    That explains a lot. The start and end of that season never really connected.

    We haven't seen any humans from our world in Purgatory…only people from The Magic Forest. Anyway, Tamara wasn't a Disney character so they don't care.

    Yeah, I know. However, I find in the past I've gotton slammed in the past because people confuse a statement "The General Public believes/supports X" with "I believe/support X", so I feel the need to prophylactically distance myself.

    Adam was kidnapped at 11 10 years ago…So presumably around 21.

    Not ALL foster homes suck. Unfortunately, good foster parents can only take in so many kids, and often burn out. Ben would have been replaced years ago.

    Yes, of course. Unfortunately, I think gays still in the "exotic" or "other" category. We're barely out of the "Minstrel Show" stage. Don't shoot the messenger. At least it wasn't the central core of the character, but a detail thrown in as color and a "shout out" of solidarity

    You are misinformed.

    I agree…the twist was cool when it happened but I kind of would have preffered the long term implications if they played it straight.

    It only sort of works because of people believing what they want to believe. I am a little troubled by the lack of interest in getting information to catch the kidnapper.

    Yes. There is a reason cops have partners. One could sort of excuse it with stereotyping…lots of people assume the young pretty pregnant women is harmless.

    I think it was just a throw-away, and attempt to simultaneously be trendy and give us a hint that this is a real person with his own story. The problem with these shows is they have to give you a sense that these are real people for us to care when they have something horrible happen to them. Otherwise it's not a

    Long running series are often about becoming but the character never actually becomes. English Lit classes tell aspiring writers to write stories about character development and coming of age, but few writers have a clue who their character would be post epiphany and the economics of the industry makes long running

    There are also a few self destructive "George Costanza" types who are blatantly mocked and pathetic, and get their comeuppance in a kind of morality tale. I really think Senfeld is the best analogy for Girls. The difference is, people seem to attribute a lot of political/cultural significance to Girls…and every so

    ↑ This. It's like that pretentious book your English teacher is waaay too enthusiastic about, and keeps telling you is Great Literature.

    Hannah Horvath is a caricature of what older blue collar conservatives think of the "Hippy Left". She's a narcissistic and self absorbed parasite. She's the perfect mirror image of Archie Bunker. It's also not always clear to the general public whether the author is aware of how vile she is or not. I think the

    Villains that turn good always get downgraded in power, for some reason.

    Maybe the Time Masters were founded by Future Vandal Savage?

    Reading between the lines, I suspect he is one of those people who has become his career, and will have trouble functioning without it. He's said he never takes vacations. I also suspect Seinfeld is having some trouble with the fact that while he is rich he is no longer as famous and is no longer a subject of daily

    I actually used to *like* Leno, and I like "Headlines". I never liked his mean spirited "Fat American" jokes, and at this point I'm sort of bored with him. I *loved* Conan, and was disappointed to see him go. Unfortunately, he's now up against John Stewart. (A terrible time slot decision…I suspect they have
