Yeah, not all double negatives are created equal. They become a problem when the negatives undermine the semantic meaning of the sentence, or when too many of them pile up and make the meaning unclear . The sentence Todd quoted seemed completely unremarkable to me.

Your people skills are improving!

Awesome review, Glaz! You have done this episode proud.
I had just started getting into Community and this was maybe the second or third episode I caught live. "Onoez my new favorite show is screwing me over with a clip show," I said. Something seemed a little off around the Gravity montages, though, and I began to

You don't need my endorsement, I see. But I will throw it in anyway! Twin Peaks is beautiful, sad, funny, mysterious, eerie, frightening, offbeat, clever, engrossing, heartbreaking, unnerving, surprising, surreal, sexy, atmospheric, and GOOD. Really, really GOOD.

We had warmth! It took away our snow!

"Inaugural" as a noun doesn't seem that strange to me. Strictly necessary given "inauguration"? No, but when does English play by the rules of necessary? I'm trying to think of other adjectives that have undergone a similar nounification but I'm coming up short.

I am just recently out of the running thanks to my love for Comparative Religion. I think pretty much all the rest of my choices are even greater appreciated by the people at large, though.

"Feels like -30°F" (-34°C)

Why Thomas Edison?

Seriously, let the people have their soup. YOU DON'T NEED TO EAT IT.

Bart: Maybe a plane exploded? 
Milhouse: Our prayers have been answered!

You know what completely, and I mean completely saps humor and pathos and good characterization and plotting from a show? Minor logical inconsistencies. Good for you for telling it like it is, Don del Grande. Good. For. You.

Do you suppose he gets to listen to this in bed, too?

…and actually, the vast majority of shows I start watching are usually several seasons in progress or already over.

I have never come close to managing this. I don't know if I ever will either since I usually don't check out pilots until everyone up to and including Jesus is recommending it.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME
