ACCORDING TO JIM | S2 E16 | Slumber Party: "There are children here. Watch your mouth!"

According To Jim (2001-09)

[spiltsoup]

Realized that after Ally McBeal all the actresses tended to get typecast just a bit:

Calista Flockhart - Business-ish woman who is aloof on the surface but secretly has a heart

Courtney Thorne-Smith - MILF surrounded by idiot men

Jane Krakowski - Unhinged white lady

Portia De Rossi - Mean, competent boss lady in a killer suit

Lucy Liu - Normal woman wrapped up in some insane situation

And it won’t let me add any more images but Lisa Nicole Carson came back to the Kellyverse as Renée Raddick 2

According to Jim intro

Cheryl and Dana (According to Jim)

In the episode The Jealous Husband, Cheryl vents to her sister Dana that their mother is still unhappy with her for not getting her son circumcised at birth even after five years, and has been trying to convince her that it's not too late to get it done (an idea Cheryl rejects with "that was dad's generation").

Going by her reaction, it can be assumed that when Dana's own son is born a few seasons later, she sides with Cheryl instead of their mother.

Would She Snip?: No, no

Props for the Other Belushi

June 15 is the birthday of some mighty big stars in my personal pantheon: silent comedian Harry Langdon, who has a whole section on Travalanche; 19th century stage star Adah Isaacs Mencken, who I spent many years researching and writing a play about (it premiered at La Mama ten years ago); and Harry Nilsson, one of my favorite pop performers in the world, among others. I’ll likely return to all…

"Can't we do something?" "I'm afraid not." STAR TREK 03.12 The Empath

[dykedvonte]

I think it says something that Jimmy absolutely destroyed the crew and ship in half the time Curly was captain. Like he couldn’t even get them past 2 full months before breaking down.

Like he really couldn’t be half the man he thought Curly was.

Ok, some thing I’ve noticed.

This is how Vulcans (and Romulians as well) kiss/prelude with their fingers/hands 100% canonically, with no doubts:

Here’s the promo picture of Amok Time with Spock & T’Pring, demonstrating, that they… Well, a couple. So, I’d say it’s a kiss. Canonically.

And here’s “I shall always be your friend” scene.

Well. Draw your own conclusions here.

Thinking about the weird camaraderie that exists between demons but not angels in GO.

Have we ever seen two angels who are actually friends? Or even friendly to one another? We have met angels with a capacity to be friendly in general, but I think the closest we've come to two angels actually getting along would be Gabriel making a point to laugh at Sandalphon's terrible "can't have a war without War" line in S1.

Most scenes between the angels actually seem to have an undercurrent of absolute hostility. Teeth-clenched teamwork. No wonder it took them so long to notice that Aziraphale wasn't on the same page as the rest of them! The rest of them are barely on the same page as one another, either! When Gabriel goes against the majority vote, no one bats an eye at demoting him and wiping his memory. Michael and Uriel immediately begin vying for his job. The only times we've seen angels team up is when they're working together to bully someone else, like when they're trying to intimidate Aziraphale in S1 or going to the aftermath of the bookshop raid in S2.

Saraqael's overall neutrality towards Muriel is the closest we get to two angels in Heaven getting along, and it's more a lack of hostility than any kind of friendliness. At least until Gabriel loses his memories and Muriel shows up to spy on Aziraphale, and Aziraphale decides to be kind to both of them.

Demons, on the other hand, actually seem to form alliances and even friendships among one another. Hastur and Ligur are awful, but Hastur seems genuinely distraught over Ligur's death, not just fearful of suffering the same fate. Shax and Furfur conspire together and even though the 1940's investigation into Crowley's fraternizing doesn't work out for Furfur, it's not due to any double-crossing on Shax's part. Unlike the angels, who stick almost exclusively to making threats until the Metatron decides to try dangling a carrot at the end of the season, demons actually offer rewards to other demons when trying to work together. Beelzebub offers Crowley a promotion if he can bring them Gabriel, Furfur offers to back Shax up politically if she goes for the Duke position opening, and Crowley successfully stalls Hastur in S1 by pretending everything was a test and he's going to be put in charge of a legion as a reward for passing. They're still not great at socializing, but they're significantly ahead of the angels.

Of course, it's a fact that demons are awful to one another (Eric's treatment is really bad, they throw that random demon into holy water just to test it, "it'd be a funny world if demons went around trusting one another", etc) but they still seem more capable of forming friendships than the angels do.

I think that's because Hell cramps and crowds everyone together to try and increase their suffering and hostility, whereas Heaven isolates angels to decrease the odds of questioning or rebellion. Hell's methods are unpleasant, but it still ends up putting demons together, and some of those demons inevitably forge alliances and make friendships. Because as Crowley and Beelzebub demonstrate, demons are still social creatures with the capacity for love and affection, even if it's strongly discouraged and buried under nine million layers of trauma and a cultural mandate against kindness.

Angels are the same, but isolation makes is harder to form connections than overcrowding. Muriel and Jimbriel are both so eager to make friends, but Muriel's spent the past millennia shut in an empty office, and Gabriel has been distanced from his peers both through his position and also through Heaven's culture of fear and surveillance. He only breaks away from it when he finds something that's stronger than "choosing sides" (stronger than the fear of being rejected by Heaven and Falling, in fact strong enough that Falling seems worth it if he gets to be with someone he loves). Both Muriel and Gabriel are only able to start forming connections when they're away from Heaven.

I just think it's interesting that demons, despite being supposedly devoid of love, have an advantage in forming relationships compared to angels. Angels are supposed to love, but have far fewer opportunities to actually do so. Demons aren't supposed to love, but they make connections anyway.
