Let us know if the scarab starts talking to you, Steph.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(Seriously, nobody has to like the show or the character, but can we at least stop threatening to punch/smack her in the face? Is she really so annoying that we need to physically assault her? Why do some many people on the internet want this?)
I didn't have a problem with Jess, but the dudebro roommates got on my nerves, even when Deputy Leo learned A Very Special Lesson and chose to leave the vaguely racist cowboys-and-indians themed event where he was planning to motorboat a hot chick dressed as the Land-O-Lakes girl, and instead went to cheer up Jess with the other dudebros.
But Jess lying on the floor saying "I fell off my heels" made me laugh for about 30 seconds.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I thought everyone loved the show but me.
I kept telling Kristen that it wasn't the sitcom's fault, it was obviously me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For Batman #1 day it's my Batsignal leather cuff and my Batbeltbuckle.
And my Bat bandaid.

Because books.
I liked the show a lot, Allyson. I think Zooey Deschanel gives her charm and sweetness. And a LotR ref is always going to score points with me.
I did miss a little of the end because Sara was explaining her math test, in depth, to me, but I'm planning to watch it again.

If Kristen or ita had done that on my couch when they moved in, they would have been living with one of you other people within 24 hours.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought everyone loved the show but me.
I have yet to read a positive review that doesn't include some level of "but thank god Jess is fictional because anyone who acted like that in real life would be too annoying to put up with even for a second." So far the most positive comments I've seen have been along the lines of "charming on TV but completely unbelievable because come on, nobody's THAT dorky in real life and if they were I would hate them."
So it's been really lovely to have the entire internet confirming all my worst fears about myself all day. Really, just splendid.
[eta: Ok, clearly I don't need to hijack the thread over this. Stepping away now.]

Huh. My whole twitter feed is in love with it.
Why do some many people on the internet want this?
Do you want me to explain why I started lighting things on fire, or let it lie? I mean, I don't want to be an additional dickhead in your sphere, seriously.

Jess, I was having a very similar response to people's reactions to Amy Farrah Fowler on Big Bang Theory. But at least she's a more minor character, so every review isn't about her.
