Go for horrible selection…stay for terrible customer service.

He's just a scared parent, afraid he irrevocably messed up his child. Satan's just a really convenient cover.

This vision of Hollywood seems suspiciously similar to Ned Flanders' , just inserting David Lynch for James L. Brooks.

Now I need some tips for ladies looking to treat their d right.

It'd be a blast to hang out with him. You'd have to be down for a lot of listening, though.

Zing!

What else can we protest, now that the Groupon ad and Mubarak are defunct?

Poor Giles. The comic book/S8 continues the raping and pillaging of the character until…well, you know.

Citizen Christy, I never got that characterization of Xander in S7. He never seemed to have that particular attribute (except maybe his speech in "Into the Woods"), and I always thought of that line as some pretty heavy revisionist history regarding his character.

At this point, Xander's overall development is so unclear. He'll gain perspective or maturity in an episode, and then, a few episodes later, any growth he experienced is neglected or actively undone. It's at odds with his "superBuffy" persona as the heart, especially as Zack notes, in the back half of the show.

I really hated the Willow magic-stuff at this point in the season, where she can't use magic or it'll be considered a "relapse." Oh, and that she has a "secret stash." The drug language gets pushed to the limit, and as we've discussed here (probably to death), the metaphor doesn't hold up at all.

Can I take it farther? I find O'Neal far superior to AG.

Why, thank you.

*TV voice activation recognizes the command and turns to Keeping Up With the Kardashians*

At least the first Babar book had a chase scene.

Little Miss
I found these books super boring as a kid.

Killbot, what is it about science teachers?! My 8th grade science teacher was having an affair with his student aide, who was a senior. I realized when I saw her giving him a pretty sensuous back rub during an early morning help session.

He's the definition of a 1-trick pony.

Sorry, I'm one of the people that made my students watch it, but only to pick apart how faulty and obvious the rhetoric he uses is. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MODERATION!
