Is Supernatural being discussed in Boxed Set?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Even if it's not now, it fits within the charter -- it might be easier to drum up conversation.

God bless MIT. CKR has always looked weathered!
Maybe that needed a paragraph break.

Did you see Supernatural, Emily? He looked way more weathered than this.

Kat, it was the hugging line.

I haven't seen it. I was going to counter with an image of him in "Touching Evil" (which I only saw that episode of, and therefore hadn't, until now, made the connection with the British series), but since your point is more weathered recently than earlier... you're right.
I'm still saying, always weathered a bit. But yeah, more so now.

Ah. That makes sense, Sue.
It wigs me out that I so understand Christina, that I'd say fully 50% of what her lines are.

I'll take CKR, weathered or no. It's just the character showing through, really.

Silence means security silence means approval
In fact, there are seven knee ligaments, if I am counting correctly. They are the patellar, oblique popliteal, arcuate popliteal, tibial collateral, fibular collateral, and anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. The MCL you're referring to is, I am guessing, the meniscus? Or medial condyle.
I've heard it called the medial collateral ligament.
Still, yes, I would say if you're up to three torn items in one knee, then just say that the knee is frelled.
And he's out for the season.
OTOH, it drives me nuts when sportswriters don't differentiate between the rotator cuff and the labrum. One is basically fatal to pitching careers, while the other is not.
We know the difference around here in Seattle, since every pitcher has either a labrum or rotator problem.
A vast majority of pitchers with rotator problems eventually recover. Something like only 15% of labrum tears ever fully heal.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And of course, a rotator cuff problem shows up on an MRI, whereas a labrum problem really doesn't. You have to open the shoulder up to get a good look, and if you're in there, good effing luck fixing that thing.
One of the reasons Pedro Martinez is no longer with the Red Sox is that his shoulder trouble is pretty much assumed to be labrum, not rotator cuff. He went through the strengthening therapy that rotator cuff people do (that has not worked at all for Wade Miller, whose journey under the knife is imminent), but even "healthy", his outcome-profile was classic labrum trouble: difficulty warming up, bad first innings before settling in, need for extra rest. His velocity has declined seriously in the past three years.
Red Sox management basically forecasted that he wouldn't be pitching at the end of a four-year contract, and refused to offer him one. The Mets, OTOH, don't need him pitching four years from now (not really); they need him pitching this year, while the cable channel negotiations are being finalized.
I've heard it called the medial collateral ligament.
Maybe so. I know the difference between a meniscus (basically, a washer) and a ligament (a screw), but I don't know what a condyle is at all, and I've put away the anatomy book.
