I kind of wished that the audience "knew" even one vampire from Kol's line.  I don't think it would have seemed so cheap if they'd at least taken a second to acknowledge the fact that other vampires were dying to service this plan.

Don't worry, guys, I've got this.

Sign me up, as well!  I never started in with this show last year, as it seemed like the broad stereotypes would be more frustrating than entertaining to watch.  However, I did notice when the show seemed to have much more positive reception toward the end of the first season.

I am not well-educated in these matters, but have two brothers who fall into the "frat boy" category.  Earlier this summer they had a "discussion" with my husband wherein they informed him that he was no longer supposed to wear cargo shorts.  Apparently we all stand corrected?

Frat boys are decidedly anti-cargo shorts.  Your frat guy in question definitely lost a bet and has been forced to wear an "embarrassing outfit."

I'm leaving to go back to school tomorrow, and I'm so giddy that I can hardly contain myself.  It helps that I absolutely loved college the first time around, and that I'm going back after a few years in the "real world."  The thing I have hated most about the real world?  The fact that it, for me, is apparently a…

To be fair, only those who were not from the Midwest would go to an interior room and get away from windows.  Every self-respecting Midwesterner would be standing on the driveway (OK, out in the street) to try to see the funnel cloud.

Jay S and Dr. John, I can see what you're saying.  I guess I just never thought that they'd continue to like the show after all of the times Sorkin has used it to air his anti-gun and anti-Tea Party views.  Around here, people still love their Tea Party.   But it seems that can all be forgiven in the light of a…

I find it ironic that this comment was placed right in the middle of a rant about Michelle Bachmann treating Christians like they're imbeciles (who will presumably believe anything).  I mean, sure, I'm on board with that assessment, but its merit is completely undermined by the extent to which the biblical history is…

I've had a similar experience.  Moreover, a number of those Facebook friends are acquaintances I've made while married to the Army.  I've found it to be a really odd intersection of beliefs and tastes.  On one hand they'll rant about the damn liberals ruining our country, show up in droves at Chick-fil-a, and post…
