That joke is always funny - if only because every now and then (the last time was just before Christmas) the clouds got thin and I could see this yellow disc in the sky and thought, "Holy crap, the moon is *bright* tod….oh, Allison, you stupid bitch, that's the sun and stop looking at it before you blind yourself."

Reed has grades.

People in their twenties are really into land use planning and greenspaces?

I bet they're from CALIFORNIA

Love Leverage for that reason.  Especially since they've started throwing in dog whistle homages - like the baseball stadium or in the last epi playing Portland-for-Portland for no logical reason as far as I can tell.  People in Portland bitch about Leverage disrupting traffic (particular amusing hate letter http://kfm…

I want to like it because it's PDX - but the fact that they're clearly not actual Portlanders  just ruins it and the jokes they make are unmoored from the city or the culture - it's about as legitimately Portland as the Wild and Crazy Guys were Russian.  What is *with* the "In Other Words" sketches?  It's not like…

I bought Go-gurt because of that line. You would think my expectations would have been set reasonably.  I was still horribly disappointed.

How about when Dexter drown the guy that shot Mos Def?  No…you're right, that was boring, too.  I'm still going to watch the last season.

I wanted to chime in with something racist about the Irish, just to show how cool I am, but I was brought up so incredibly liberal I don't know anything racist to say.  I though "chink" was short for "Chicano"

And Klingons always speak in English when alone.

Me reporting to my mother in the other room, "He didn't get a chance to die of tuberculosis"  "Indians?" "Yup."

I was kind of hoping someone would talk about this - how often is a woman portrayed striking out violently in anger in a way that is fully justified on television?  She's a) defending herself, b) avenging her husband (she doesn't mourn or cry until after the Indian is dead) - that's some action!  Women are the victims…

I don't know what any of those words mean.

Bigger star v closer encounter…?  I think Bill Cosby one degree of separation is better than Common.  I hadn't heard of him before the credits on this show.

I literally can not watch Deadwood - I try, and I start wincing and looking away and covering my eyes and eventually I realize listening to it is too traumatizing too - so I turn it off.

They have that on 30 Rock.  Only it was funny.

Well, and he doesn't have a clue as to which side his bread is buttered on - it's network television (I'm hearing Tina Fey's voice from the 30 Rock pilot, "But it's not HBO.  It's television") - some of us might be NPR listeners and subscribers to the New Yorker, but not most and we're the ones that pay his bills. …

It's not the casting-a-bunch-of-talented-people that makes it arrogant (obvious WW had an equally if not more august ensemble (did you hear me pronounce that in French?)) it's casting that group and then giving them a steaming turd to work with.

But you commented? Wow…there's something…very internet about that. 

Well, it's possible she'd been in labor and ignoring it before that moment - third births can either make you an old pro at knowing the signs or discount the signs because they don't feel as severe as you remember them and you chock it up to the kind of false labor stuff Zoey was having.  That's off camera, though, so…
