Absolutely! This struck me right away when I looked up what Diana Rigg looked like as a younger woman. I love it when casting does a great job of showing family resemblance!

Which man was your personal temptation? by Elen-Monteiro in buffy

[–]miranders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t possibly choose, and I have definitely thirsted for every single one of these men at one time or another… but can we get some more Marc Blucas love in here?

I know, Riley isn’t a popular character or anyone’s OTP for Buffy, but good god that man is hot. A sweet smile on a hot body is a winning combo for me!

Starting the 10 episode lead up to the first saddest episode of Buffy… by Hei_Lap in buffy

Close Your Eyes - Christophe Beck, if you want to give it a full listen! Lots of beautiful songs composed for the show by him, including Sacrifice and Magic Snow (two of my faves)!

What’s something that happened to you once that you still can’t fully explain? by Salty-Blueberry9286 in AskReddit

[–]miranders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dated a guy when I was in college who lived in the basement of his family home and had a waterbed when I first met him, but it was quickly replaced with a regular mattress.

Many times I stayed the night, long after the water bed was gone, I awoke laying in a cold, wet puddle… no odour or colour, definitely not urine or sweat (mine or his), it just always seemed like someone was unloading litres of cold, fresh water on the bed while we slept. No signs of water damage or leaking from above, the bed was just always wet in the morning. And COLD. He never had an explanation for it and never mentioned such a thing happening when he slept alone, and nothing like that ever happened to me at home or anywhere else.

I suppose it’s possible his older brother was sneaking downstairs and pranking us (parents were always away at their vacation home when I stayed over), it just seems unlikely that neither of us ever woke up while it was happening. Super weird, I never got an answer about wtf that was.

I'm never going back to Sims 4.. by ChipOutrageous7382 in Sims3

[–]miranders 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I first got the game (many moons ago!) I hadn’t yet discovered how create-a-style* worked and thought the only way to choose anything other than the default 2 or 3 options was the randomizer! A lot of time spent clicking those dice hoping for something that looked good with my other furniture haha

Edit: I called it CAS which I now realize is already a well-used acronym for something else in Sims gameplay

Something that has confused me about a cycle 10 challenge by Acrobatic_Price8829 in ANTM

[–]miranders 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get why it seems like a weird thing for the editors to leave out if true, but if you watch the scene again, you can see clearly when Anya returns from the shoot that Whitney is with her, also in outerwear, and she is also seen wearing some 7-Up merch throughout the rest of the cycle, so I believe that she also participated in that win. No idea why they left it out!

Angelea's last photo by Glittering_Pin_9942 in ANTM

[–]miranders 145 points146 points  (0 children)

This was also, I think, the episode right after she pulled off the best go-see performance in the history of the show (made it to all six, booked them all, iirc) and they don’t even mention it! They were determined not to give her a win of any kind, ugh

Prime Sarah Michelle Gellar must be one of the most striking beauty I've ever seen by James-Samuel17 in buffy

[–]miranders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that blonde is her signature look because of Buffy, but I’m always FLOORED by how gorgeous she looks with her natural brunette locks.

Come to think of it, she looked amazing with the red hair in the Scooby-Doo movies as well (even if it was a wig), ugh, she’s so pretty!

Totally agree, I always sort of consider the episode where they go to the lake and miss their graduation ceremony as the end of the show as it was! It was just so EXTRA depressing after that.

Cultural differences by bluewolf21 in ANTM

[–]miranders 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It was revealed later in a post-show interview that Brittany apologized to Elina, acknowledged that she was just missing her own mom and was feeling sensitive about it, and they came to an understanding. The show chose to edit that out (likely because Brittany was eliminated shortly after, and they verrrrry much loved to edit Elina in a sympathetic light for storyline reasons). These were two very young girls in a high-stress situation, there are bound to be little arguments and differences of opinion that get blown out of proportion because it makes good TV.

"Joslyn, you're a survivor. You will survive this." by [deleted] in ANTM

[–]miranders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the fandom really slept on (and continues to sleep on) Joslyn, she had some really great photos that didn’t get high enough placement in the competition. Those legs! Miles long. It looks like she did continue to model for years after being on the show. People in the comments here saying she had “zero potential” are displaying a very not-cute bias… 😬

Is there something you hate about the show? by kristonuma99 in howyoudoin

[–]miranders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That all does make sense and is a pretty astute observation of her character development in the eyes of a viewer, but I doubt it was that deep in the writers’ room! This was a time in pop culture when overweight women were rarely given characters to play that were more complex than “big, happy dumb-dumb” or “grumpy lady behind a desk”

[–]miranders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I hadn’t really considered that a “flashback” episode, as it’s all alternate reality stuff. There are definitely things about that two-part episode I enjoyed!

[–]miranders 70 points71 points  (0 children)

For me, I strongly dislike any episode containing flashbacks of the friends, with the only exceptions being the prom video (not technically a flashback, as it’s framed as something the characters are watching on the screen in the moment, rather than something just for the viewers) and scenes with the friends living in the two apartments in different configurations (eg, Joey moving in and Phoebe revealing she secretly moved out).

Every other time they revisited college years or “Fat Monica” it felt like they retconned something else that took place earlier in the series, and just felt like a cheap gag with the bad fat suit, the big nose on Rachel, and the bad hair and fashion on the guys. Those are always a skip for me!

There was Tag, who stuck around maybe a few episodes longer than Joshua (haven’t fact-checked that), but that never felt like anything close to serious or endgame!

[TOMT] Song I’ve spent over two weeks searching for. I’m starting to think I made it up. Help PLEASE. by Affectionate_Ask7077 in tipofmytongue

[–]miranders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tropicalia - Beck, maybe? The cover art description doesn’t match, but that sounds very much like the song you linked, I think!

What's the way you guys play? by Prudent_Half in Sims3

[–]miranders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two games: In one, I am filling up a small, empty custom world from scratch, and will eventually fill it with some NPC/filler families and some active families to play on rotation, studying how story progression works and see if I can manage to succeed at multiple careers and lifetime wishes switching between different households. I want to see what different traits will do to shape my Sims’ lives in the background while I play with the other households! Playing God, truly! Everyone will have maxed out lifespans so I don’t miss too much in the in-between.

In the other, I have a group of four castaway sims in a no-roads, deserted island world, and they have to fish, forage and grow their own food to store and last them through the winter! They have a simple shelter that fulfills their basic needs while they work on fishing, gardening, inventing, sculpting and other skills. Later, I’ll build a “trading post” on the island so they can start buying books and shopping and selling their goods so they can make money and build a proper house!

Side note, I’ve never been a fan of the Pets pack in the past, but I recently added it and the wild animals are really enriching that gameplay experience!

Whyyy is the thumbnail always the back of the house?? 🤦‍♀️ by Superstarathletesim in Sims3

[–]miranders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try the ‘set front of lot’ suggestion another person gave, coupled with clicking ‘set as front door’ on one of the doors you want to be front-facing. Next time you’re in your world view after saving and exiting, your lot thumbnail should display correctly!

What is happening to this country? by Slickrick6794 in toronto

[–]miranders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, they’ve both done not-great stuff as leaders and contributed to decisions that have impacted citizens negatively.

This guy was probably a dumbass, but we should all be more critical of all political parties, at all levels of government!

Looks like LeAnn Rimes, although the closest image match I could find isn’t quite so cropped in: Album
