A Grandma you can tell afar.
They belong to DAR- oh DARN her!

I'm with you both. Part of the reason we sympathize so much with Henry, who is even more unpleasant than Ellen, is not so much because he's ill but because we, like Geoffrey, believe 100% that he can be a transcendent Macbeth. I don't believe in Ellen's Shakespeare chops because we never see anything more than…

Most magical that I can recall: while playing the Casbah in San Diego, Rookie Card played too long, so they had to move all their stuff out on the sidewalk. It's in the flight path for the airport, and when a plane flew over, they broke into "Back in the USSR." And just as they were doing the outro, another plane flew…

My husband's high school friends have performed an interpretative dance to "Hurt" at five weddings to date.

I freaking loved that story. I think it was called "Skin." Roald Dahl was also the writer from whom I learned about aphrodisiacs.

I like the adaptation that Quentin Tarantino did of Dahl's "Man From the South" in "Four Rooms," although the first time I saw it I was shocked and slightly offended that someone famous knew and loved Dahl's short stories. There are so many fabulously fucked up stories, like the sheltered vegetarian who discovers the…

The artistic temperament triangle of Richard (heart, reliability, no brain), Oliver-and-Darren (reliability, brain, no heart) and Geoffrey (brain, heart, no reliability) and the ways it manifests is one of my favorite things to watch in this show. My biggest problem with the series has always been the character of…

As a person who's been both production assistant and stage manager in a previous life, I love that the show gives such prominence and depth to both Anna and Maria while making competence both characters' hallmark.

I'm relieved they'll be able to bring in those hilarious penguins.

I agree that Asylum is the strongest episode of this season yet. I thought the Angles were fun and scary, the pacing was great, the visuals were fun (if nonsensical), and I cried at Amy's farewell and thought it a fitting and lovely end for the Ponds' run. That said, it nearly ties with…

I agree 100% that the opening with the private dick was unnecessary. Anybody that saw the Impossible Astronaut knows that the DW writers don't mind hanging the audience out to dry on a line of WTF. I also agree that it was a wonderful goodbye to the Ponds- it almost makes up for what they did to Donna. And hooray for…

I didn't mind the fake-out ending so much, but the overwrought dialogue, bang-you-on-the-head-with-it O NOES THIS IS THE PONDS' LAST EPISODE foreshadowing, the oddness of the Angels taking over every statue in the city and now they have babies somehow (?) and the rather pointless…
