I couldn't believe they got away with that line.

Seriously, I think that's the first time/most I've ever liked her. "She knew what I meant."

Okay, I knew the dude was Prometheus as soon as the coroner mentioned the liver being missing, because I read my D'Aulaire's in second grade like every other good little nerd—but why was he wearing a Dexter Kill Shirt? That reference didn't seem to particularly fit the story. But as silly as it all was, it was

It's Emerson Cod and Kemal Pamuk. That is all I need to know, really. Sign me the hell up.

I didn't really hear it either, and while I'm no expert, I agree that it does seem kind of fast, since he's only just started losing his hearing. But I guess the point is that he's only just starting to accept going deaf and is still sort of pretending it's not happening, so he's sort of in denial that he can't always

So many great, effective small moments in this one—Travis' look of pride when Melody encouraged him to be a teacher, Daphne quickly changing the subject when Zane noticed Noah's increasing Deaf accent, Bay's trepidation about believing Regina's determination to change, etc. I was just thinking earlier how this show

I personally have never liked her much; I find her too mean-spirited a lot of the time. However, Marlee is of course an awesome actress, and she's not portrayed as an over-the-top 'villain,' really, she's just strongly opinionated and a fierce advocate. It's very true to life and to the Deaf community; I assume Marlee

I know what you mean. For the most part I love their relationship, but I'm wary of him becoming her 'teacher,' largely because there are way too many shows on right now with male characters condescendingly preaching at females a lot (Glee and The Newsroom come to mind). Detective Joan is awesome, but I'd like to see

I love the idea of Joan becoming a detective and Sherlock being dorkily excited about it, but it does feel a little rushed—I think they actually could've dragged out the sober companion/no longer sober companion/decides to stay anyway/decides to stay permanently thing a little more. Obviously we knew from the pilot

I was hoping the twist was that Billy Burke showed up to make sweet love to David Lyons, finally. Apparently this did not happen. So I will pass, thanks.

Well, I was mildly polite—I simply said "thank you" when he signed my Playbill, but I offered no further comment and didn't ask for a photo with him, so compared to the dozens of squealing fangirls around me, I should think I seemed very cold indeed. But I haven't got time for his Mickey Mouse bullshit. I was there

And that is why I cold-shouldered Dan Stevens at the stage door of "The Heiress." My creepy fangirling has STANDARDS. Such a terrible, terrible decision, and such corny writing. It totally cheapens Sybil's death, too, since the focus will now awkwardly and abruptly shift to his. And I assume S4 will open, like, a

I love Christoph so, so much, especially now that I know that he's not afraid to be outrageously silly. But really, next to no use of his awesome language skills?! Sheesh.

Well, yeah, in the sense that he interpreted the message of that movie as being BLACK PEOPLE [and all non-white people] ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU. HIDE!!

"Another joke I liked: Pierce had the panic room installed the day Do The Right Thing opened. It takes Troy a minute to figure out the significance of this."
aaaand it took me from the moment the joke was said to about ninety seconds ago, so Troy's doing better than I am. And this is a kid who believed that everyone is

Ha! You're not alone in thinking that about Andre and Marcus—I piped up "so they're boyfriends?" during their first conversation, and my roommate agreed. But then they were revealed as brothers and sadly this is not HBO, so I guess we're not going there. But this show seems the sort of throw in an LGBT character

I always thought it was funny that Dwight was so adamant about calling his team "Gryffindor" and not saying Voldemort's name in "Beach Games" when he is in fact, like, the best example of a Slytherin on current television.

If Pam and Jim break up I will burn Utica to the ground. (…huh, I use that a lot, but rarely in Office-related contexts.) But seriously. I actually really like that they're having realistic, non-sitcommy marital problems, but ending the show with them splitting would be horrible. We've spent all this time believing

The Root reveal was awesome. Totally didn't see it coming, but I was hoping she'd be back. But I'm sad about the (possible) demise of Carter and Gordon the Vampire Hunter's love affair. :\

I KNEW IT. Totally called that Natalie was into the ladies, though I refuse to believe she's not into Bay—they had way too much awesome Belligerent Sexual Tension, and I definitely noticed her look the other week when Bay mentioned her "other mom." In as much as I fanatically shipped Bay/Zara (that whole plot was
