Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Opposite of obvious - counterintuitive?

I would argue that "counterintuitive" says more than just "not obvious" - it implies that it's easy to get mislead/get the wrong info/etc. Wheras "not obvious" just means the info (or whatever) is difficult to get.

Yeah, I kind of thought about that. But I think the difficulty is really that obvious can have a pretty wide range of meaning, so I'm not sure any one opposite is going to suffice.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Coleslaw is even grosser than sauerkraut.

"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

The fascinating thing with it is you can totally map the majority of the smuggling crew to the characters in FIREFLY (not to mention that the whole science station had a big whiff of Alliance to it).

Lost writer Xavier Grillo-Marxuach wrote a hilarious review of Serenity based on that very comparison here: [link]
