I am an enormous Check, Please! fan! Everything, from the story to the character work to the art is well-wrought, and terribly charming. Also of note, it's multiplatform: the main character, Eric Bittle, also has a Twitter account, and will tweet about events and even characters not depicted in the main comic. This…

I like to think of them as akin to (certain) vampires. Sure, their primary motivation for hurting others is sustenance, but they take sadistic pleasure in hunting/ toying with their prey. Also, they're assholes, so…

No, I know exactly what you mean: I was nervous they'd back out of the abortion, too, and pleased when they didn't. It is a weird feeling, but I think it's because we've seen the backing out or the miscarriage or the decision to keep it so, so often on TV. It's a cliche. We expect more from this show, and it…

"…switching gears at breakneck speed…" Huh. I see what you did there.

Yay! I love movies that make me question my own sanity. If I could get another "Xanadu" too while we're at it, that'd be great.

Even though it would be poor story construction, this needs to be the tail end of Roxanne "You Don't Have to Put on the Red Light" Ford, Michael, Hot & Dull, and The Artist Formerly Known As Warren Mears. Nice try on all fronts, but it's time to just take the L.

I'm pretty sure you mean "Tom." John is the dog. The unbearably adorable dog.

Okay, I'll say it. WHERE THE HELL IS ROOBBBINNN?!!!

I have decided that Catherine is a cross between Olenna Tyrell and Cookie Lyon. So, yes, how stupid do you have to be to piss that particular hybrid off?

Yeah, he's definitely the reason that 12-year-old me was like, "Oh… So, I'm gay, huh?" So I suppose he's got a lot to atone for.

If you asked Ryan Murphy if he were racist, he would probably say no. And if you asked him if he were talented, he would probably say yes. So…

Joel Schumacher is such a good gay director that he makes movies gay that wouldn't've been gay otherwise.

MARGE: Homer, I don't want guns in this house! Don't you remember when Maggie shot Mr. Burns?

I mean, honestly! It's, like, the best thing! Of all the things!

As someone who was enticed to stop on "The Thin Blue Line" while channel surfing one night by what I recognized as Phillip Glass music, I was *absolutely* listening for DN!'s reasonable facsimile! They did not disappoint.

And now you know… the rest of the story.

Unfortunately, one day you put your theory into practice. It took 75 Best Boy Electrics to bring you down. Now let's never speak of it again.

This was a wonderful, very thoughtful piece… though I take umbrage at that dig at "Dickesode." That episode is unassailably hilarious.

I unironically and unabashedly love that song! The chord progressions and key changes are just post-sex cigarette satisfying to me.

The following from "Clueless": "This is turning out to be a bigger disaster than Malibu," "That was way harsh, Tai," "I'm outie," and "Actually, Kato, that's exactly what it means." I also use the term "Val Party" to describe any event that's more trouble than it's worth.
