These systems are in standby mode and presumably access the internet in the middle of the night. I don't understand why they can't run updates without my being there. It would be much more appreciated if they went ahead without me.

I grew up playing Mega Man 3 over and over again. Of course, being young, I used the hell out of the super jump and invincibility tricks. I made up for it by playing through the game legitimately on the Mega Man Anniversary Collection as an adult.

I have a feeling that is definitely not going to happen. The show is definitely angling for Sookie and Bill, especially with her statement that you never forget your first love.

The flashbacks are part of a long game that is only somewhat coming together right now. Bill was a Yankee sympathizer in the old South who was trying to get slaves to freedom. Meanwhile, Eric previously had a flashback that linked Fangtasia to the Underground Railroad. I'm not sure how that will link into a cure for…

It's weird, but it's technically not nudity without the nipple. Just as AMC could get away with a stripper going down to her tassels in season one of Mad Men without too much problem (also due to the fact that it's still at cable station instead of broadcast), HBO could darken the nipples so as not to breach the no…

I liked this episode a lot. Donna, your high marks tend to correspond with episodes that are high on Barney and Robin. I think you're a self-admitted shipper of the two, but do you think you find the show less appealing when there isn't a lot of focus on them?

I appreciate that I have a clearer picture of how my opinion differs from Mr. Sims'. Two fo my favorite sketches this season were "What My Girl Says" and the H&M Rap. I actually returned to those sketches immediately after finishing their respective episodes.

I was really hoping for an episode in which Kyle snaps. When Cartman threatened to reveal the ruse, I fully expected Kyle to beat the hell out of him and lock in the basement. Instead, we had another obnoxious Cartman episode with little twist on the formula.

I liked this episode. The hug from Loretta at the end was very touching. But what threw me off was Loretta's saying that Barney always wanted kids. I'm having trouble with that because I'm not sure I can believe a serial womanizer who abhorred marriage or the idea of being with one woman would want kids. At the same…

I was really hoping for a sequel with the Burton cast at their current ages. Granted, no Gomez, but how fun would an adult Wednesday be?

I'm still not convinced he actually broke up with his girlfriend, but that's just because I don't trust most of the things the guy says.

Except that she sent one of those surrogate children into lockdown and said someone else would tuck her in. She's willing to hack off any part that's not doing well, even if it's a child.

Not that it makes up for her behavior, but I think Lily's frustration can be traced back to last season where I believe they had a discussion about her not really pursuing her dreams beyond the art school thing. This was the one big move they would be making for her, and now Marshall is reneging on it.

I wasn't worried at all. Honestly, this was the only series of theirs for which I honestly wanted a spin-off. I'd love to follow Pete Campbell through the 80's. Who wouldn't?

Which half? Left or right?

There is no stream, there is only me.

See below.

I think you're reading a little to into the question. I never actually accused you of not liking the show, just as you never said you did not like the show. I just wanted to know what makes you come back to it, since it sounded like you were saying you didn't like the characters.

So why do you watch the show?

Just to clarify, I'm not thinking it's simply a creative writing episode but rather an entire half season devoted to her exploring this crazy path with Collin. Again, I'm sure I'm wrong, but I just can't shake this belief.
