I thought the same thing about Debbie and cheered her on wholeheartedly.

I'm not necessarily against it. It's a joke among my friends that I often hate the main characters on my favorite TV shows, so this is just par for the course. It sounds really cliche to say "this is, like, so REAL" but it is. Like I mentioned in my initial comment, Daphne making poor decisions and being stubborn and

Agreed on the hair - the layers and the flip are almost, I don't know, mom-y? I've not really paid attention to this or let it distract me, but I'm sure it will now that we've discussed this.

I was STUNNED at this. I mean, I get it, survival and all. But wow.

I really want to like Daphne but lately, the writers have been making it hard. I'm sure they're doing this on purpose and props to Katie LeClerc for playing it in a way that makes the viewers (or at least, this viewer) feel conflicted. I just think she makes really dumb decisions - as do all teenagers, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure he's Romeo.

I HATE that this is where this is going. I'm hoping that that kiss was just somehow part of the play, like Daphne ends up being Juliet, or something equally crazy but still better than real life romance.

Everyone TOTALLY knows she plays Tara's cousin in that one Buffy episode.

Seth Green is also in a strange X-Files episode - and he looks the same as he does today. There's a joke/connection there. . .

I'm with you. Although I think Ted is too old to be playing "I need to be with a crazy", I read Lily's advice the same way. She's over it, they're all over it - if it'll keep you from whining about finding The One and since you quite obviously can't bring yourself to peace out the crazy, go for it. Be and do crazy.

I loved this episode. I was so heartbroken and then I chided myself for being so heartbroken when I remembered Melody's lesson. I totally agree with a sentiment you wrote about in your opening paragraph: I love television and shows like this for forcing me to see and deal with something that I otherwise might not

I loved this episode. This was a quality HIMYM that reminded me of yesteryear and I was so on board with it, it made me laugh out loud and everyone was likable - which is hard for me to say, because I can't stand Robin & Ted. Totally a win.

Agreed on the back to basics - I enjoyed that as well, the newbies took the back seat and I was all about it.

I like that Kurt said "I always knew this was going to happen" and the little inner monologue that followed. Rachel will always need to be grounded, because girlfriend is cray cray, and THIS is why its important to have 'real' friends. Furthermore, I LOVE that Rachel didn't start talking shit about Kurt when those

Super girl crush on Emmy Rossum that is totally the result of Shameless. Loved this interview and I read it in Fiona's voice. Too much?

Fairly random, but I'm so glad they provided an explanation as to how Lana knew Johnny, as opposed to solely relying on the 'I'd recognize you anywhere, my baby boy' shtick.

I was so irritated with Robin's story line because this was DONE already. With Lily. In the first season.

I was so annoyed that it wasn't written into the show at ALL, even a throwaway "I'm so stressed I'm sick" or "I spent all night yelling at Patrice since I can't yell at my dad!" would've sufficed. It really irked me.

Fun fact: May 25, 2013 is my wedding date. :)

I also had the same "oh, I wish this person would've auditioned for The Voice" thoughts. Similarly, I had a moment where I said, "why are they freaking about about this person being good? This isn't 'X-Factor', where are the higher standards?!"
