Yah, Finn is shifting faster than Bellamy ever did. They took their time with him, but Finn is spiraling. I suppose this is when conversations turn to "shipping" and I always thought that Finn, while a flawed character prone to occasional self-pitying (and dullness) had an inherent nobility which was honorable.

THANK YOU! WHY WERE THEY JUST STANDING THERE?! Gawking like morons. I know Finn was all bummed and fuming they were wasting time from finding-Clarke!, but GOSH they could have been a little bit more proactive. Didn't it just end up being more work in the long run for everyone involved? And also Sterling ended up…

Unfortunately not terrible enough if you haven't finished Season 2 by now though…

Ugh, I'm crushed I missed the DC tickets. (The "subversive romcom" quote totes got to me ever since first seeing the trailer.) I'm legit on AV Club constantly—what was I DOING at 10:53pm? I'm the worst.

Ahhh gotya—thank you! Your description sounds perfect, but also definitely not worth the time (I saw 3 of the Pirates movies—I'm good.)

I stopped watching this show after the pilot. I just couldn't.
But I am curious about this stellar season finale and heartthrob Captain Hook (mainly the latter, you know.) Then I saw there are three seasons relatively poorly related. Should I invest my spare tv watching time? How heartthrob-y is this Captain? I don't…

Right! It was impossible to avoid—weren't you at least tempted to try? I definitely wouldn't care if you hated it then! They were often the little kid version of people who won't give "Game of Thrones" etc. a chance today.

Meh, fair. I should have been more specific with "for people in my age group", but I already write such messy sentences. Anyways, it seems that everyone is generally considering deal breaker-ers as those among their peers.

Meh, I wouldn't say that Harry Potter is now a major or even minute part of my life now. But, it was a fun encompassing cultural event to be part of at the time. I've moved on, but it still has a very strong nostalgic tie to my childhood.

Hmmm… that's interesting. I wonder if there's something to studios jumping on the next-big-franchise before a children's or young adult book gets to exist as its own entity for a bit. Is this newer phenomenon—or maybe just more evident currently with trilogies history wouldn't even remember? (Divergent comes to mind…)…

Not reading Harry Potter as a kid. It's not a deal breaker, but it does give me so much insight on a person. When I hear they "never read Harry Potter", it's like a moment of epiphany. "Oh, never? I KNEW there was something a bit off about you."
