I liked his reasonable approach to dealing with the madness of the elder Gilmores. Also I enjoy that episode where he knows Emily freaking hates him but manages to perform some passive-aggressive jujitsu so Emily has to invite him to dinner.

I didn't like it either but I suppose here in the UK homesick university freshers have the option of just pushing their feelings down and heading out to legally drink large quantities of cheap booze, so maybe I shouldn't judge.

Ah Alias. I think the nadir was definitely the episode where Sydney spent what felt like twenty minutes running away from the mini-helicopter. Although the whole weird zombie juice plotline was fairly dumb as well.

I like that Rory and Lorelai ran into some problems later on though. It's inevitable that at some point a lot of people are going to have what I would call a wobbler about their life choices and although it wasn't appealing to see Rory condescend to Lorelai about how hard university is, it felt true to life.

Yay for the return of both GG reviews and TV Club Classic in general :-)

I didn't read Goosebumps so much but I seem to remember reading some of the Point Horror books by R.L. Stine. The Snowman stuck with me. What a folksy way of trying to kill someone ;-)

Because of all the counts.

I loved watching him on Channel 4's alternative election coverage when Dominic Raab (token Tory guest) didn't want to speculate about how and why May appeared to be doing quite badly which led Mitchell to ask "what did you think we were going to be talking about?!?"

I just tape it and fast forward through those bits. Unless Johnny Vegas is on :-)

Sandi's pretty cool.

I don't care about baking but they'd better leave main Countdown alone. (I love 8 of 10 Cats Does Countdown though).

I still find it interesting that they cast Yvonne Strahovski as Serena, rather than sticking to her age from the book where it seems like she would be in her late 40s/early 50s.

I really want Alexis Bledel to win the guest actress Emmy for The Handmaid's Tale.

The ribs episode was particularly poignant.

I thought I'd seen the full list on a news site and she wasn't on there but I did notice it didn't seem to have any nominations for animated series so maybe it wasn't actually complete. (Please don't call it a complete list, if it isn't, websites!)

I wish Bojack had got some love.

Oh yeah, the news.

I don't think he will flip over to happiness too easily for the simple fact the people writing this seem to know their way around depression.

You are not fucked. Good luck.

The spring fell out of mine.
