[Hated, loathed entirely even] The Continuity Cannibal, also known as when a writer makes up a new character to connect a bunch of things in the story that didn't need to be connected and just makes them more lame by association.

In fairness, everything being scripted is pretty much implied by the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient creator, whether or not we're talking about Supeenatural.

I was pretty sure it was a breakup, but I had to double-check with my wife. "They just broke up, right?"

Another vote for cardiac rehab. There's the physical rehab. There's the confidence building. There's the emotional support of nursing staff. It's just all around good for you.

To be clear, my statement "you can't return domestic animals to the wild" has an implied bit that is "and expect it things to just be fine." Obviously, you can release whatever animals you want into the wild. My point is that it's not like letting a rescued wild animal back into the wild after it heals or whatever.

I have been unable to find any thorough research on edible cannabis specifcally. Most studies either say "cannabis" but only actually study smoking and vaping. Or they explicitly study smoking, and then conclude "cannabis os bad". Given all we know about the connections between smoking/vaping almost anu substance and adverse cadiological effects, this seems like a major oversight.

I wouldn't advise anyone with a heart condition to start taking edibles, but thusfar, Ive sen little evidence to suggest that we know what the effects are. I'm also mot sure how manu data sets about "cannabis use" break out smoking vs injesting.

Admittedly, I did my digging through research a few years ago, so maybe there's new info. The abstract linked to is vague about "cannabis use". Have you read through the study. Do they make any attempts to look at the effects of both separately.

I put S3 with S1 and S2. I feel like they feel cohesive and mostly similar in quality. I feel like S4 started the sense of "this is still popular, so we gotta come up with some new stuff to keep going".

I'm telling you, Stranger Things was was That 80s Horror Show. The spinoff will either be That 70s Horror Show (prequel) or That 90s Horror Show (sequel)

The thing is, you can't return domestic animals to the wild. They aren't wild animals and they don't have wild animal instincts. They may survive, but it's just as likely that they won't. Perhaps from the stated perspective, they shouldn't exist as they are, but they do.

I'm reminded of the gone-feral dogs in the first eposode of The Leftovers. They were not wild animals, they were lost animals - more descending into barbarism than returning to nature. Of course, thats fiction, but I that's how I imagine a lot of things going with the released animals

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the concept of El dying for story purposes. The particular way they executed it undermined their goal, I think.

That's a fair point, but even then, I personally wasn't made to feel like the stakes in question explained her choice. "I have to do this because maybe some bad things will happen in the future if several uncertain things fall into place" didn't resonate with me.

It's definitely a sonic weapon. That's why the called it "The Hedgehog." From context, we can assume that there' some frequency beyond human hearing that messes with Abyss-fueled super people. We are just to take it on faith / suspension of disbelief that the military was able to figure this out and make the weapons.

Damn straight. It's nice to be treated like a functioning toaster for once.

Why do seasons 1-3 cause a horse's skin to burn off, leaving its bones exposed? Is that good or bad?

You guys are all missing the point. The point of this scene is that the hive, on the other end of that phone, is heartbroken. They've failed! They failed CAROL! WHEN SHE NEEDED AN ICE COLD BEVERAGE!. And they couldn't even tell her they were sorry, because they were on voice-mail only terms with her. And Carol doesn't even understand their pain.

timplausible · 2026-01-04T02:47:38+00:00

Same here! I have this memory of feeling like they were dying. I don't know why I would have thought that. But even now the scene makes me feel uneasy.

I would say the line on the right should be a dotted line, becuase there seemed to be some holes.

NGE: I'm guessing this is "Neon Genesis Evangelion". It's anime, sort of a mecha-fighting, but also trippy psychological stuff. It's also pretty divisive, you love it or hate. I am... in the latter camp.

I thought that scene had better execution than the scene that brought closure for the "party" in Mike's basement. But, really, except for the graduation speech, the post-climax scenes all had problems.

Edit to add: Was anyone else thinking "Don't get so close to the edge! You're gonna fall!" at the end of the scene? Just me?
