If this somehow magically ended up being available in Canada, I would jump on it since we are denied hulu along with watching shows on their network websites and only have crappy Zip instead of Netflix. I have no delusions that this would be available here at all though.

Loud noises
It's ridiculous, but even the most mundane of movies (if I'm watching in a cinema) can scare me because I have sensitive ears and movies these days *fistshake* are too loud which means that I will forever be made fun of for screaming during The Mummy when a suitcase slammed on Brendan Fraser's fingers.

Spoilers ahoy
Okay, fine, nuts are stomped, legs are drilled, clits are cut off with rusty scissors (I really think it would have taken more than one snip to accomplish that), but really the worst part for me was….

SPOILER! I don't think Dafoe is meant to be the Antichrist here. Hint: look at the title card.

Strange. I was under the impression that he was already a senior since he's the quarterback, and there's been talk of football scholarships.

Kids these days
I always wonder what the end game is for shows like this. I mean, unless this is some sort of infinite school year, the older kids will graduate and go to college which is an inherent problem with any series that focuses on late high school. I think Freaks and Geeks could have been sustained for two

PEE ESS

Immigration
I guess because I am in a family of dual citizens it seemed odd to me that Robin thought she had to "choose". Of course, they acknowledged at the end that she didn't have to which made all of that feel kind of cheap.

You're losing me
Are there going to be bad puns every week? This show is getting to the point where it needs a drinking game to be tolerable.

Okay, I guess this is nitpicky…
But an ultrasound at 10 weeks is not going to let you know the sex of the baby. It's way too soon. That confused me at first because I thought they were implying that Quinn was at least 20 weeks along in which case she would definitely not be fitting into her cheerleader uniform. I'm

"in knowing the future, you automatically change it"

It was supposed to be, what, 17 hours later? I really think the freeway would have been much more like the beginning of Y: The Last Man which is kind of what the first episode reminded me of post-flash.

Frito, you're right about NC, at least certain parts of it. Chapel Hill was already the subject of Jesse Helms's ire - "Why build a zoo when we can just put up a fence around Chapel Hill?"

Thanks
I keep missing the announcements and get behind on my reading. I just now got Little, Big from the library.

Indoor woo!
I'm glad that everyone is back in top form. Was it just me or did Robin look like she had a goiter from certain unflattering angles? Probably the tail end of pregnancy weight.

burning question
Who would win in a showdown between Acafellas and Here Comes Treble?

V
Part of the pilot for V was shot outside my office building so I guess I will tune in for that reason. It probably won't be as thrilling as I have it built up to be.

I myself refer to them as "leans".

Pfft, Steely Dan
I really like Wilco's cover of "Any Major Dude".

She once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road.
