I started the summer after season 1. I'd started hate-watching 7th Heaven as a wind-down after my summer job, and I stuck around enough times for the reruns of Buffy that at some point, it just got me. It was probably the "Angel" episode, where I was like, oh this isn't all about talking dummies and possessed teens. I…

I teared up several times in Bridesmaids and I think it's one of the best (maybe because it's one of the only) recent films about women's friendships. But I wouldn't say it was depressing. I mean, it was a fairly honest portrayal of a woman who's floundering in life and is desperate and jealous and has no idea how to…

Kimbra's section really makes the song. The very first words, sung quietly, "Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over…" building to that last, "…and I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you USED to know-oww-oww!!!" where her voices screeches a little give me shivers. The first time I heard…

I hope you and your wife will stick with it. The show is set in Texas and there is football. But it is not about football, and it's not about Texas specifically. It's about families and home and making families out of the people who surround you and a home wherever you find yourself. It's the greatest show of the…

Joss Whedon, yes. I just can't stand this song, which is odd because this kind of junk is usually right up my alley. I guess because I've heard all of the better versions of it first (all of the references Steve and Genevieve mentioned), this just seems watered-down and hacky in comparison.

Psych is my happy-place TV show. I just want to live in that sunny, breezy version of Santa Barbara and have Gus and Shawn make stupid jokes to me all day.

I would guess that half of the people who end up texting or checking their phone during a movie wouldn't identify themselves as texters. Texty McSoImportant thinks, Oh, I don't text during movies. I'm going to sit right in the center of the theater. Then he gets a little buzz in his pocket and as hard as he tries, he…

BingGhost!

@avclub-b7b34c1bfcc124c7188e5829be6a966e:disqus They did 50s and 60s in S1 and 2. So it seems like they do one each semester, given the timeline of the show. In four years of school, you could go through 8 decades.

If the show is going the Elena/Damon direction, that's fine, but Elena should have to face the consequences. So why do they have to get the Disapproving Brother out of the way? Jeremy has every right to not only disapprove, but be afraid for Elena in this situation. A little over a year ago (in TVD time), Damon killed…

But isn't it like the opposite? Alaric was a human, so while Klaus was controlling his body, he had the freedoms and restrictions of a human. So, he could walk into a house uninvited, but the body could also be killed (Klaus said he would just jump to someone else). Rebekah isn't allowed in the cave, so why should…

Basically everyone got less likeable in Seasons 6 & 7 (except Dawn, who finally became marginally decent in 7). Even Giles, the best character on the show, just LEFT Buffy when she was at her lowest point. Who cares if she relies on you? People rely on each other! That's what we do! She should be allowed to be a…

(I kind of love the decade dances.) (Actually I love all the dances.) (And most of the parties.)

I guess I feel like it did say which was the wrong choice. It said one was "good," and the other could be the BEST!!! (or the worst). I think, as Carrie said above, the show really shot itself in the foot with that one insipid speech. It was a misstep in terms of this episode's potential for greatness, but also in…

Elijah did pass out, I think. And Klaus did feel something - that's when he was talking to Caroline on the bench and kept saying, "What did you do?!" - but didn't go down because as a hybrid he's stronger or whatever. Even before he was a hybrid, he was stronger than/different from the others, which is why the daggers…

I think maybe it was also the fact that they'd just spent the day together and Caroline never mentioned anything about Klaus being obsessed with her. When they were talking in the cellar and she said, "There's more…" I really thought she was going to bring it up then. But instead she talked about how the gang…

Uh, that's next week, I think.

I definitely think you should watch The Vampire Diaries, but I want to let you down gently before you do. First, I suspect that they didn't actually shoot anything in Denver (they film in Atlanta). But maybe they'll use stock footage or something! Also, they don't write in diaries very much anymore, so I think your…

I feel the same way - it sucks that they happened to appear on the same season so only one of them got to win. I always end up comparing new crews to Quest and Beat Freaks, and I would put Beat Freaks ahead of all of the winners since their season. I was not a We Are Heroes fan, so while I'm glad a female crew won…

I'm sure Britney was always a little "dense" or flaky. The girl was in show business from elementary school - I'm pretty sure education was not Priority #1 for her family. But there is a huge difference between being air-headed and being mentally deficient to the point that it would explain not only her actions and…
