objectively, "America" was a great performance, but i gotta agree. The theater geek in me couldn't get past them using the movie version, no matter how well done.  (also, having played rosalia in HS, and knowing it's the only singing female role other than maria/anita, i am offended on behalf of whoever got their only…

Seriously, what is with all of the teacher/student 'fobidden love' crap all over TV right now?  So grossed out by all of it.

I don't *not* like him, and i'm willing to see how he develops, but i have to admit - i was a bit put off by the near-constant grin he sported, even when the scene didn't call for it

fully agree regarding the Quinn storyline.  I have come to truly hate her character because of the way the writers have treated her.  She's nothing but selfish, unless she's being hypocritcally self-righteous, and yet as is poitned out, the music is constantly trying to tell me that i should feel sorry for her and…

Yeah, i wondered about the doppelganger too!  The original girl that Katherine and Elena are the doppelgangers of *had* to be around there someplace.  Rebekah kept talking about her 'family' (and klaus and elijah have too) in ways that make me wonder about other siblings.  we only saw one here - who died at the hands…

with the paintings - yes!  either that or the witches who lived in mystic falls before the founders.  we didn't find out what happened to the other witch Ayana (did we?). i could see her being Bonnie's ancestor, and maybe she's responsible for them.

Top Gear, with the Allman Brothers' "Jessica".  Doctor Who.  The Simpsons.  Shows with longevity where the song is half of the nostalgia (but not some radio fad one-hit-wonder, like with Friends)

It's ALL about the implication!

'“Give me light!” If you’re Cassie, and you’re staring at that candle, aren’t you starting with “…Lumos?”'
—i'm pretty sure this is one of those "happy birthday" things, where no one sings it on TV because of trademarks and copyrights, even though it's the real-life choice.  JK Rowling is pretty hardcore about…

I’m really really really tired of every media company thinking that their job is to find an algorithm that will predict what I want to read at a given moment and put it in front of me without me having to look for it. how about you do your job and just worry about producing good content, and I’ll focus on my job –…

are these "facts" coming out of your ass?  none of what you just said is actually true (well, except the teen mom demos - but that's hardly the only thing they show on mtv…)-  "ask anyone in tv or advertising."

actually *neither* A nor B are true…  They aren't harder to reach (please - seriously?) and plenty of market research shows that women make that majority of household purchasing decisions.

I like kurt Sutter and I appreciate the bluntness…  but unless he's saying that he delegates the scenes with Maggie Siff and Katey Sagal - his wife - to female writers, then it's kind of bullshit and more like he's justifying entrenched sexism.

hmm…  if I'd let my brother do my homework i'd have flunked everything.  good thing i was too ugly to outsource.

Word on the kid kits - best tip to ever come out of a YA novel.  The kids i sat for LOVE LOVE LOVED the crap i brought with me - old board games and coloring books and art stuff.

cynthia and brittany daniels…  the one that still acts is one of my favorite recurring characters on It's Always Sunny

kind of lame <br>I mean, if you're going to point out plot holes (which weren't even really plot holes…) you have to fill them with something other than… bigger plot holes.<br><br>Rather than clever parody, it just feels like the "superfans" who created it weren't paying very much attention to detail. Nothing annoys…

The greatest movie of all time is missing
AIRBORNE!

not sasha's best night
I have to fully disagree with the Sasha-shipping in the recap. I love her too, and I was pulling for her in the back half as she emerged so strongly, but I'm not surprised she didn't win based on Wednesday's performances.
