I don't know if criminal, think she was 17, isn't the age of consent 16 in the US? But it's still icky considering the age difference and the fact that Lucy specifically was not very mature. She wasn't particularly mature when older either, though.

Speaking of family relationships, I can't remember - once it was revealed that Ray is Jock's son, was it ever brought up that he slept with Lucy or have they conveniently never mentioned it again? I think it was the latter but I'm not sure.

The kittens in The Aristocats:

OK, overall I loved this. I rewatched season 2 recently (for some reason, I only have that one on my Disney+) and my main takeaway was how sad it is that all of the FOH stuff is still so much relevant today, 30 years later. So, I'm glad that they don't seem to pull any punches with the parallels to appease people who now complain about any real-world themes in TV shows. Magneto's time leading the X-Men and his trial was one of my favorite storylines from comics and I like how well they updated it for this show. Poor Storm. I am confident though that she will get some great character development out of this and come out stronger (and probably a team leader at some point, I hope). I like how unapologetically badass they made Cyclops. I hate love triangles and the one with Jean and Wolverine is no exception, but I have accepted that writers are probably physically unable to move on from it, so we will always see it in some capacity in every adaptation. Sigh. Still, none of them are among my favorite characters, so I am not too pissed about it. But, this brings me to my one complaint - Rogue/Magneto. No. God, just no. Please, I am begging you, end this as soon as possible!!! I am not kidding, Rogue, Gambit and Magneto are my 3 most favorite X-Men characters and basically my 3 most favorite Marvel characters. But not as a freaking love triangle! 😭 😭 😭 Rogue/Gambit are my OTP, the only comic-book pairing I am seriously invested in and they just finally got some justice and good writing in comics. Magneto doesn't belong into that at all. Why are they doing this to me??? I understand I will not get any Magneto/Xavier canon and I am fine with it. Just please keep him away from Rogue. 😭 😭 😭

I have 4 different versions of Imaginary in my playlist 🤣.

David Tennant is nominated for BAFTA for Good Omens! (Opening titles are also nominated.) BAFTA Television 2024: The Nominations

I guess it's bearable if it's just one episode. I liked many of his stand-alone episodes, it was his season-long plotlines that I had a problem with, specifically that he always left them kind of unresolved and moved on to a newer, bigger and more convoluted storyline.

The only acceptable gender reveal party is if a person tells people their gender themselves. But please, without causing any wildfire, there is enough of those already.

I've noticed something similar recently about people who seem unable to accept that some other people (mostly women) might have different ways to express themselves and might choose to do things that they themselves see as repressing. A woman wants to shave her legs? Must be conditioned by society. She wants to lose a bit of weight? Must be conditioned by diet culture. Sure, some are, and some of these trends or what to call them can be damaging, but not everyone is the same and not everyone does everything they do because of them. As long as the person in question doesn't harm themselves by that behavior, who cares? Do I really want to shave my legs for myself because I feel better that way, or is it a result of hearing everywhere growing up that women should shave their legs? Counterpoint: If I don't, do I really not want to do it or am I just pressured by a trend that claims it's empowering and feminists shouldn't shave their legs, that seems to pop up every couple of years? I don't know and honestly, don't really care. I will shave them when I feel like it and have enough time to do so, or if I plan to wear something that shows them in summer (I hate summer and hot weather and prefer to wear long trousers anyway, so that is only a few times per year). Why not just let everyone do whatever they want. Over-analysing everything others are doing sometimes makes me think that people have way too much free time.

What's interesting is that what we assign as masculine or feminine can be completely arbitrary. For example, blue as "boy" color and pink as "girl" color is only few decades old. Blue used to be considered feminine color and pink and red manly.

I am a vegetarian and usually get very upset at the idea of animals being killed, but for some reason this empathy doesn't extend to insect, spiders and the like. I have no moral issue with killing spiders or mosquitoes, I just need to overcome a bit of fear. I mean, when they are in what I consider "my space", I don't go out of my way to kill them outside in their natural habitat. On the other hand, I can't stand it when people talk about killing fish, chicken or other farm animals. I had one colleague who had horror stories about how she was forced to learn how to kill chicken as a child and I almost started crying right there. I think she saw it as fairly normal thing for a girl to learn, but then again, she had other stories about child abuse that she seemed to consider no big deal.

Same.

Every summer there are warnings not to leave a kid in a car under any circumstances. In can get unbearably hot in a very short time. I would consider it risky under any circumstances, regardless of weather or if the heating/air conditioning is on. You never know what might happen, what if you have trouble unlocking the door or something? Car is like a trap sometimes.

Well, Fallen was a masterpiece, so I agree with you there 😉.

Evanescence was my thing when I was a teenager. I could probably still remember all the texts from Fallen and Open Door, plus several pre-Fallen songs that I downloaded from some sketchy website.

I thought if there was one thing that Disney learned from John Carter, it was that you don't just use a random name for a title, unless it is a unique and well-known one like Loki. Agatha sounds like it could be anything from a rom-com to biography and I would probably just pass on it, if I didn't already want to see it.

Close enough, Slovak 😉.

My peeve is people putting everyone on speaker, especially outside. It's meant for special circumstances when you can't hold the phone, not for regular conversations. Also, it's basic courtesy to inform the other person they are on speaker. Not everybody is fine with strangers hearing their private conversation.

I also love this one from our local singer, she was big for a while in 90's and early 2000's, then kind of vanished from the music scene. I loved the song even as a kid when I didn't relate to the lyrics yet 🙃. (Translation of the name: I want to play fair.) Translation: I am not one of those who can be sweet, gentle and innocent. Pretending that everything is ok. Even when the love has lost its plot. So understand me. You will manage, I hope, to be alone for a while. You have known for a long time that I am not one to be faithful to only one love for ever and ever. That is not me, so why waste any useless words. I want to play fair, not a fake, awkward show. So understand me. You will manage, I hope, to be alone for a while. Chorus: You want to have the one you dream about. The one you'll never loose. But I'm not the giving type. Please let go of me, I have to go. You know well that I'm no angel. So understand that and make peace with it. I want to be free while I can. I want to play fair, so make peace with it. So make peace with it... I am not one of those who can be sweet, gentle and innocent. That is not me, so why waste any useless words. I want to play fair, not a fake, awkward show. So understand me. You will manage, I hope, to be alone for a while. Chorus 3x: You want to have the one you dream about. The one you'll never loose. But I'm not the giving type. Please let go of me, I have to go. You know well that I'm no angel. So understand that and make peace with it. I want to be free while I can. I want to play fair, so make peace with it.

In the spirit of yesterday's International Women's Day:

I wish we could stop with the nonsensical time change already. They keep promising, but then always find some reason why not now.
