@brentbent)dense as a neutron star and bright as a super nova(: That's been my experience from reading Deadline. Now that Michael Ausiello writes for them as well they've got an inside line on movies and television.

@Ed Grabianowski: Why do writers get all the money and rule the world? Those publishers and studio execs just have to cower in front of you guys.

@Gonne: What about shows that do stuff and go places? They have writing staffs as well.

@James Felty: Ah ha ha, the French. They must suck or something.

Note that these are all adverbs, with the exception of 'nice,' which can be used as an adverb. Adverbs are what happen when you aren't confident that you've picked the correct verb and you feel the need to prop up a sentence.

This show is like a big sponge designed to mop up all the random terrible science fictiony ideas left over from Lost and Heroes.

@anthonym: It struck me that Shane was just over the edge and had convinced himself that killing Rick would remove a dangerous element and clear the way back to Lori - even though there's no way that Lori would ever let him near her again.

@ladypeyton: I forgot Nikita. It's kind of a bad show but I keep coming back, week after week.

@hdgotham (Hannah Wilson): I hope you didn't type that reply in front of children.

@ginnymcqueen: Probably a midichlorian deficiency.

Aside from the massive deviation at the end, this episode reminded me more of the characters from the comic than at any point since the pilot. As usual, they oversold the drama with some overcooked dialogue ("We're terrified"), but the moment when Shane lowers his gun and turns to see Dale staring at him - that felt…

The closest things I've seen to Buffy over the last decade are Middleman and Veronica Mars. On the topic of sidekicks that turn out to be so much more than sidekicks, I submit the last five seasons of Doctor Who - particularly Donna.

That Twilight teaser image is bursting with eroticism. I can't wait to see the upper arm. Do you think there will be more feathers? If the upper arm is lightly covered in feathers - evidence of ferocious supernatural coupling - I swear I'm gonna lose it.

@AgentCoop: Present day = jokes about Twitter.

@Pope John Peeps II: Let's see now...

@Hanchen Lu: Tie Guan Ying is excellent tea. Certainly the best oolong I've ever had.

Look, people, it's harder than you think to get convincing CGI sweat stains. Not to mention that crazy cellophane S.

I gave up on this show after episode four or five, but it sounds like it's become so tremendously bad in the interim that it might be worth watching again.

@ShanaLD: A turducken of mystery.

@Roklimber: Isobel is a perfectly cromulent spelling.
