AV Club has proven to me, over and over, that I'm incapable of being objective over anything I loved before 16. And 16 is on the low side. Star Trek 4 is one of my desert island movies, and therefore perfect. (I was at work today, rushing around, and as yet another person called my name, the Spock in my head replied…

It's maybe because I grew up with my dad, and me being the queen of spoonerisms, but I really notice when the wrong word is used, and I admit to silent annoyance. It's truly silence, though, unless I'm editing something. 
My dad always caught when I used the wrong one. Every time. And then he'd tease me. I love my dad.

@avclub-40904cf5a179d97beb9f7f3f8c02e080:disqus who doesn't love Galaxy Quest, really? If I walked into my living room right this minute and announced loudly "oh, that's not right!" I'd get laughter and a call for the DVD to be watched.

I joined this Meetup group called Random Fitness. We've walked various places, and are going to disc golf, indoor rock-climb, trampoline dodgeball and zipline in the near future. I'm super excited about this.

Cosign, although I'm in the snow belt and I really don't like treadmills, so I've slacked off. I'm just gonna suck it up and go, just to show my face in there.

DO as I say!

That episode was where I went from a Peyton-neutral (hanging offense where I live) to loving his goofy self. I still don't follow football, so yay.

We used to have Po Folks here in Indiana, and when ours closed, we would go to the Louisville one. I will defend Po Folks with my dying breath! Which should be any minute- too much Po Folks.

Mine wasn't anywhere as awful as yours, but it sucked at the time. I was close to a bunch of people that I'd met through this couple. We three were super tight, and when their relationship imploded, a bunch of us took sides, mistakes were made repeatedly, and all of this around Christmastime. By New Years, all of us…

As a grownup that's always lived with her parents (say it with me- LAME!) on the surface, you certainly could say I fit the stereotype except that I get to sleep on the main floor. The reality, as it usually is, is much different. 
(I agree with you.)

I unashamedly flew my freak flag high throughout school (couldn't hide it), and I didn't have a lot of friends that overlapped my interests. Everyone point at the fat black girl that's a super nerd! Honestly, I got picked on for lots of things, but my nerdiness didn't register, because I selectively worked, only doing…

I thought of Bennett too. I personally think everyone needs to be able to get their nerd on about something- and the dudes that obsess over sports, reading all about their team and watching all the replays and carrying on? Nerds, although our society deems this acceptable. Rock on, jocks!

I said the exact same thing to my family the other day. It was the combo of the socialization skills/honing in on interests (or ahem, obsession) that make me kinda go, "yeah, can totally see that".

I freely admit to looking like a shlub- I'm too cheap/lazy to buy a totally new wardrobe, except when I have to (like jeans). So most of my clothes are ranging from 'loose' to 'you can get two people in that shirt'. Of course, I had further to go than you (congrats!) and have further to go still, so at some point, I'm…

I'm kinda in the middle- significant weight lost, but obviously more to go. You helped me out!

Hang in there! I've been on WW for almost a year now, and I've hit 45 pounds lost, but I have a buttload, literally, to go and I'm like, but I like fooooddd. Turns out I do like exercising, but indoor exercise feels like punishment, where I'd rather go for a walk and meander all over.

I saw this in the grocery store on Sunday and me and my sister had a moment of silence for being pissed off at Indiana's draconian liquor laws. I am gonna go get a large horchata from the taqueria around the corner and then this stuff. Happy not-getting-fired to me!

@avclub-ae1846aa63a2c9a5b1d528b1a1d507f7:disqus cosign. We weren't rich by any means (although my sister and I would've told you we were, up until it became unignorable) but our parents loved and wanted us, and are still together, if not happily, at least resignedly. Considering sometimes how much of my life was hell…

Maybe because I was a teenager when DS9 originally aired, and a nutty TNG fan to  boot, but I really loved the Worf/Dax pairing. I thought it was cool that she gave him a sense of fun, something that the aborted Troi/Worf pair never felt like to me. I don't remember why I didn't want Bashir and Dax together, other…

"It is a gorch!"
