Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

and Sierra not getting raped on screen for a change

This made me chuckle ruefully while shaking my head.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm sad I can't say nobody got raped this week.

Always Anti-fascist!

[link] I thought this was an interesting theory.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I agree, erika. I'm wondering, apart from the "sound in space" thing, what other "clues" the writer is seeing? Is that a reference to Melly's speaking style?

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't know...DK comment threads are long and daunting so I haven't read all of it.And have I mentioned today how much I hate liberals who think they are pious because they haven't followed a TV show in ten years? Because I do. Ass them in their free-range, dolphin-safe, community activist ears. Because if you don't read a book for ten years, you're ignorant. If you don't see a movie for ten years, it probably says something a bit sad about your social life. But television as a medium gets all the blame for every bit of crap that is now, or has ever been, on it. And I don't think it's right, especially given the evolution that came with cable and whatnot.(And mostly? I think it's incredibly self-righteous to counter "Have you seen "The Wire"? with a comment like "No, I actually have a REAL life where I talk to my wife and children, thanks.")

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

That is an interesting theory. It makes sense. But it does rather make me want to slap someone.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I thought this was an interesting theory.

If I follow it to the conclusion my feeble brain came to, then it seems that Show wants that I should stop watching it and go do something better with my time.

I think so. She said something this episode, I forget what it was, some kind of play on words I think. Anyway it reminded me of Tara.

So it could be considered a resounding success?

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

Adorabubble? Because I would have dumped her right there, myself. Obsession with the Dollhouse aside.
