Yay Robin! DOGGIE!
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it marks the official 'Jump the shark' moment
I've never understood how people can tell when a show jumps the shark as they watch. Is next week really going to be worse than last week? And is it never going to get better? How do you know already?
EXCELLENT, Robin. Dogs rock.

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
Congratulations on the new member of the Family Robin!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay for new doggie, Robin!

I'm betting that when people say that about a current show that they mean this last episode was so bad they don't care what future ones are like - they won't see them to find out. The particular show has offended them/ killed their interest in a character/ changed the meaning of all previous episodes or some such.

Okay, WRT the OC.
You know what would have rocked? If the big moment was actually Seth and Ryan kissing on the boardwalk instead of the two skinny chicks, which I just don't care about.

Open question to Imitrex users:
Is there a rationale behind designing the packaging such that it's difficult to get the pills out of, and not simple to carry one or two around with you? After all, this is a pill you take at onset for maximum effectiveness, yet it feels like a struggle to get each pill unless you decant in advance.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I HATE the packaging, ita. It is new as of this year and it is the most inconvenient thing possible.

I understand the Keanu will be playing John Constantine? I presume he's lip-synching...
No, on a quick google it's worse than that. I don't want to spoil - so I'll simply say they've taken one of the coolest plots in the whole comic book series, and reversed the whole premise in such a way as to as to remove much of the grey in Constantine's character, and lost most of the cleverness in the plot, along with losing the classic folk theme. (I'm betting they thought the plot change was a minor alteration. Er , what you changed was NOT a McGuffin folks.) In short they've turned Constantine into someone Keanu can play...
One film I will not be seeing.
