I don't like suicide jokes….but I LOVE Hitler-suicide jokes.

Maybe, but that's his decision. If he doesn't want to passively condone Barr's beliefs by consuming media she is part of, that's his right, there's no reason to fight him into it.
I know this is late, but whatever.
I like that if they had to have Roseanne, she was as an annoying person who didn't belong in Portland.

Yep, I've heard that one. I was a stubborn not-quite-16-year-old at the time, though, so hearing that made me turn 90° in the opposite direction and decide that that dude was THE ONE. (When previously I had been hopeful, but cautious.) My mom was actually absolutely right (and possibly really prescient, considering…

The tattoos and the all-man road trips, for example.

I found that particular scene sooooo creepy because I'm terrified of Demerol, but overall, I loved the bickering sisters. They saved this episode for me; since my mom and her sisters don't act like that at all, once they entered the scene I could stop comparing everything to my own life with the sick elderly grandma…

I am so glad to hear they'll be doing Portland Pet Haven this year. Carrie and Fred did an initial sketch of that during the ThunderAnt stage, and it was my favorite one of the ThunderAnt sketches. (Though back then the characters' names were Jaymi and Chrysh.)

Yeah…that's sad, and also…I kind of like Lena Dunham, but she has a very youthful voice. Which is fine, because she's still pretty young. But Simon was supposed to be 47 during the time he spent with Marceline (though his separation from Betty may've come a few years before that)…I don't know. It's not a huge issue.…

Thiiiiiiis is the night, it's a beauuuuuuutiful night, and we call it belllllllllla nocheeeee….

It happened in the episode when Jessa and Thomas John got divorced. She told his parents about her former addiction and rehab stint.

I agree with Todd that Ray and Marnie will inevitably get back together…I'm just not sure HOW. I really hope it's not like last season's finale with Hannah/Adam or Marnie/Charlie, though. They work well together, in a weird way, and from the way Marnie talked about Ray to Elijah at the beach, it seems she's developing …

I like this new trend, and I like that at least one of these people (Hannah's coworker) seems to be a recurring character. I also like the reappearance of Soo Jin, sort of, even though she seems like a highly annoying person. This is the kind of stuff that those of us who were annoyed about Girls' monochromatic…

In addition to this, Michelle Kwan and Frank Carroll ended their coaching relationship just a few months before the 2002 Nationals, meaning that when she qualified for the Olympics that year and, despite some problems, still medaled in Salt Lake City, she was skating coachless. It's not the best thing ever, but it's…

Well, there's no way to tell for sure, because we can't gaze into alternate universes. But she performed better at Nationals than Wagner. And at the 2010 Olympics she placed 4th (far ahead of this year's bronze medalist Carolina Kostner), which was the highest any of the US girls placed this time around. So could…

Sort of. The line is really blurred, because for a few decades now amateur skaters have been endorsing products and appearing in certain skating tour shows. Skaters who do this are required to have whatever these activities are approved by their national skating federations. And they're not allowed to participate…

Heck, I was only 9 during the 1998 Olympics and I got super into figure skating then (partially because my mom's kind of an Olympics nerd). It's a fascinating sport.

I'm guessing your Kinja username is nomadichorde?

Of her amateur career. Professionals don't enter competitions and earn medals, they just do shows, earn money, get endorsements.

I have nothing against Lipnitskaya, I'd just rather she compete a bit longer before getting all the glory. I would really love if Akiko Suzuki, who's nearly 29, moved up a few spots.

She's 5'7, which while not 6'2 is still reeeeeeeeally tall for a ladies figure skater. And the combination of that and her age just makes me REALLY want her to medal.

Gracie Gold won gold at Nationals, she should be there. Ashley Wagner was the 4th-place finisher who performed rather badly but was chosen over bronze-medalist Nagasu, possibly due to endorsement deals.
