Awkward as batshit
Ha! I may have to start using this phrase.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Mark has watched and read some fairly dark shit. Including Hunger Games and The Wire and BSG.

Huh...he seems so shockable...I'd never believe it. I should read his thoughts about Snoop someday.

This. Forget not having read SF/F, has he never watched the news?

He's actually had a fairly difficult life - kicked out of his house as a teenager and disowned for being gay, homeless etc.

Wrod, but it sounds like maybe not? Could not find much "Wire" commentary on the site, except that Idris Elba's hot. Which he is. But that could be because Wirefiends are very much a secret handshake fandom instead of linking to sites to go "Dude...rookie in the house!" we like to think we're too cool.

I think many of you may be misreading Mark. When he says he doesn't "like" something, it doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy it from a storytelling perspective. It's two totally different things.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Being shockable is not the same as naive. My mom is 90, and has been a lefty involved in politics since she was 90. She has no illusions about the nature of war, or about the honesty of politicians. And she had a quite Dickensonian childhood. Yet she still gets shocked at cruelty and dishonesty, even when she is not surprised.

Yeah, he watched it before he started doing the commentary. It's one of his favorite shows and he considers it a masterpiece.
