I do love the ridiculous amount of female gaze in this show. I swear someone comments on Avery's hotness and/or he removes his shirt in every single episode. It's great.

I can't even remember the names of any of the other interns and I watched every episode last season.

He is definitely the only unironically good thing about the Twilight series (well, aside from Michael Sheen), but the wonderful How Did This Get Made? podcast refers to him as "Not Quite Tom Skeritt" and it's very hard to unsee.

See, I thought it was just a veiled reference to Rent. I mean, Michel is a hair's breadth away from being Angel sometimes. I'm still laughing at his sarcastic line about "shaking it to the Miami Sound Machine" rather than bothering to catch the mouse running around the inn.

Remember Chandler watching the birthing video? That was the face I made at that line.

Sigh. I'm somewhat over my rage and just slipping into resigned bitterness; at least they had the decency to descend gradually into appalling suck rather than just pull the rug out from under us at the last second. But it's still kind of shocking to realize just how little the writers understood their own protagonist…

And then he pistol-whips the dude and steals his car and people are just walkin' around in the background, not noticing. My mouth was actually hanging open at that bit.

In the words of one of my heroes, DS Andy Wainwright, what absolute horseshit. The worst example of fridging I've ever seen. Wow.

Ha, I had to stop myself yelling that during Man of Steel. I mean, the religious stuff in Prisoners was a little heavy-handed, but at least they didn't keep mentioning the fact that our protagonist was 33 and have him actually sit in front of a stained-glass window, for fuck's sake.

In retrospect I really could've done without the religious themes—they didn't totally overtake the movie, but it's just such an obvious, overdone choice (crazy person thinks they're motivated by God to do evil shit / "noble" person prays for guidance when sliding into immorality, etc). But other than that I have to…

I'm now kind of wondering if the whole "intellect of a 10-year-old" thing was actually not so true—that is, he was a person of average intelligence who was incredibly traumatized by his years of abuse and witnessing abuse and ends up choking dogs and weirdly befriending little girls and so forth. Point being that…

Sandor Clegane does not appreciate your sass.

Right?? Though possibly I have just been seduced by his pentalingual ways. Oh my.

Sookie being clumsy feels to me like one of those things that disappeared after the pilot because it was just too cheesy to keep returning to that punchline, but I thought it kinda worked here just to make the interaction with Trix all the more ridiculous.

I still use "enscotched" wherever possible. And once again I'm torn between disgust at Richard's total obliviousness to Trix's horrible treatment of Emily and paralyzing laughter over Marion Ross' flawless comic timing. "Can I get you some champagne?" "If you wish me to be violently ill tomorrow, absolutely."

Seriously. I thought the Antler Man on "Hannibal" was as freaky as it got in the demonic human/animal head department, but that was actually worse.

Informant spends most of its time listening to Darby rationalize and dissemble.

I have to say, I loved it when Kelly's ditzy lines were actually incredibly dark. "I never really thought about death until Princess Diana died. That was the saddest funeral ever. *pause* That and my sister's."

His despairing whine of "…whyyyyy?" in "A Benihana Christmas" when Dwight steals his corporate bathrobe is hands-down my favorite Toby moment, but I must say that one's close.

If they'd found a way to work "ditto" in there, I'd say solid B+. And if Deb had said "surprise, motherfucker" (rather than "freeze") when capturing Saxon, as I so hoped she would, then A+. But alas.
