I missed getting a glimpse of Juno in this episode. She's adorable. Imaginary, but completely adorable.

Did you notice the photo of La Farmiga wearing the hat (featured in the review) and how much it looks like Cate Blanchett? Or at least I thought so. Just occurred to me those two ladies have a lot in common. Both can wear hats with elan…both can pull off being quirky/crazy and/or hilarious…both can be vulnerable,…

So, Norman thinks having Chick as a friend makes him appear more normal.
Talk about delusional!

In a sane world, it would.
I admire your childhood world view, though. Advanced, to say the least.

Geez, you just made my inner child cry.
Really though, I've read something about that before. I once wrote a term paper about European fairy-tales and their significance in Western culture, so there're some weird bits of trivia still knocking around in my head.
I'm not familiar with the Garrone film, but will check it…

I'll take that recommendation seriously.
Hey, how about a Panda Wesen???
Maybe I'm just still trying to cope with Bao Bao being shipped off to China…and not so well.

Would you believe I've never seen that? But I keep meaning to check it out because of Keith Olbermann's involvement. Is it appropriately snarky?

"Who's the fairest of them all?"

I'm always wishing for extra sleep…that which "knits up the ravelled sleeve of care". There's a theme there.

Absolutely! After all, we princesses are multi-faceted. Besides, I bet, in her spare time and when there was the opportunity, Leia liked cuddly furry critters, too…Chewy notwithstanding.

Agree on all points, especially about Hank. Although I've got to admit, his love-fest with himself (including singing and sexy mirror-gazing) last week almost (a little) made up for some of that (a little).

SEDAGIVE??!!!

"Abby who?"
"Abby normal."

Froidrich!

I think it's cute that Rosalee went through a princess phase as a child (didn't we all?) For me, it was Aurora aka Sleeping Beauty. I might've identified with her because I was blonde and blue-eyed, too…or maybe it was those clothes…or maybe it was her time spent in the forest surrounded by cuddly little woodland…

That's FRONK-n-steen!!!!!!

As a woman, I try to be nice and virtuous, and sometimes sexy (I hope, though not creepily so), but if I ever want to be a steely schemer Stahma Tarr would be my inspiration.

It's funny, though, how much Season 5 grew on me. After a second viewing it suddenly became a strong contender for my second favorite season of the series. You mentioned its bright spots, I think there were so many (both hilarious and poignant) that it worked some kind of magic on me.

Probably?!!
You optimist you.

I'm STILL not completely recuperated from that, and doubt if I ever will be.
If I ever had to make myself cry for some reason, that scene is what I'd watch. Or a combination of that and Fred's death scene. To this day the two together would lay me out flat.
