Oh, great. I love it when they make shit worse. SIIIIIIIIIGH.

Likewise! Don't leave the AV Club. I know the internet is full of assholes, but it's also full of like-minded people. (I have no clue what this kinja thing is that everyone keeps talking about, so maybe I'll change my mind whenever that happens.)

I completely agree with you about the second season—such an awesome character arc. I love that it was your yearbook quote. It's perfect. Now I want to rewatch Buffy and Angel (for the millionth time). This is always a good thing.

I did, and I loved it, though not nearly as much as I loved Buffy. One line from Angel has stuck with me and I think about it almost daily: If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. It's my favorite line from the whole show.

Buffy made me a better, braver, and stronger person. It made me confront good and bad things about myself, and view myself in a more honest way, no matter how painful that might be. I wish I had Buffy when I was in high school; it really would have made those years a lot less painful. Even though I'm old (I had…

I can't explain all the ways that Buffy helped me through multiple rough patches in my life. That show is like therapy for me, and always will be. It helped me through periods of deep depression and helped me to understand myself and other people better. I will always love Joss Whedon and everyone who was a part of…

Plus, the first Council wasn't a bunch of white males. They were African, like the first Slayer. And the whole seventh season was about throwing their forcibly enforced rules out the window to empower all women. He definitely has issues with race and with women, and I don't think he, or most people—male or female—are…

I thought I read a bunch of comments where people didn't like the Nadine scene, but when I read more comments after I posted it seemed like THAT was the minority opinion (and rightfully so!).

I had my eyes closed because Steven grosses me out so much! That weird facial hair…and all his snot. *shudder* I really hope he's dead, lol.

I'm not sure if it's Lynch's humor or Frost's humor, but whoever's humor it is it just kills me every single time.

I haven't had a chance to read all the comments (I suck, I know), but from what I did read, it seems like I'm in the minority in loving the opening scene with Nadine and Ed. I thought it was beautiful and deeply moving, and also a wonderful payoff to Dr. Jacoby's storyline. I've seen his golden shovel bit as a sincere…

I was sobbing, AGAIN, after pretty much sobbing through the whole episode. Such a small scene, and yet I felt it so deeply. It encapsulates what I love most about Lynch—he knows how to draw out our emotions as viewers without having to explain anything. His work is so amazing. I think part of the sobbing was coming…

I feel terrible about how hard I laughed at this.

He looks like the woodsman who squished Bill Hastings's brain.

Really? That's terrible news. :(

Thanks! He's always been a psychiatrist with unorthodox methods. I kind of see his show as an extension of that. (And I love it.)

Never mind that pretty much every woman who has worked with him loves him, and that love seems more like a love towards a father figure than it does to a lecherous sexual harasser.

Welcome to my world, friend! *thumbs up emoji*

I guess I don't really understand how the whole BOB thing works. How many of them can there be at one time?

Join the club. but at least we have this awesome, surreal exploration of what it means to age to experience together while slathering Ben Gay all over ourselves.
