People have really short memories? Nolan's money is definitely much newer than the Graysons', plus they're much more refined than he is.

I think Fauxmanda getting shot is the most likely outcome. It wouldn't be obvious (Daniel) or pointless (Tyler). There would be serious consequences for Emily's plan, without killing any of the show's more likeable characters.

I don't think the slasher can be Katherine, since she knows about Alaric's ring, and would've had the sense to take it off if she really wanted to kill him.

It's definitely that song playing.

Definitely not just you. I started jumping up and down yelling, "YAY ELIJAH! YAY DAMON! YAY ELIJAH!"

Well, she's pretty obviously mentally unstable—I don't think she's thinking that far ahead. And I think our Amanda sees that as a convenient way to get rid of her.

I think the point is that it doesn't. So that she will be so convincing that when the fact that she is supposedly Amanda Clarke comes around to bite her in the ass, no one will believe her if she tries to tell them she's not. But I could be wrong.

The whole buying Zach a car thing was hilariously awesome problem solving, but not very good parenting. Buying your kid a car to get back at his grandmother…maybe not sending the best message. Just saying.

I think the problem with these books is that at that age, you really don't understand how destructive that type of behavior is (at least, I didn't). And teenage girls don't need any extra reasons to believe it's all right for people to treat them badly.

I was also REALLY unclear why Ashley suddenly decided she hated Emily. Because Emily said that she thought Ashley wanted to work for Victoria? That's spectacularly idiotic.

Yeah, I mean, it's not necessarily terribly brilliant (though in weird way I think it makes sense for who Buffy is and how she relates to people). It was less that Giles was fundamentally wrong, and more that it was so inconsistent with the way they treat all the other occasionally evil characters. Remember when…

I tend to agree. I'm a season 7 apologist, but the weird tendency of the characters to be unbelievably judgmental always drives me a little crazy (see also: everyone except Buffy hating Spike's guts for the entire season, when after Angel got his soul back they spent like two episodes being all "He's EVIL," and then…

Yeah, after the second half of last season, I really can't get behind Chuck and Blair anymore. The whole physical violence bit was really not OK. And then all the scary fangirls were like "OMG he just loves her SO MUCH." Which, you know, totally makes it all right to throw her around. Yes.

That was my problem with the whole pregnancy cliffhanger. There was just NO WAY Serena could've been pregnant. Plus, with the whole Chuck thing, it pretty obviously had to be Blair.

The whole Evil Cordelia thing pretty much ruined this whole season for me. It was just weird and creepy and made barely any sense.

Those are actually my three favorite shows right now. But people always look at me funny when I tell them that. There's a lot of "No really, it's awesome and not just True Blood for teenagers/the X-Files take 2/for your mom. Promise!"

I also had relatively strict parents, and so saw my first R-rated movie at a sleepover. It was Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was really kind of scarring as a 12 year old. The Time Warp still gives me the shudders every time I hear it.

I really like this episode, largely because of that fight scene. Well, that and the scene where Anya tries to spy on Spike.

Bryan Cranston isn't eligible this year because of the way Breaking Bad was scheduled. So there's actually a pretty good chance Jon Hamm will win.
