I started watching the new series after Tennant had already taken over, so at first I felt like I had to "slog through" the Eccleston episodes to get to the good stuff (as the internet would have had me believe) But I really was blown away by Eccleston, and to be honest, Tennant never really impressed me the way that

I can't believe people keep rating Blink above The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances… I just can't believe it. I mean, I liked it and everything, but I don't necessarily think it stands up to a re-watch. Then again, as Tennant's reign went on and on, I also realized that I had really preferred Eccleston in the role so it

Oh Single Ladies. She infers that even the shitty relationship she apparently had could have been fixed with a big fat rock. That's not even a little bit feminist.

I too must have tuned out here. I should know these songs because this was my freshman year of high school. Then again, I went through an anime nerd phase and only listened to horrible manufactured Japanese pop, which I held to be somehow superior than its American equivalent. I can't understand, me ten years ago!

ALSO, Carter Baizen is back next week. CARTER BAIZEN!!

Whoa, we're still live
Well, I had no idea we were still commenting on this thread! I would have been here sooner. I understand discontinuing the recaps. Gossip Girl has ceased to be an "event" every week, even in our house where we still watch it every Monday (because our computer sucks and has a lot of trouble

I love Twitter, but I only follow comedians and comics writers/authors and others I care about and who generally manage to be funny. Also, Peter Serafinowicz's Q+A sessions/joke eggs/whatever are not to be missed. I don't "tweet."

Uh, oops, that Kinky song was called "Presidente." Can't explain why the "Color" part stuck in my mind. Maybe the weird backlit Hollywood Square type set in the video.

I watched a lot of MTV Espanol during high school (2000-2004) and there's still plenty o' music from that time in my iTunes. Especially Moenia, but oh man, I loved that video from Kinky for "Colores." Also: Manu Chao, Panda. It helped that I had some alterna-teen Mexican friends who could turn me on to that stuff - at

I thought IX was terrible the first time I played it, but now I love it. I really like the synthesis system of upgrading weapons, and the weapons/accessories based system of gaining abilities. Also, I really liked the story! I can't believe that it's "not adult enough." My old copy skips in several places, though, and

Guys, I really liked the Grid Sphere in X. I can't believe I am in the minority here, because I have other friends that are "serious" gamers who also liked it. The rest of the game, eh. Also, I really liked VIII for many of the reasons outlined by A Man With Fingers, and I think it rewards replaying.

I was very, very into Chuck and Blair in seasons 1 and 2, but I am about ready for them to break up, because I think that is what it is going to take to put the spark back into their relationship.

As hideous as Serena's weird shrug was
Not one mention of Jenny's weird ass Spider Woman dress?

Electro- is the new indie-, it probably has another 10 years left to go, what will the next trend be, nobody knows.

Mmm
I didn't get into Falling Off Lavender Bridge in a big way, but I only gave it a cursory listen. On the other hand, I quite like this one so far, so it might be time to rediscover the other.

One of my co-workers has my least favorite (and also favorite, in that perverse way one has of liking terrible things) ever anti-abortion sticker, which reads, "How can there be too many babies? That's like saying there are too many flowers."

Truly a song that has been stuck in my head all week.

actually actually actually, ugh, sorry. I'll find some new words next time.

In the book it explains that Eli is actually terrible at going out and getting his own food - he doesn't manage to actually kill three of the four victims that I can think of, and they all wind up half-formed vampires.

There was that dire "F.A.Q.s About Time Travel on the BBC" with the time-traveling bathroom
