To quote Daria herself, "You're not really going to take that woman seriously, are you? She earns her living making people feel bad about their looks."

Yeah, but the pools are filled with electric seaweed.

Thank you! Everyone hates on The Water Temple, and it's not great, but at least it's not a seemingly endless escort mission where you have to carry that freaking albatross of a fish princess everywhere with you.

That's reassuring. Feels like we'd be hitting Katie Vick levels otherwise.

Wait wait wait wait wait, are there legitimate incest undertones in a McMahon family segment? Didn't Steph talk about how she shot those down in a DVD release or something?

Animal Annie = Brian Fellow + Debbie Downer

As an aside, I would be really intrigued to see an adaptation of Grapes of Wrath set in Namibia.

PITT THE ELDER!

Meh, neither of them can hold a candle to Pitt the Elder.

I've found that this webcomic is a great encapsulation of that idea, and I try to keep it in mind whenever I'm reading/hearing a debate: http://www.smbc-comics.com/…

No worries. Community certainly had a devoted fanbase, and as the article points out, that comes with pluses and minuses. But I appreciated what Harmon & Co. did in Seasons 5 and 6, and I'm glad that we got to spend a little more time at Greendale.

I get it. If it helps, I've occasionally thought of Vince as something of a less-cuddly version of Mr. Fishoeder. He's not so much vindictive as he is insulated by his wealth and position within his own little ecosystem to the point that regular human logic is little more than a strange abstraction and/or curiosity to

I too hate it when people who enjoy a show want it to stay on the air.

I don't know, they got some traction with that early "Winnie the Shoe" sketch.

If anything, it feels like she's regressed from her much more earnest work with No Doubt.

Say what you will about how it was handled, but Austin got the biggest pop of the night. It was pretty predictable, with it being Texas and all, but it was still crazy in there when his music hit.

+1 for the Ryder support

Taker-Shane started slow, and there was a lot of lying around while nothing much happened, but the crowd was pretty into it by the end.

That's a legitimate take, but the catch is that Wrestlemania has historically been, and really ought to be, the season finale (and to a lesser extent, the new season premiere) of WWE. Sure, that's not a hard and fast rule, and plenty of feuds have continued past it, but the idea of Y2J's win being simply a stepping

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. (Accents clearly weren't David Boreanaz's strong suit.) But adapting or not, he only very rarely read as an old man in a young man's body, and that's probably a necessary concession for a WB drama, but to Willy's point, it also feels like a missed opportunity.
