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.
You don't need that, when winter comes the gorillas will just freeze to death.
Of course, that's what everyone says, but do we really want to base the fate of the world on that assumption?
