Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm in Puerto Rico shooting an MOW.
And, see, I read MOW as "Monster Of the Week", and pondering what it was going to be shot with, laser Ray O'Death, or phaser, or zat, or what. Also, briefly wondering how it became Colin's responsibility to take out errant monsters. I mean, aren't there special monster handlers? But then the other possible reading popped into my head, and suddenly his trip to Puerto Rico got a whole lot more boring.

Now that Stark isn't large and in charge, he is a jerk like older brothers and that special brand of jerk that a jock who is also smart and a senior in high school can be a jerk to a freshman. Much petty jerkishness.
exactly. He's just not a good person. And I think that the reason that I don't like him is that he looks down on Carter for his lack of scientific education, when it is often Carter's skills that generate solutions. Yes, it takes the technical expertise to figure out how to do it when Carter says "what if we freeze it", but you wouldn't have gotten there without him.

the other possible reading
It's "movie of the week," right? I'm apparently very slow today, mostly cause I don't understand why it deserves an "an".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't understand why it deserves an "an".
If you treat it as an initialism, then it's "an emm oh doubleyou." As an acronym, it's "a mow."
All in how you look.
I just think Stark's condescension is hot, she says, possibly revealing...okay, nothing new.

Ahh! Clearly, I was reading it as an acronym.
I would also agree that Stark's condescension is hot. As is, you know, Stark.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Whew. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I read "an movie of the week" and didn't understand the grammar rule. Honestly, I first read "monster of the week" also. Megasnake?
On topic: My votes-
Colin has BBoC factor? Y
Stark is exponentially hotter and funnier this year? Y

Nothing new, but definitely right. Or, I should say, and definitely right.
I (almost) always read acronyms as their initials, so it's an an for me there, too. Like, lolcats is "el oh el cats" to me.
Yay! Go Eureka! Choose Eureka!
