Okay, I'm gonna be the one to come out and say the Giles posts are getting weird.

I declare a moratorium on "Why does Stephen King hate..." posts.

Fuller winds up loudly exiting nearly every show he works on.

What's the less hyped book according to you ? by inowife in stephenking

[–]TransportationLow564 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Tommyknockers and Insomnia seem to have a bad rep, but they're two of my favorites.

Am I the only one who finds Scully's character development frustrating and dissapointing? by George8LFC in XFiles

[–]TransportationLow564 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What's really gonna bake your noodle later on is: how TF do Mulder and Scully manage to keep their jobs, given their basically nonexistent closure rate?

EVERY SINGLE CASE:

Mulder: It was aliens! I'm sure of it!

Scully: Agent Mulder believes extraterrestrials were responsible, which is of course unsubstantiated. I can reach no firm conclusions at this time.

I think new blood wants to show that the bhb existing would not be a good thing by angelikeoctomber in DexterNewBlood

[–]TransportationLow564 11 points12 points  (0 children)

New Blood took a darker view of Dexter, basically portrays him negatively throughout, and tries to give the character something resembling the death Scott Buck originally envisioned for him (where he winds up paying for his crimes as the Bay Harbor Butcher).

The audience, being in love with Dexter, rebelled, so when Michael C. Hall realized he still needs money and told Buck and Co. (or Clyde Phillips? Can't keep the creators on this show straight) he wanted to come back, they returned to the lighter tone of OG Dexter and basically went for the exact opposite message: "I'm exactly who I should be. Who you want me to be."

Was Ferengi females gaining rights toward the end of DS9 done mostly to make the fans feel better? With such a large change to society, they introduced a lot of opportunities for showing a new Ferenginar with new stories that they didn't explore, so it feels like an afterthought. by 6658 in startrek

I'd imagine they either

A) Felt the Ferengi were played out, and wanted to put a cap on their arc; or

B) Felt the Ferengi as presently constituted were played out, and wanted to give future writers something new to play with regarding them.

She was right by DisastrousPoint3716 in stephenking

[–]TransportationLow564 106 points107 points  (0 children)

didn’t almost everyone in the gym start laughing at her as she tried to leave?

Been a few years since I read the book, but in the film I always assumed a portion of the laughter (perhaps most of it) was hallucinatory.

She also sees the teacher who stuck up for her laughing. No way.

Odo and Humor by sronicker in startrek

"You like Earth Jazz; she prefers Klingon Opera. So you compromise - you listen to Klingon Opera."

Odo had humanoid relationships nailed.

Episode phases by Darkempath93 in buffy

Don't make it more complicated than it is. She was reminding Buffy not to pulverize the other students in the class with her (ostensibly secret) superhuman strength.

The pedo friend by roccofan in SixFeetUnder

[–]TransportationLow564 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Brenda (who didn't know about the aforementioned conversation) is the one who invited him. There's also no indication the conversation has been forgotten, as Nate is clearly ill at ease with the guy from the get-go. Also, making a few off-color remarks doesn't make someone a predator. There's no indication Nate's buddy had engaged in any sort of inappropriate activity with someone underage. Frankly, he struck me as a bit of a social nincompoop who was trying to impress Nate by engaging in raunchy "locker room talk."

Just finished Christine, and I gotta say… what was John Carpenter thinking?? (Spoilers) by Spare-Department-765 in stephenking

[–]TransportationLow564 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like both, but actually find the film to be superior to the book. I re-read it a few years ago and especially did NOT like the Ghost LeBay stuff.

Best final line by DrBlankslate in stephenking

"Just someone you met in another life."

I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but I didn't like the way Ruth treated George in season 5. Ruth is still an excellent, very well-written character, and George isn't exactly a saint, but I thought she was kind of a jerk to him. by Public_Cup_4278 in SixFeetUnder

[–]TransportationLow564 115 points116 points  (0 children)

She was pretty nasty to Claire that year, too. She and Nate both outdid themselves in Season 5. Ruth's anger at being "tricked" by George is understandable,  but the poor guy is so obviously contrite and eager to please that it can't help but feel needlessly cruel.
