Honestly, that's most TV shows. The worst version is when Character A says they have something really super monumentally important to say, [interruption that somehow convinces Character A not to say it], Character B says So what did you want to tell me?, and Character A covers with something like "we're out of milk"

To be fair, something like Mythbusters was always going to be hampered by its premise. There are a limited number of widespread cultural + scientifically testable myths for them to cover.

I can definitely understand that point of view, even if I don't exactly share it. At least Mary did get some of the feedback she deserved in that last season, which is more than I can say for Rory. You could argue that Mary still got off easier than her behavior warranted, but given Downton's general track record, I

I'm with you. Fuck Logan and then kill him, praying mantis-style! Actually, might as well make it a three-fer: marry Logan, fuck him, then kill him, inheriting all his money. Black widow-style!

That's not how surrogacy works. She's already pregnant, of her own volition (so to speak). She could always put the baby up for adoption, but I don't see that happening. The only way she could make money is if she literally sold her baby, which is illegal.

Not to mention that baby would have a bad case of fetal alcohol syndrome.

Call me undecided but I sometimes love this trope and sometimes hate it! In this case I think it made sense, but I still would've liked to see Rory find something else of interest to write about. Otherwise it seems like the only thing she has going for her as a writer is the unique circumstances of her childhood, as

One that fit on the back of a menu!

Yeah, that joke didn't work at all over the length of time it was supposed to. (And the fact that they had been dating for two years prior just makes Rory seem like even more of an asshole. That's a significant long-term relationship!)

He's got a pretty sexy voice, too. A small part of me was totally falling for the idea of being some rich guy's mistress, lounging around in a free mansion and occasionally deigning to work on some "book"…while the other 95% of me wanted him to fall off that balcony and die.

I saw Brave last year and identified way more with the mother than the daughter. I'm not even a parent. But for god's sake, kid, your mom is trying her best, show her some respect! And get off my lawn etc

I'm not a big Rory fan, but I definitely think we need more female anti-heroines in media. (Men have so many!) My personal favorite is Lady Mary from Downton Abbey. The show had its flaws (understatement), but she was perfect in her sheer imperfection.

She seemed to have completely forgotten the "political" part of her interest in political journalism.

Yes! Honestly, I had to keep reminding myself that she was supposed to be 32, not 23. I'm 23, and I really felt I could relate to Rory's storyline in this—not in the "super rich grandparents" way, unfortunately, but fortunately not in the "weird amounts of cheating" either—what with the rootlessness, trying to

Wow, way to blow Doogie Howser's cover.

What really caught me off guard was Zack's mention of their kids' "loud Korean energy" or whatever. It just seemed like a weird, irrelevant moment to point out their (half-)ethnicity.

I noticed that line's similarity to Galavant too! And Galavant did it better.

I usually love Gina, but I didn't fully buy that she'd have any interest in protecting that Turkey's life. Nor Rosa, for that matter. I was so annoyed as soon as Charles showed up with a live turkey because I immediately realized there was no way it was going to get eaten. Turkey is delicious, people! Use your heads!

I always feel like such a failure when I see a 3D movie, because somehow my brain gets used to it pretty quickly and I completely stop noticing.

Does having only one thumb make me more or less deserving?
