(SPOILERS) @Radaar, I was also thinking about how Jonathan on the Scoobies would've made S7 a whole different show. How exactly do you envision it would've changed things?

I squeed
The narcoleptic Lab puppy falling asleep in his water bowl and blowing bubbles.

So true, La Pipe.

When it's my turn to get a push present, I'm accepting nothing less than a live-in maid. And a nanny. And one of them needs to know how to make really good cocktails.

@citizenchristy My sentiments exactly. I was sort of hoping for Dev Patel (or some younger version of him) for Peeta - that's how I imagined him while I was reading the books.

And you were expecting…what, quippy compliments?

@wolfmansRazor, when I graduated from college, I was terrified of becoming a Dorthea from Middlemarch - someone with huge goals/ambitions who was just sort of paralyzed by reality into not doing anything about them. I think everyone feels that way during school - like, "wtf am I even doing this for?" Being in school

It's about a guy who learns to be the Easter bunny…ostensibly. But underneath, it's actually about the reunification of Germany.

To your point, my 5 and 7 year old nephews saw the original Child's Play and believe Chucky to be the greatest threat to their existence. My sister exploits their fear by bringing in the threat of Chucky stopping by

I rewatched Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. It was as goofy as I remembered, and I still laughed, especially when Kurt Vonnegut showed up to write a paper on himself. Also, I think the English professor was the voice of Hidden Valley Ranch.

@Hendel, I also thought Four Lions was great, but it doesn't seem like many people saw it.

SPOILERS
I think the season finale is supposed to tie into the idea that Xander's the heart of the Scoobies, but everything this season so far has pointed to the exact opposite. And, while the scene with Willow is powerful and the idea is solid, I agree that his speech seems a little forced, a bit writerly. Reminds me

So many good Lemon lines: "$5,000 for kissing, $10,000 for snuggling. End of list." (exasperated prostitute Lemon stare down)

That Sorkin scene was inspired. "What is poking anyway and why won't anyone do it to me? I'm cool!"

LinkedIn
"He's on LinkedIn, he might as well be dead!" This is exactly how I feel about the matter.

Hopefully not another series described whimsically as a "Harry Potter for adults."
