Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Refrigerated Dove chocolates and ginger-ale:

Note: I do like the Inside quite a bit though and plan to keep watching - I'm just not entirely there yet. In one way I am like the author of the piece - I trust Tim to bring it, so I'm in it for the long haul.

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

To be fair, you'd have to be a hardcore fan to get the shoutouts. Most people watching the show have no idea who I am, so that's not so big, you sort of had to know the Wolfram thing was coming to notice it, the cat named Angel, well, you have to be a fan of Angel and know that Tim worked on Angel to even get it.

Harmony = Melody was a huge reach.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.

I bow to the superior wisdom of Polter-Cow and other VM posters in this thread, and to the quality recapping of Couch Baron at TWoP.

Watched the first 3 Veronica Mars episodes tonight (using voodoo magic, not the Internets, I swear) and I'm 100% on-board. That pilot was a great introduction to a complicatedly interesting premise, and the others kept the quality coming. Even having read the recaps of these episodes (I had to catch up for ep 11 tomorrow in reruns) and thus knowing the plot twists in advance, I enjoyed them immensely.

Rah rah! VM is great! I'm an idiot for not listening to the forty-seven thousand people who told me that earlier!

That'll teach me to half-watch half of an episode from halfway through the season.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The blue gloves amused me.

Mostly because we did a photo shoot with paramedics (pseudomedics? I don't know, they looked real enough) at work and one of the photos they wanted retouched was wanting bluer gloves.

So I smiled privately at the hands of blue. Even if it wasn't intentional.

I think they are nice for the fans and transparent to anyone else. No harm done.

Holy crap, it's 1:46 AM here? VM was even more engrossing than I thought.

Aaaaand I'm starting ep 4 rather than go to bed.

I may have to seize the cat.

Of course, your beagle may vary.

My family's beagle is adorable but SO VIOLENT. It's sad, I think she's cuter when she's sick. But I've always liked children better when they're sleeping, and felt that way about my cat, too. Maybe that's why he ran away.

The BF says his problem with Wonderfalls was that Jaye was too unlikeable but I liked her a lot - but then I am frequently a snarky bitch as well.

This was true of my boyf and myself as well. He thought Jaye was mean, I thought she was funny. I saw the inner marshmallow, I think, and he didn't.

Most people watching the show have no idea who I am

I have to say, I found that shout-out VERY exciting and cool.

Aaaand... episode 5. Boy, this voodoo magic sure is handy for catching up on good TV shows.

Who the hell is it that Kristen Bell reminds me of? I can't figure it out.

edited to spell her name right

Come to think of it, I think she reminds me of SMG. At least with certain haircuts. That seems a little sad that I couldn't place it.
