot. Great song to end on.

Wow I didn't expect Sib's mom to totally roll on Grace with the $2500 question. Another great Jackie kitchen monologue. I liked that Jackie is actually being shown to be good at his job in making the leap about Grace and the bail. And getting a legal subpoena!
-
In Living Color shout out. Nice. With a Dunkin Donuts cup. I didn't realize Anton shot from the drivers side *and* completely missed? How is her right arm in a cast? That's some JFK magic bullet shot. I think they took a little too long to get there, but clearly this is the strength of the show. I liked that they copped to Decourcy v Sib not being a good idea, and having him on her shooting case is patently ridiculous. His tall cop friend at least felt bad. Maybe, maybe not. I can buy people not coming to the shop. Could she find a job in a shop far enough away? It's a big enough city. I think so. She's trash though. I don't get this plot though. She's totally separate from the rest of the show. Not sympathetic at all. I mean, she wouldn't have the dead bro in law if she didn't literally kill him. I still don't get how she's selling the drugs.

Where was Jeff? Even though it was only a short gag, I cracked up at the drinking card game. We used to play so many of those. Drinking jenga, for one. Great animation for the skyline too. I can't be the only one who laughed at the dead millennials joke. Is 'SNL' trademarked? Because they showed 'S and L' on the sign. It sounded like they said 'Colin Jokes' anyway. I liked 'spy instincts' was just Stan punching the shit out of the bomber. Though, 'talk about bombing' was a good joke.

Faux Life: Things That Happen On TV But Not In Reality
DoctorAtomic replied to Kromm's topic in Everything Else TV
There should totally be fake awards for all this stuff. -
I don't see Kobe as much of a tweeter.
-
He did not. That's like that in most sports though. There's this nostalgia about being with one team your whole life, and how that's somehow 'better'. I think part of it is that most people aren't contract workers and just don't understand that market.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN. We haven't seen Rudy's mom yet either iirc.
