It's always reassuring to have someone say you weren't talking total utter crap... ;)

So, I had this thought this morning, while I was lying awake, brain swimming in pain relief meds. I'll try to make it make sense, but if it's a little disjointed... :p I was thinking back over the last four seasons and looking for more references when something came to mind from one episode...

TBH, it's not just one thing. Every country has a combination of religious, social, political and economic factors that shape the value system. The pervasive influence of religion in American society can largely be blamed on capitalism. Society's poorest and most disenchanted are always the...

The fact that Danny tolerated her standing him up for their date, then stood back like she asked and then supported her through the trial just exacerbates my view of how selfish her behaviour is. Exactly. I was just indifferent to her as a character then. Now I just can't wait to see the...

I think there might be a hint of suspicion in her mind that Danny is finding his comfort somewhere else and that this is why he's not confiding in her but I don't think she knows for certain, or even necessarily suspects it's Rikki. Is it bad of me to say that I hope he does tell her? That...

I want to feel some sympathy for her, being shut out of the life of the person she thinks she's in love with. But her behaviour just precludes that. She started off after Ruben died with selfish commentary - "I'm not really good at this sort of thing." If she'd have asked Mac how to help him...

The BSG thing was my fault... :p

Just when I'd almost forgotten about that Loveline thing... :scream:

I'd not only like to see some ethnic diversity on the TV - disability diversity wouldn't be bad thing either. And what is shameful about this in CSI:NY's case is, they've actually gone backward from S1... And some things that I'd like to cram into the brains of the writing team: Sick and...

Different strokes for different folks. I just can't get into it because it takes itself way too seriously for my liking and it makes it come off as pretentious. The weird thing is, I've met Aaron Douglas a few times and he's such a cool guy - I just really cannot get into the show he's in...

I think honestly that it is more down to the United States being a 'young' and 'developing' country than it is the actual implication of religion. Bearing in mind, there are many countries in Western Europe that are equally as 'religious' as the U.S. yet the same level of ignorance towards the...

To be honest, I don't think TV is very good at dealing with stuff that lives outside of the box - inside the box being healthy, white and heterosexual. I'm hardly surprised when it comes to CSI:NY, where Manhattan constitutes New York in its entirety. (Funnily enough, in French the show is...

Oh no you didn't just call Kristine 'an asshole'... :eek: By the way, I'm not a member of anyone's clique. I just don't happen to agree with trolling, which was what the OP was doing. And I also happen to thing that the whole thing about the reviews is being blown out of proportion - if...

Ugh, Battlestar Galactica - the most pretentious sci-fi show ever. Explains a few things... :rolleyes:

I don't think they do - I think it's supposed to be her personal cellphone. I think they are overrated in any case... It is a cute picture though... :D

Ooops, my bad there. Sorry about that. I was just dealing with someone on another board somewhere else who was being deliberately obtuse...that'll teach me to read more carefully...

Note in bold and underlined... ;)

Keeping your expectations low is the easiest way to avoid disappointment in life. Not expecting anything more than the bare minimum of decency from people means you don't get stung so often. Unless you happen upon real pond scum...

I should be thankful in a way that J. Ignoramus seemed to know the difference between 'deaf' and 'Deaf'. But yeah, I wish I could say shitty behaviour like this was uncommon - it's not. I really despise the fact that 'hearing' people think 'Deaf' people cannot appreciate or even make music...

I said being portrayed as a manipulative bitch set women back - mainly as it alludes to a stereotype of independent women only being able to get what they want in life that way. Women do not have to be bitches to be successful in anything. And I'd think this would be counter-productive in a...
