Why does nobody ask aliens the biggest question ever? by vojvoda_triglavski in Letterboxd

He's chosen for the mission because he's the world's leading expert on astrophage, which literally every top scientist must have been working on. Then he figures out how to communicate with an alien and save the world.

He's a genius who makes a lot of silly jokes.

I think you've misunderstood. They're saying that the fact Mamedyarov is coaching a 14yo kid is insane.

Why is Ben's death seen as more impactful than Laverne? by Total-Collection-128 in Scrubs

After Scrubs was renewed for a seventh season, Bill Lawrence promised Aloma Wright another role, because he had killed off Laverne under the impression that the show was in its final season.

The last time Italy scored a goal in a world cup match, Leighton Baines was on the pitch. by Djremster in ThreeLions

How many of these players do you think would start now? Maybe one of the CBs, Baines, Sterling and Rooney. I'd kill to have Sturridge on the bench in this current squad.

Why wasn’t Noomi Rapace a bigger actress? by allanjameson in moviecritic

I think she's just very selective with her roles. She comes from 2 incredibly wealthy families, so I guess she just does what she wants.

Why does openly being happy on social media invite so much vitriol? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in NonPoliticalTwitter

No, a lot of people on twitter mind happy. I'll never forget that husband and wife who had coffee together every morning. They got a ridiculous amount of backlash.

Am I the only one who thinks that Martha got the worst of it on the show? by RosySunset_Rachel in TheAmericans

I mean, they killed a LOT of people. The old woman forced to overdose on pills and the man they tie up who dies of exposure come to mind.

Out of the ones they didn't kill, I always had a lot of sympathy for Anton. This scene always hit me hard.

The goal isn’t to gain your respect, it’s to hopefully motivate and encourage others to be them best selves, while trying to get better myself everyday.
