You are SO not alone. Beware, though — the celery stalks at midnight!

Of those shows, I've only watched some of season 1 of Lost Girl and Vampire Diaries (and have enjoyed both to varying degrees). I've heard excellent things about The Good Wife. Augh. So many good shows, so little time...

I like the way you think. :) I do enjoy the show quite a lot already, but my growing dislike of Fitz (and, to a much lesser extent, Olivia) has dampened that recently. Thanks so much for the insight, I'll definitely be keeping it in mind.

I really like that analysis, especially since I've had a harder and harder time sympathizing with Olivia lately. The main problem, I think, is that she does all these things while still claiming to be the good guy. Cyrus makes no bones about his nature (except when hiding it suits him), and I like him a lot more.

A Scandal post! Huzzah and thank you. <3 That is all.

Quinn and Huck are wonderful! I love them to pieces.

So, I'm right on board with you on the Fitz hate. I can't STAND him. I really do love many of the other characters, though (David and Abby are my current favorites, with Huck and Harrison right behind).

I'm betting Cocaine vs Grunge, with Cocaine sweeping the whole thing.

Man, good topic, seriously. Maybe I will revisit once I'm caffeinated.

It did, that was last night's episode.

Is it just me, or is that commercial completely awful and constantly everywhere?

I want to hug all of you for being awesome. <3

I could argue that Cristina Yang's abortion wasn't punished in Grey's Anatomy. It caused relationship tension/problems between her and Owen, but that's not punishment in a soap opera; relationship tension is the baseline expectation, and they were adults who disagreed on something huge and important*. I especially…

Crystal Pepsi got thrown right under the bus!

At first I thought that was the joke... then I read the next sentence and grew sad, because it definitely is not the /intended/ joke.

I read it as a fun way to make gay the "normative" group, by swapping the script. But it is /definitely/ possible I'm reading too much into it.

I feel this strange kinship with you... <3

Once upon a time, I brought only one bag with me. Then I got stuck when the steamdog pooped twice way out in some strange neighborhood I'd never walked him to before. Great day for an adventure!

I can't even imagine how enraged I'd be if they were doing it on my actual property, instead of shared apartment property. Blugh.
