Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I want to love it and likely will.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Chloé Zhao’s movie, Hamnet, currently in the film festival circuit, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it is Most Emphatically Not a Light Comedy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Also, I am reminded that I wouldn't have thought the American Pie guys would have been a good choice to bring us Murderbot and they are knocking it out of the park, so who even knows?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

As long as it doesn't engage in character assassination of the original gang I'll be at least ambivalent towards it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I finally convinced Aeryn it was time for them to watch the original series with the argument "I want to rewatch it again before the new one comes out," so even if it turns out horribly disappointing it's done one good thing!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Based on Eternals I don't have high hopes of Zhao knowing how to catch lightning in a bottle for romantic chemistry, which was one of the strengths of the original show. Of course, I'm not nearly as focused on that aspect as I was 25+ years ago, so its lack may not detract too much for me personally.

We are midway through The Pack, and Aeryn just said "If anything happens to the pig, I'm leaving."

Should I warn them or...?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

How do they feel about Principal Flutie? Better or worse than the pig?

Less emotional for sure!
