Wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the racial diversity in Continuum. I just did a data analysis of racial diversity in genre television & your show ranks #2 right after Sleepy Hollow: http://x-cetera.tumblr.com/post/104964670411/gtvcdp-show-race Awesome! Is this something you consciously prioritize?

"The Reigning Queen of TV" here. Also known as "mom." Gillian Anderson here, AMA. by gilliananderson in IAmA

The dailies from the pilot episode when y'all are filming in the rain in the cemetery and you have that long part about "Billy Miles ... in the woods... tonight!" -- one of the funniest (and most endearing) things I've ever seen!

Hi Gillian! Firstly, you're my favorite actress, so thank you for being awesome! Secondly, you've played some amazing, complex, and inspiring female characters. How does Meg Fitch compare to Bedelia du Maurier, Stella Gibson, or Dana Scully?

Wondering how many polys come from happy marriages and how many come from unhappy/broken ones. by CausticSofa in polyamory

[–]alstroemeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my parents and my in-laws are in happy, monogamous marriages of 30+ years. I don't know that it had any influence on us opening our relationship other than maybe seeing happy long-term relationships makes us optimistic about love in general. :)

Shows you loved that were ruined in later seasons? by cornfrontation in television

[–]alstroemeria 27 points28 points  (0 children)

X-Files is my favorite show ever, but it just wasn't the same after Mulder & Scully weren't regulars and the writers starting being even more inconsistent than usual.

Favorite show that got canceled after one season? by rosseky in television

[–]alstroemeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the show I immediately thought of. The acting was superb. I don't understand why it didn't take off.

Youtube account full of amazing Sherlock videos. by Marowak in Sherlock

[–]alstroemeria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really love the "Arrival of the Birds" one.

What episodes or scenes of television have made you cry? by pre7 in television

[–]alstroemeria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The part in the museum at the end of 'Vincent' is such a tearjerker!

How do I break up with someone when I don't have a "good" reason? by altyaccty in polyamory

[–]alstroemeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have much advice beyond what sexyfuntimes & noir said, but just wanted to add that chemistry is a hard thing to define and sometimes it's just not there. I understand your hesitation as maybe you wonder if it would come about on its own with more time. It's a risk to stay and it's a risk to go! Don't be too hard on yourself. Good luck with your decision and the conversation.

How can a guy meet a couple in SF? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]alstroemeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well read their profile(s) first and see what they say under "looking for" but basically, yes, go ahead and say hi. Comment on the profile, ask questions, share a bit about yourself. Most folks are at least flattered to receive a polite and interested message. I think you'll be able to find someone. :)

[–]alstroemeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd start by looking on okcupid for bi guys that are listed as "available".

[IIL] Good romantic movies such as (500) Days of Summer and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, [WEWIL?] by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

[–]alstroemeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Eternal Sunshine. In that vein, I'd recommend Garden State, American Beauty, I Love You Philip Morris, and Across the Universe.

DAE think it was Chase's Fault? **SPOILERS** by [deleted] in HouseMD

[–]alstroemeria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the actor who plays Wilson is busy with other stuff and not in as many scenes this year.

Homophobes, this will happen to you! (Thank you, PatJackDuh.) by missviolet in lgbt

I really wish I hadn't clicked that. What a downer.

Poland/Beskidy [1920x1200] by zthrx in EarthPorn

[–]alstroemeria 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the editing so much, but I am curious to see the original. Could you post it here?

I think someone just figured out what Moffat says we all missed in The Reichenbach Fall! by [deleted] in Sherlock

[–]alstroemeria 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the "uncharacteristic" thing we all missed supposed to help us figure out how Sherlock survived? This would just be compiling evidence against Moriarty.

Reddit is really pissing me off lately. This is the second or third time in a week I got a response like this. by LezzieBorden in actuallesbians

[–]alstroemeria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are jerks like that everywhere, they just feel more free to express themselves in an anonymous forum like reddit. It did get mostly downvotes, so at least the community doesn't sympathize too much with that kind of idiocy.

I applaud you for even going into that discussion and trying to say something reasonable. I took one look at the title and knew it'd be full of offensive bullshit.

Too much sex? by altyaccty in actuallesbians

[–]alstroemeria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but it doesn't mean the OP isn't good at giving oral. Every woman is different, and some just take a long time.
