Attention American tv fans!corpsebride05March 13 2015, 23:11:43 UTC
I did not know this until recently but it's possible to get local tv channels without a satettile dish or cable tv subscription. Dish and cable are way too expensive. I went to target and got a tv antenna for $20 and now I can watch abc, nbc, cbs, cw, pbs, and many more non cable channels for free 24/7!
The antenna plugs into your tv and that's it! You don't have to climb on the roof of your house or anything. It's super easy to hook up. And it's legal!
Oh no! I've been seeing all your comments just fine...maybe it was an accident? I didn't even know there was a spam button on LJ. Could the mods unmark it?
Peggy Carter may not have any superpowers, but if you look at Captain America: The First Avenger, it’s as much of a heroic origin story for her as it is for Steve Rogers. In fact, in that regard it subverts one of the most overused tropes in the action movie genre: the fridged girlfriend. Instead of rescuing his love interest from a supervillain or having to avenge her death, Captain America’s motivation is tied up in the kidnap and eventual death of his friend Bucky. So while Peggy Carter is technically his love interest (or alternatively, Steve is hers), from a storytelling perspective she’s more like an authority figure than a traditional female romantic lead. And from the point of view of her life story, Steve Rogers himself is the “fridged girlfriend.” If you interpret the movie as Peggy’s origin story as a hero, Steve is the love interest who dies too young, inspiring for her to forge ahead with her life and become one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., thus changing the Marvel universe forever. -source

This is so true! When I saw Peggy run out of the shop front and attempt to gun down the Nazi/Hydra spy, my first thought was Wow, this lady is really amazing.Hayley Atwell took what had the potential to be a thankless, secondary role, and made it her own. She believes in Steve, both before and after the serum, while his admiration for her helps inspire him to go further. They were both remarkable people before they met each other. But their influence on one another is what leads them to fully "be all they can be". It's only a tragic shame their love never gets the same chance to grow

Like, I love both these ladies. I'm happy if either wins. But my heart belongs to Veronica Mars.
Bitches, exactly two years ago today we crossed the $2,000,000 goal in less than 12 hours on the Kickstarter that brought VMars back to life. Exactly one year ago today (or tomorrow, depending on which showings you went to), the movie premiered. That shit is gold. That shit gives me life regardless of who wins here today.
Veronica Mars is smarter than me, and I like it that way.

Argyle is great and all, but here's a counterpoint.

And the reason my family's had cable since the 80's is because we get BUPKIS with our antenna. :P
