I want to try online dating again but then …I've watched too much Catfish.

Another European timezone person here, though TI works quite fine unless I get a social life and meet up with people in the evening or have a date or want to go see a film.

What goes great with gin besides tonic? I have a bottle of gin and nothing to do over the weekend, figured I might as well learn to enjoy gin (bottle was a gift).

I want to try bacon-wrapped salmon with a maple mustard sauce recipe I saw some days back online but I'm afraid it won't fulfill its promise: my mouth waters just typing out the ingredients.

@avclub-66f0eb7a6d8ee7b11c8bf8f1100bfede:disqus Why would you need to be a "real" geek? Just like the stuff you like and enjoy it, dude. There is no bar to reach here. For any of us, geeky or otherwise.

Oh, totally. I love watching even non-English entertainment when I'm not too tired to read subtitles. There's a ton of good stuff out there. And one of my best friends watches almost no intelligent TV, mostly just trashy reality shows but reads a ton of high-brow novels and good non-fiction. That's her menu and she…

I see your point, but I'm also one of those people that if I'm in the mood for something fluffy and kind of inconsequential, there's no way you're getting me to watch something quality that has more substance and also requires more brainpower to parse in all its brilliance. It'll just put me in a bad mood, which will…

I hate the casual cruelty in TBBT, especially when so many references are made to these being people who have been bullied in the past for their nerdiness/geekiness. People like that usually stick together, and even if nerds and geeks can also be absolute assholes, even to one another, these people are supposed to be…

This is a weird comment to make in reply to a pretty good observation. You seem offended by the idea that there is a definition of 'geeky' out there that is actually very mainstream, and that your life-long hobbies of collecting and being a fan of certain things could suddenly be a part of that mainstream. Why? It…

That's weird, I will actually watch this show with my mom because while I do find it atrocious I genuinely enjoy seeing her enjoy it, see how she parses the pop culture-heavy jokes and I'm sitting there wondering, "Does she even know what Star Trek: TNG  is? Why is she laughing? This is fascinating". Often she'll say…

Great point. This is why one of my friends who loved BBT stopped watching it - she thought they stopped seeming like friends, and instead were just a bunch of mean people being mean to each other for the sake of some comedy. You have to have that balance of friends snarking one another and also showing some genuine…

Depends. It's sometimes nice to weep your heart out at a mediocre film or laugh really hard at a comedy you'd merely snort at when in your living-room in normal circumstances, but for me it skews my view of some films and so I find myself recommending films that on second viewing are actually really unimpressive,…

I needed a sugar/caffeine kick so I put maple syrup in my coffee today and was in fucking heaven. Recommended, regardless of whether your syrup is stolen from strategic reserves or purchased legally.

There is so much truth to that theory about movies being more effective on an airplane.

I'm sure they'll recap most of last season in the beginning of this new one in some way and it's not so complexly plotted that you can't work out who some of the re-occuring characters are (or what kind of archetypes they represent). On the other hand, there's been so much revealed about our two main characters in a…

It's very good, especially when marathoning. I marathoned both seasons in about a week.

If I can get my dad together with some other dads, I'm watching dads.

I am not ready for Person of Interest to come back. I'm still half-reeling from the finale.

I caught an episode or two over the summer when my internet was out of order and oh my god, it truly is painful. "Ha ha the Asian guy pee'ed himself ha ha."

But what is art, man?
