Possibly the funniest thing Mark has written so far...

I REALLY LIKE WESLEY A LOT, EVEN WHEN HE’S FIRM WITH BUFFY LATER. LIKE, THE GUY IS JUST DOING HIS JOB, AND I DON’T BLAME HIM FOR DOING SO. UGH, COULD HE NOT DIE? I WANT TO EXPLORE HIS CHARACTER SO MUCH MORE. PLEASE GIVE ME ONE GOOD THING, JOSS WHEDON.

I'm going to quote this back at him at some point during S3 of AtS... probably just after Angel has tried to smother him. *perky smile*

(That is, presuming he manages to tone stuff down a little - I'm not sure how much more I can take. I don't mind the hyperbole or the flailing, but the capslocks are just exhausting to read...)

Interesting point. Link?

At times, though, it feels (though I may be wrong) like it doesn't take context into consideration.

Here! :D

That's what it's sounding like to me. Though I only ever stick around when Mark's reviewing Doctor Who.

It is, isn't it? Like they're saying "Ooh, can't use that, someone might actually think you're talking about them" (when they're probably not).

Then again, you're talking to someone who was honestly surprised when someone told someone else not to use the word "dumb".

Yeah. Or a person is just talking about an object, or situation, and not a person.

If I can remember far back enough- I can actually remember my mom telling me to not use words like 'stupid' or 'dumb', but I'm thinking that was because other people would call me 'stupid' and 'dumb' when I was younger (and that was when I was going through a lot of therapy for neurological issues). So I understand not calling other people those words.

Aha, now it makes a bit more sense - I'd thought they meant "dumb" as in "mute" at the time. Oops.

Huh. I've never heard of 'dumb' being connected with 'mute'. Unless it meant that whenever I've heard the phrase "deaf, dumb, and stupid." Which, the latter, I know would be used whenever someone felt like knocking down another person.

Really? How odd. It's fairly common... I'm guessing 'deaf, dumb, and stupid' (which I've never come across!) is a derivative of 'deaf, dumb and blind'.

Anyway, it's neat to learn new things. :)

I really like your icon! Did you make it and is it snaggable?

[identity profile] slackerspice.livejournal.com 2012-03-01 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Not mine, actually. I've credited korinacaffeine, but I might be wrong.

That said - snag away.
