Am I the only person who loves well-done, chewy, browned scrambled eggs (with a healthy amount of thyme)? Creamy scrambled eggs are nasty.

"It lacks the clever exaggeration or twist required for something to count as parody, and there’s really not even anything clever about it."

"There was plenty of sex and roundhouse kicking, sure, but showrunner Joss Whedon seemed much more interested in introspective questions."

This is my second favorite episode of television ever, following Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Hush."

I used to think "cosplay" was just a sexual fetish.  It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized that some people were into it as a non-sexual hobby.

I kissed a Wookie and I liked it.

I've never understood the appeal of "Jaynestown."  To me, it's boring and not funny.  It's definitely my least favorite episode.
