My sincere hope is that Robert Patrick plays Agent John Doggett, and his only dialogue is parroted directly from The X-Files.

It's a big commitment, OK?!

I have, and it's so great. She's intelligent and classy and altogether lovely. I kind of want to be her best friend.

Is the first season of Lost Girl essential, or would it be alright to jump in on it now?

Mr. Citizen was doing the same thing. I expected more of a lumbering guy, but this makes sense somehow.

I remember being caught off guard and rushed along exactly the same way when I read ACOK, though. (Ha. ACOK.) Renly's a favorite character of mine, but his death isn't a tearjerker so much as a reality check.
