Oh! I definitely vote for a story that meditates on the nature of love and its power to affect change!

I mean, I'm sure there are examples out there, but nothing can be as satisfactory irl as pointing to a fictional character like Cain and saying, "yes, I see, his behavior before nailing the Civil War lady was bad, but after it was good." I'm sure I'm just a pessimist, but I feel like any example irl I've witnessed of someone stopping a dispreferred behavior because a loved one requested it has ended up in resentment and relapse.

For sure, people change in relationships, and the lucky ones change to fit their partner at the same rate, but like, if we took the analogy of murdering demons and applied it to real life, what would that be? Let's say...going to Las Vegas and getting lap dances. If my partner asked me to give up lap dances because love, I'd probably say ok for a while. But then you know she'd get tired of giving me lap dances at home, and I'd get restless and the next thing you know: showgirls here I come.

But that's just romantic love. I hear what you're saying about unconditional, family love. That's an entirely different ball of wax.

Oh, that Kevin Bacon show! When it first aired, I was excited, but when I could start predicting lines--word for word--I felt like I had to give it a pass. Of the two shows that started last season and dealt with charismatic cult leaders, why did that one survive?
