I really don't get tumblr sometimes

James Gunn: I don't like the way a lot of fanboys objectify women. I'm going to write a satire of 'hottest women in comics' lists, with lots of ridiculous things like talking about Storm giving people enemas so people will see how silly the entire concept is!

Tumblr: OMG BAD SATIRE! I'M GOING TO SIGN A PETITION TO MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB SO YOU CAN'T FEED YOUR FAMILY, THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO SUPPORT US!

Psy: I don't like the way the American military acts. I'm going to rap about how we should kill Americans, with lyrics literally saying I hope they die slowly and painfully.

Tumblr: ...HE DIDN'T SAY "YANKEES," HE SAID "BITCHES," THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

That doesn't even sound like a real opinion, it sounds like one of those weird quirks a sitcom character has for an episode so the writers can make jokes about it. "Chandler, what do you mean you make your lobster do a little dance before you eat it? Joey, what do you mean you think James Gunn is the Antichrist but Psy isn't South Korea's answer to Ted Nugent?"

And the thing that gets me is, the stuff that Psy is rapping about is an incident where some US soldiers got into an accident and two Korean girls were killed--okay--and another time when Iraqi insurgents killed a Korean missionary because South Korea was sending troops to Iraq. Which he blamed on America. So, basically, we're Spider-Man in all this and he's a poorly-written version of J. Jonah Jameson.

Fringe - Sergio Leone Style

The Good - Peter's storyline, where he gets into an expensive-looking brawl with Mega-Observer Windmark and the bastard shows him his daughter's last thoughts before she was killed. For all the Observers lack as villains, they're pretty great as douchebags. That was a legit "oh no you dinnit" moment.

Also, the latter part of Olivia's story, where she MacGyvers her way into killing a bounty hunter with the bullet keepsake that Etta gave her. THE DUNHAM FAMILY IS SO BADASS THAT OLIVIA WILL USE A GIFT FROM HER DAUGHTER TO MURDER YOU.

The Bad - The first part of Olivia's story--yikes. Olivia meets up with a literal Magic Negro who hands her the latest plot coupon and diagnoses that Olivia's problem is a lack of faith and not, say, seemingly being given the run-around by a woman she's known for five minutes and has no reason to trust. Olivia, for her part, says effectively "Look, time travel, alternate dimensions, porcupine monsters--totally real. But religion? C'mon, be serious." This, of course, being the woman who un-erased her lover from time because she really wanted to kiss him.

Look, I know sci-fi usually has the opposite problem, of depicting every religious person as an ignorant savage or a bunch of fundamentalist marauders, but Fringe reducing everything to "religion good, being too smart am evil" is equally bad. Especially since religion ended having smack-all to do with the story. Olivia's problem was dealing with Etta's death, not a crisis of faith.

The Ugly - Olivia gets the perfect opportunity for a kiss-off line when she has a gun on a young Christian Bale. She's already killed his associate, so when he asks "Where's Briggs?" and goes for his gun, she's well within her rights to shoot him and say "Where you're going" or "Go look for him" or "In line for Hell, right in front of you." Instead, she just shoots him. Look, Olivia, you're on Fox and you need the occasional kiss-off line. C'mon, make Jack Bauer proud.

After this week's episode of Nikita...

I really want an AU where Amanda takes her stalker crush on Nikita to the next level and takes the amnesty deal after Percy's death just to screw with Nikita. Since it's me, perhaps she's only agreed to help Nikita in exchange for certain... favors.
