Last night's episode of Human Target is the worst example of a story set on a plane I have ever seen. Yes, Tail Sting, worse than you.

It came on after Idol. I was browsing the Internet on my phone and so did not turn off the TV immediately, as is my usual practice. Then I couldn't bring myself to turn it off, because unfolding before my very eyes was the single worst example of television storytelling I have witnessed the past five years.

Cut to avoid the possibility of spoilers. )
[personal profile] zvi writes a bit about the show's gender issues in this post.

I just... no. Words fail me in my attempt to describe just how awful this show was.

Maybe I just don't watch much TV. But if it's all this bad, I can't really bring myself to feel that I'm missing anything.

One Sister’s ‘Mmm’ Is Another’s ‘Um, No Thanks’ (Alex Witchel)

I get so sick of people writing about vegetarian or vegan things and then not actually writing about them. How much of this article is about the cookbook, and how much of it is about the author's food hang-ups?

News flash, guys: people who don't eat animals are people too. You don't have to point out that you're "not like us" again and again. And again.

(I do realize that this is a two-way street. Vegan-ish folk can be asshats, too.)
