Sometimes I like the voiceover, but sometimes it's just the most heavy-handed thing ever. I'm still not over the "HE'S BEEN DEAD ALL ALONG" moment from S6. Sheesh.

The issue of most concern is that Dexter Morgan is nearly impossible to root for, relate to, or invest in as a character.

Seriously, that was so distracting. "I know it's been six months and all, but…" You can get away with that shit in a series pilot, but eighth season premiere?? Come on.

Richard is kinda inconsistent, isn't he. Sometimes it really seems like Lorelai's big problem is with her mother and Richard's kinda halfheartedly on her side (or at least not actively against her), but he was pretty terrible in that one, scolding her in front of her employees and her kid and everything. (Though I was

Seriously! I don't consider Jared Padalecki to be a master of wry line deliveries, exactly, but I died at "How tall are you?" "Why? You wanna dance?" "No, thank you. [pause] Appreciate the offer, though." HA!

I'm fairly certain that happened, yes. I really gotta stop watching this show at work.

(“Who told me? Fucking King Neptune!”)

COOGAN IS A CUNT

Oh my god. I desperately hope that's real; that's basically Michael, Brick Tamland and Andy Stitzer all rolled into one. I just wish he'd asked Colbert how many pots he's smoken.

I believe in season three it's "Tall, queer, handsome as ever!" I kinda love it.

Geocaching?? Unrealistically awesome ASL skills? Oh Christ, this guy really is a Manic Pixie Dream Dude. British sarcasm does not negate that. I kinda have no patience for those types of characters, and I am really sick of all the random new love interests on this show—I agree, come back, Noah!—so this is

I love this show, I don't even care. I'm aware that it's often ridiculous, but it's enjoyably so, and I'm one of those people willing to tolerate some truly silly/over-the-top writing if I genuinely care about the characters and think they're well-acted, and [for the most part] I definitely do in this case. It's one

Okay, I love both of these episodes, but are we gonna talk about the fact that Romeo & Juliet does not, in fact, end with "thus with a kiss I die" and Romeo's death?? Aren't they doing the entire Act 5? I can understand ending the actual TV scene there, but they act like the play (or at least their part of it) ends

Okay, if we're talking factual errors and nitpicks, holy shit does it annoy me in that later episode when Paris starts singing Into the Woods songs to drive him crazy, except the lyrics are totally wrong. I know it's Sondheim, but still, none of the songs go "I've got some beans, who wants some beans, the magic beans,

Just the fact that they called it "Old English" was making me cry—like, Old English is Beowulf and shit. "British a really long time ago" is not really the same thing. That being said, I am a total dork for themed dinners and such and I would love to attend something like that.

Hmmm…Tristan. Jess turned out okay, and at least Logan was completely upfront about his douchery. Rory tried to change him, and of course it went badly, as it always does.

Remember when Kirk on Gilmore Girls briefly had a t-shirt business and sold shirts featuring brief headlines about news around town ("Babette Ate Oatmeal," "Faux Poe Foes")? I feel like he secretly invented hashtags, pre-Twitter, and no one's talking about it.

Oh my god, yes. 10 years ago I would've been all over that, with his Johnny Deppian looks and Byronic sadness.

Ah, so now we understand the reasons behind Ty's Violent Feminist outburst from last week; that was actually pretty clever. When he started telling that story I thought he was just going to say that he and/or his buddies accidentally killed a civilian (and possibly a kid, a la In the Valley of Elah and other similar

Yeah, I was wondering about that—did Travis know Toby was his competition for the job, or did he basically think he had it in the bag when John said he wanted to discuss it further? Either way, it was just kinda shitty to officially announce his decision in front of everyone; he should've done it in private first. But
