Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Liked the Modest Mouse song they had underscoring scenes at the end, didn't care much for the club scene.

I love Ryan so much. And Kirstin. Not together though, 'cause, eww.

I'm just waiting for when Seth whines about Ryan not punching anyone, Ryan is all, OK, and BAM! Right in Seth's pretty face.

Up with the sun

Thanks, ita. In that case, they did a pretty good job of writing the character off in a way that is plausible and permanent without being irrevocable. More importantly, it dangles the possibility they could move Marissa to Hawaii before too long.

Also, I bought the Modest Mouse CD and basically only liked "Float On" and the song from the end of the episode, "The World at Large."

So I won't have to be scared by the Teeth anymore? Good to know.

RE: the OC

ITA and would add that Jimmy's parenting skills are actually worse than Julie's. I may hate Julie and think she's a wrong headed crackpot, but she at least pretends to be working in the best interest of her daughter.

Also, it was nice to see Marissa as a normal looking teen, even if she was wearing a USC sweatshirt.

WRT Kirstin/Sandy, it occurs to me that they are the only real adults on the show, including their own parents. Yet they aren't perfect. They screw up, they end up sitting in a closet afraid to face the world or drinking like a fish. But still, god forbid anything should happen to them.

Though if this were an ME show, since they are so beloved, they would die tragically. Or move to England to help a coven and in order to force everyone else around them to Grow Up.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I miss having the governor call a state of emergency and sending everyone in Boston home at noon, so I'd be sipping hot chocolate and watching soaps by 1:30.

I wonder how much rain we need for that to happen in LA.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jimmy is a better friend that Julie to Marissa, but they both pretty much suck as parents. Kirsten and Sandy rock the parenting, and hard. Love them.

msbelle, Jimmy's. I'm not sure why. I'm just fine until he smiles really big.
