How exactly does the book cover convey the way Peeta Mellark's arms smell of bread?  Scratch n' sniff?  I may need to make a trip to Barnes and Noble

Interesting.  When I caught up on Mad Men and Breaking Bad on DVD, I had no desire to watch more than one or two episodes a day, despite really enjoying both those shows.  But I blazed through the first season of Vampire Diaries

I've mistaken a low blood sugar episode for severe autism

Speaking of Glee's horrible handling of mental illness, are they ever going to address Sugar's pretend-Asperger's again?

Ted has become the wacky sidekick in his own show

David Comes to Life is an important album, not an Important Album.  To become an Important Album it must enter the mainstream consciousness, which it will not do because 1) the band is called Fucked Up, 2) it's too "arty" for hardcore fans, and 3) it's too "hardcore" for art-rock fans.  Plus it's pretty goddamn hard…

It was kind of interesting in the beginning to see Marshall stepping into this suburban dad world, calling himself "Mr. Erikson." It seemed to suggest a pretty major shift in these characters' lives.  I also appreciated the show erasing the fuzzy glow of parenthood with the acknowledgement that children can be…

I agree that the twist with the kids not being real was unnecessary.  As affecting as it was, it just felt a little gimmicky. I think it would have been just as powerful if there had been a short scene in the middle of the episode where Robin imagines the conversation with her future kids, and we know all along that…

"Christmas at Ground Zero" is also awesome.  Too bad 9/11 hijacked the term "ground zero" ("hijacked", get it?!!) and it can never be played again.  Terrorism sucks.

I had a dormmate in college who owned 12 versions of that song, half of which were in one Asian language or another (complete with a rap bridge in heavily-accented English, as these things are), and would blast them with his door open every day between Thanksgiving break and winter break.  I no longer fear hell, my…

I love "Christmastime Is Here", and here's why you should too

It needs more viola!

How about having him find a way into the fairy tale world and just being trapped there for the rest of the season?  And when they find him he's older, or turned into an animal, or something?

Are you not considering that the baby might be Kevin's?  Is he not virile?

Sure, they created the "I'm a tough guy but I'm putting my heart on my sleeve, because I'm a tough guy and I can" template that's responsible for a lot of terrible rock n' roll, but I'd argue that Pearl Jam did it well for the most part.  Don't blame them for the countless lesser versions

Exactly.  Saying Pearl Jam killed rock and roll by inspiring Creed and Nickleback is like saying videogames are directly responsible for murders

They should have done a similar reveal about what the girls JD dated actually looked like.  Having JD only date girls who look like Heather Graham and Elizabeth Banks is probably one of the most absurd things the show has done.
