It goes on like that for a while.
I have a Criminal Minds question (spoilers through Episode 5x9):
when the Reaper killed Haley, did people see that as fridging Haley?
It hadn't occurred to me to see it that way, until someone on my friends' list commented on it, but I think that's mostly because
Haley was barely on the show, and never had much of a function other than Hodge's wife.
Which doesn't make it not a
fridging,
but somehow set it outside of that for me.
Hmm. Yeah, she wasn't
a character you were really invested in. (Though I don't know that she wasn't intended/expected to be.)
OK, this is crazy good fun.

It's a Salon article about Amazon reviews of classic books. PAR TAY
I just bought way too many Lady Gaga songs. But she's got an excellent beat for my walking mix, and since the pool is closed Sunday, I figured I'd do a 6 miler and needed to freshen up the mix so I really crank it. I plan to be painfully sore Monday (this is not a leisurely walk. This is just short of a run. For all the times I laughed at the racewalkers, I am sorry -except for the Olympic ones. Those look goofy-because I'm soaked in sweat by the first mile.)
Perkins, I didn't think of it until someone else mentioned it either, and no, I don't think of it that way. I see her as
collateral damage, and not all female collateral damage is merely fridging.
She was a
casualty of his job, but they haven't really even exploited the manpain
as much as they could have.
That's pretty much how I saw it too, Brenda and ita.
