i agree with some of your frustrations about the 2nd season, but can we stop harping on things that are a direct result of budgetary constraint?   every week, you complain about stuff like this, even as you admit it's an unfair complaint. Personally, i don't even notice any of that. but even if i did, i STILL…

slight correction - yes, the characters are "starting" highschool, as in, this is their first year at the high school in their town. but that HS starts at 10th grade, instead of 9th like most, so they aren't really 'freshmen' in the sense that most people think.  All 4 are 10th Graders.

My parents used to have a rule when i was growing up, that i was "not allowed to buy new books during the school year." this is because it was well known to them by the time i was about 8 or 9 that if i had a new book to read, i would read it non-stop until the end and blow off any and everything else that i was…

I don't understand the reasoning though.  Bolivia is a portmanteau of Bad and Olivia (as per the writers themselves before the internet weighed in on it).  so…  how is using that less evil-implying than Fauxlivia?  Bolivia just sounds stupid anyway and her character is way too kick-ass for that.  please go back to…

i watched it!  i actually disagree about him being a 'sensitive' guy.  i thought the whole scene made perfect sense, at lthe very least.  the daddy issues line may have been a throwaway, but he was wasn't a nice senstive guy - he was pulling the "deliberate dick" move where you insult a girl and that makes her want…

yeah, i think Cora definitely sees O'Brien as "hers."  it's been more than 20 years and she's still suffering the barbs of the dowager countess and is currently even feeling threatened by Cousin Isobel.  I think that she ulikes having one relationship where it's nether parental, nor territorial - jsut someone loyal to…

seriously, veena sud could give a master class in the bait-and-switch.

i really want to like this show, but this episode almost broke me.  this grade should have been a C- at the highest, more like a D.  i liked the tampon crusade, but that was ony a minor part. Maybe if this had been the second or third episode in the fall, it would have made sense, but i simply cannot suspend my…

i wish i could have three votes for three different reasons…
1. I've had the daria dvd's on near perpetual loop at my house since they came out.  would love to hear the takes on that. 
2. loved rome too (particularly s1), and was just thinking about giving that a rewatch.  perfect excuse to delve back in 
3. haven't…
