Henry Francis
might be two-dimensional, but he's the only person who has any remotely positive effect on Betty. He spends most of the episode using examples from his previous marriage and child-rearing experience, and she actually listens to him. I would've thought she'd be made uncomfortable by constant references to

Duck and Peggy:
Hot or not?

What about The Wire?

Fucking Hearst
I've been re-watching over the summer and this week was the first time my episodes have coincided with the recaps, whee. But I forgot one thing about the goddamn third season that always made my skin crawl:

Yeah, but you get to see the end of the world! (also technically you do in Doctor Who and in His Dark Materials as well.)

I heart cheesy British sci-fi, apparently
The first two that come to mind are Hitchhiker's Guide and Doctor Who (either Baker or Tennant).

Attention must be paid to
Kenard. Fucking Kenard, man.

the problem with pitchfork
is that it doesn't really have any competition. Regardless of Pitchfork's quality/breadth of coverage/douche quotient, it's got a monopoly over contemporary online music journalism.

Six words: Brad Paisley, "So Much Cooler Online"

it's good to see the doctor at a loss sometimes
The Doctor, especially Tennant's version, seems to ALWAYS have an explanation or background with the scenario at hand at the ready. The only time he's not, it seems, is when he has to deal with 1. the story of the Time Lords/his past on Gallifrey and 2. sexual/romantic

Mya
Aw! My girl will be back, no doubt — supposedly she's been writing songs while on the road, but she was about to have major visa issues in the US anyway. I'm just glad I caught her in Philly a few weeks back (AMAZING) before this happened.

SPRING BREEEEEEAK YEAH!
Well, when are we gonna get rowdy?

"Old bicycle"
HA. Nailed it.

Awesome tv davids
…You could add David Milch (Deadwood) to that list. Just saying, you know?

Not that we need more reasons to hate on paula deen
…but she denies any knowledge of Smithfield Foods' sketchy environmental and union-hating practices. Bleh.

or, the whale
