Yeah, it's Weird Al rapping the entire song in front of a green screen, with Donny Osmond dancing behind him. I love how into it DO gets. I watched it over and over for about two hours straight.

Whenever I rematch the Office, I always call it quits at the last ep of S3. I find that it works pretty well as a series finale. It doesn't have the "wrap-up" quality of a real series finale, but it caps most of the stories pretty well. S4 finale doesn't really have that quality at all (probably due to the 2007

Y'know, I read Joslyn's line more as an admission than a defense.

I've always pronounced it him-im, turning the y into a vowel (like synonym).

*insert Chad Michael Murray vs Chad Michaels joke here*

If we're talking about great adaptations of Tam Lin, have to mention Diana Wynne Jones' Fire & Hemlock, one of the all-time best.

Yeah, but I feel like the Federal Judge, in this instance, is RIGHT, but not listening to the "people" as a whole. OK is still very backwater, crazy-religious, and homophobic/racist/sexist, and getting something like this changed will be fought tooth and nail. I'm excited it's happening, but I don't think it changes

Okay, his home state. Sure, but he didn't release it just in his home state. It went nationwide. I think maybe I'm coming from a different place than a lot of people here because I am in OK. This song, played here, really means something. I was shunned—literally shunned—in elementary school for telling people my

The video does that to me.

I was astounded when I heard it played on the radio in Oklahoma. That kind of thing generally doesn't go over well here. It shows, more than anything else, I think, that things are definitely, finally, changing.

We-ell, I would disagree somewhat. I mean, yes, he's straight so it's not the same as someone "coming out", or having a song specifically about being gay playing on the radio. On the other hand, it's SO much easier to play your beliefs close to your chest, or say "yeah, gay rights, definitely I'm in favor of that,"

Whenever I see the scene of Charlotte and Harry together, literally the only thing I can think is "I'm so glad they're rich enough to have two bathrooms."

I believe he was intended to show how a companion could go wrong. 9 & Rose (mostly Rose) invited him along as a companion (not just to save him), but he ruined it. In my mind (and RTD's) he's a legit companion, he just didn't last.

Well, at the start of the show he was, what, 26? So that would have been 10 years (or 12 if you go by Dean's original age in this ep) after this story. And even in After School Special, you see Dean being the biggest baddest monster-huntingest mofo around. I think that staying with Sonny and then going back on the

Fantastic!

Yeah, I was coming here to say the same thing. It's a good speech but it's super self-centered; I would think the everyone at the graduation not related to Rory is sitting there going "Who is this chick and why is she talking about her mom?"

Perhaps time runs differently in Oz.

My guess is that that would be one of those cases where using silver shoes would be technically correct, but most people would see it as an error, and/or not get the reference ("why is she using silver shoes? where are her ruby slippers? wouldn't that make more sense?"). Alternatively, Baum wrote silver shoes when

Also, it may not necessarily be that more people are WRITING dystopian YA, but rather that agents and publishers are more likely to be looking for/publishing such genres (ditto paranormal romance). Most writers I know are writing what they are interested in, and sometimes that coincides with what the market wants.

Good title, though. I also like when they both ask "Which goes better with baby?"—But overall, yeah, the way they shit all over that ceremony makes me uncomfortable/angry
