I really wish we had had Joe instead of Puck. I liked the Joe/Quinn flirtation.

I can definitely see how one would think that. "You're trying my shoes on for a change/they look so good but fit so strange/out of fashion so I can't complain"

I was not a fan of that. It started off well, but got too repetitive near the end.

The Return of Saturn songs were good—I LOVED "Bathwater."

I'd vote for The Hot Rock as a beginning Sleater-Kinney album. Some of the melodies are lovely, and it's pretty relatable at any age. But Call the Doctor is their most straight-up feminist album.

"Sunday Morning" is by far my favorite No Doubt song.

Well…not so much at my school, in the early 2000s, at least it wasn't something that anyone else ever talked about. But maybe they all were collectively secretly listening to Hole.

Hmm…even when I was a teenager and my parents and I had Issues, I still borrowed music from my dad all the time. I knew he had good taste.

For me it's "Malibu" and "Northern Star."

Eh, I was a huge fan of Nirvana in high school (admittedly, this was a decade after Cobain's death), and I LOVED Courtney. I knew she was messed up, but I was as into Hole as I was Nirvana. The Kurt/Courtney relationship kind of spoke to me, what with all the songs Kurt wrote about it on "In Utero" and the way they…

That's actually super-sensible. I have no interest in procreation or suburban cul-de-sac living, but stability and planning for the future has really been near the forefront of my mind lately.

Lance reminds me a lot of Adam on Girls, but the west coast version.

True. Poor Jerry.

Eh, even though they're both men, the Dean's actions towards Jeff started turning creepy for me in season 3's "Annie's Move" episode. If I remember correctly, that was the first time they seemed threatening.

Yeah, that's how I take it, too. Plus they haven't always shown how great his home life was—there were hints early on, such as with the talk of his retirement plans, but we didn't get to see the Grgich family life until season 5.

I really hope they don't call him anything openly insulting like that. That would make me far too sad.

I know. I feel so bad for that character, and O'Heir plays his scenes in this episode so well. And it IS off-putting. There was a scene in season 4 when Jerry and Donna were both working on some campaign mailing thing, and Donna just seemed truly fascinated at how satisfied Jerry was by that type of work. They had a…

Michael Jordan becoming a minor league baseball player and then being sucked into another dimension via a hole on a golf course to play basketball to help cartoon characters defeat aliens who had sapped other top NBA players of their talent, and thus being drawn back into the NBA life and restoring his colleagues'…

I was more sympathetic after learning that some of them were rebelling, if I remember correctly. After all, humans are kind of shitty, but I didn't want them to be taken over.

Gorilla was Marco's cover for book 5, wolf was Cassie's for 9, I believe, and I think one of them was a polar bear on…25?…but I may be wrong.
