Oh I thought the Sherlock/Mycroft interaction was some of the best writing of the show. The shaving scene and the board games scene—really great.

I loved Lestrade's reaction as well. I thought it was the best! I think I rewound to watch it eight times. (I also thought the first 40 minutes or so were well executed...the last 30 minutes or so borrowed a bit too heavily from V for Vendetta for my taste, but overall it was good fun.

As much as I hate these comments, I kind of like that they're actually saying them aloud instead of just working toward the associated policies. If the GOP insists on scaring away LGBT folks, people of color, women, and all the straight white dudes who support those people, they're going to eventually end up with a…

You are very much not. I fluctuate between: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, SIT THE FUCK DOWN" and "HAHAHHAHHA, Please Keep Talking."

Yay! More Ron Swanson—television's only real meat-eating man! ;)

I still cannot believe that Lupita didn't win. What world are we living in? And Chiwitel not winning left me speechless.

American Hustle got more attention than I thought it deserved; 12 Years a Slave didn't get enough (it's the best picture, but doesn't have the best directing, acting, or screenplay?).

Sorry, Kerry looks awful - she needs to borrow the pregnancy style of Jessica Alba:

I don't know if my TV could handle that much forehead without breaking.

A+, Fitzsimmons. Excellent statement.
