:) Thanks!

I'm curious how Caroline feels about her namesake on The Vampire Diaries. She starts out somewhat similar to Caroline in P&P—hostile, vapid, self-obsessed—but she becomes one of the most awesome vampires on the show, if not in pop culture in general.

That makes much more sense than a reference to "Kim Kelly Is My Friend," which is what I thought at first—Mindy is a stealth Freaks & Geeks fan?!

I just watched the second episode last night, and I was rolling my eyes at the scene where the grad student asked them to put on gloves and was all "you're going to think I'm crazy…he's a bit of a stickler for the rules." I'm pretty sure most people understand that's standard practice when dealing with any ancient…

Yeah, I'm always on the lookout for perfectly pleasant TV sprinkled in with the more adventurous stuff. This show reminds me of watching Early Edition when I was a kid, and I love that.

You know what really bothers me about that episode, is that when we find out Lily "broke up" Ted and Robin, all she did was point out some major relationship issues that they would have had to address at some point anyway. She might have forced it to happen sooner, and she did it with the intention of breaking them…

The turning point for me was when Ted told Lily that Victoria wanted him to stop being Robin's friend, and she told him he might just have to do that to be happy. WTF LILY? That was SUCH a betrayal of Robin, and it was never addressed afterward because Robin never found out about it. Yet that's from the same person…

That was a plan by Bishop to catch the "snitch" at Florrick Agos, which turned out to actually be the NSA tapping their phones. He had boxes of pancake mix in his trunk, not drugs, so it was nothing illegal. But I wouldn't be surprised if Cary did actually say something. Maybe he made an offhand comment that he…

I liked it! When I saw it in theaters, I could see its flaws, but I enjoyed how the moments that a typical romantic comedy would turn into dramatic fights always sizzled out as Reese Witherspoon reasoned herself into accepting Owen Wilson's behavior. Kind of seemed like a subtle commentary on how women in romantic…

True; I was thinking of "me"—it should really be "stronger than I," as in "stronger than I am." Though I was partly being facetious, because "me" is common usage, and I don't generally hold with being that nitpicky, especially in song lyrics. It just seems particularly egregious when the lyric is already terrible.

And on top of being cringe-worthy, it's grammatically incorrect! Double whammy.

Saw Boyhood on Saturday. I enjoyed it. It was a strange experience for me because my childhood was about ten years removed from his, so I kept thinking it was the early nineties in the beginning, then something would pop up like Harry Potter or Britney Spears or his sister telling her friend to email her, all of which…

After seeing Snowpiercer last Wednesday, I couldn't stop thinking about it. The movie was hard to watch at times, but Tilda Swinton was amazing and hilarious, and Chris Evans and Jamie Bell were both really spectacular at selling the desperation and bravado of heroes in what seemed from the beginning to be a pretty…

To me, Fig's line about reducing the number of inmates in the system through politics read as a cynical, half-tossed off idea that she just spouts to justify her own actions to herself. Nothing in her actions while at the prison suggests that she actually cares about the inmates.

Yes, I actually thought for a second "Sarah sounded like Rachel there—Maslany's slipping, but I guess they ARE both British." It's fantastic that she didn't sound so much like Rachel that she gave it away, but enough to hint at it. OH and in the previous scene when Rachel was trying on the hoodie, I thought she was…

"Enough with the virgin-shaming Cosima" Yes, thank you! I love Cosima but the writers are giving her a weird casually vicious streak when it comes to Scott/nerdy guys in general. It came up last week when she imperiously dismissed the guys from the lab (which Scott now shares) so she could get baked with Delphine.…

Man, if only Rachel had been focused on Helena instead of Sarah, she could adopt all those newly-orphaned Prolethean kids!
