I was happy to see Youth in Revolt on here, purely because I was an extra in some of the high school scenes. (It was during that period when everybody wanted to film in the Detroit area because the MI government was giving big tax credits or whatever.) If I'm honest I thought it was pretty meh, but it becomes better…

@Mytly: Robert isn't as self-centered as Will, but there's definitely a similarity in terms of cluelessness. Both often think they're helping and making things better when they're actually not.
I'm not sure if Robert is going to continue down this road, though; it's mostly something that's happening in this season, and…

I'd heard Petra Haden's a cappella version of The Who Sell Out when I was in high school and went through a huge Who phase, and loved it. I never knew that her arrangement of Don't Stop Believin' was the inspiration for/ripped off by the Glee one. Of course, hers is way better than the one Glee copied.

As I said, it was my mom's comment, not mine. I can sympathize with the part about Cora leaving him, though, even if not to travel far away.

Yeah, he's going down the Will Schuester Road of Unsympathetic, Self-Important Male Leads… (well, okay, he's not quite THAT bad).

My mom said if she were Cora that she would've left him and gone back to America, no ifs, ands or buts about it, after that episode.

I saw the whole season online when it aired in the UK, and when I was watching the premiere here with my family and Dr. Clarkson appeared and they were like "Ugh, he is the worst! Always wrong!" it was VERY difficult to hold my tongue…

They sure choose a weird second clip for their point of "Downton Abbey proves how awesome and generous rich people are!" with having Lord Grantham only begrudgingly letting his daughter marry A Poor.

They were mine as well.

@avclub-d7b683529752a4d24d84c4941861a363:disqus I think it was more that Branson was in the family and he had some sympathy for him, as well as a desire to avoid a scandal. Not that he had any sympathy for his cause. But I haven't seen the episode in a while so maybe I forgot the exact quote.

I hate when I actually root for the Republican, Ayn-Rand-reading character like I did in Hannah's last exchange with Sandy. But I did and I really hope he's coming back.

I'd still like to see the face of autism change a bit more in terms of including more characters who aren't straight, white men. There's a lot of us on the spectrum who are not one or more of those things! Particularly with regard to gender: women tend to get diagnosed a lot less and often much later in life, because…

"YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANYONE HERE EVER AGAIN"

Yeah, I first saw this episode online after it came out in the UK, and I haven't watched it since but even I can remember it was a hot mess.

@MarquisMoon: My mom teaches at a fancy private school in the Baltimore area, and one of her friends there had Ray Lewis's daughter in his class.

That episode made me hate Edith, though, after she finally seemed to be getting more interesting and out of the shadow of her other sisters.

Am I the only Downton Abbey fan who doesn't hate Season 2? I didn't notice this supposed huge drop-off in writing quality, and I think at least 80% of the added drama can be explained by the fact that they're in the middle of WWI and then a flu pandemic. (The other 20% was stuff like the Bates storyline, which I won't…

I'm a Ravens fan currently living in Boston. Should be, um, fun.

Well, luckily, that won't be an issue anymore after this year.

I didn't find it believable at the time, but in retrospect there were a lot of hints that he wasn't quite as good at playing his role and was letting his moral difficulties get to him more than Foxx's character was. For example, when he offers to pay for the guy who tries to escape because he doesn't want to keep…
