First episode in a long time where I didn't totally hate Jimmy/Steve. I don't know what happened.

I'm usually a "read the book first" type, but when I first saw Game of Thrones, I didn't even know it was a book. But I fell so in love with the show in its own right that I wanted to see how the show would play out without any preconceptions based on the knowledge of the books.

I read The Hunger Games before seeing the movie (as in, like, finished it a day before I saw it in theaters) and thought the movie was a huge improvement on the book.

When I first saw Meelo, I thought "he looks like Tommy Pickles on meth."

I also really like how they set up Korra's avatar abilities to be to
some degree foreign against the structure of Pro-Bending, so that all
though her Waterbending skills may be great, she has a lot to learn
before she's ready to win anything. But I beleive, Korra can win the
tournament.

The Avatar shipping wars have officially begun.

My favorite line in the whole series will forever be:

Personally, I never shipped in The Last Airbender. I just let everything take its course. I didn't get too invested. Well, except for Sokka/Suki, maybe.

"Not TOGETHER together, more like friends."
"Right, friends. No, I didn't mean to imply-"
"Oh, you implied it."

I had to pull her away from Victorious to get her to watch it with me.

When I was a kid, my day camp counselors said I reminded them of Ducky, and I assumed they meant from The Land Before Time.

Me: AH MI GAWD THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER I AM SO EXCITE!

As a closeted gay guy, it feels to me like D-rock's evolving away from being
a funny plot device as per his first appearance, to a funny character
in his own right.

Rossum consistently manages to make us forget all our grievances with the show by acting the hell out of everything she does.

"Also, I'd like the plate to be sizzling, but I'd like to request that you not tell me to 'be careful; the plate is hot.' I know it's hot, it's a sizzling plate."

Does this make Schmidt a MILF?

@Lucrece Ian's sexuality isn't SUCH a predominant part of his life that he's willing to take the risk of being shot. Which, in his community, is a very real possibility. He has a family that (for the most part) cares about him, he has outlets for expressing his sexuality where it won't get him stabbed, but he's not

I always found UK Fiona deeply irritating. She didn't really pull off "struggling young adult raising her family" as well as Rossum does.

Part of my problem with Steve is that Guko doesn't really play into Steve's charm as well as McAvoy did, and he just ends up coming off as a massive douchebag.

I didn't really care for Levy as Mandy. I prefer the new girl.
