Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, and also pretty much nowhere in North Carolina unless you work for a bank. The attractive places in the region are the Triangle, the Triad, Asheville, and Wilmington. Charlotte doesn't even rate.

Auburn is in Alabama, not NC, and the state religion in NC is college basketball, not college football. People's minds were so blown with the local teams this season that my uncle says that Duke's stadium was half-empty for most of their winning games.

Is it a stunt or an OMG real moment?

I don't watch this show. Is it any good?

God's Chosen Leader Kim Jong Il?

Man, those quotes from the show are just death. She wants to do good on her SATs, but good is not an adverb! Don't go downtown tonight, it's a laugh riot!

Here's how I read Dynarski's performance: it would have worked if the monster had earned it. The monster was so often shown and so non-terrifying in appearance that it undercut Dynarski performing as an insane man who absolutely knows he's doomed.

What I found frustrating about Scully in "The Beginning" is how her lines in the episode require her to distrust Mulder completely after he just recently saved her life. In other situations, she's pushed him to describe fully the glimpses he's seen or the muddy memories of his childhood, and because he can't, she's…

Right, any more arbitrary rules you want to add in order to defend the tired and overused? Maybe it has to start with 'e' and contain the English name of a Greek letter?
