I'm not sure why egg salad strikes me as the nastiest of eggy things...I think it's the subterfuge. Crême brulée is similarly tricksy, but it's prettier. The whole "I'm a salad! Well, not salad salad, but more like tuna salad. You like tuna, don't you? Mmm! Oh, but just imagine the tuna replaced with EGG!" And then I wake up screaming.

eta: eggs in their shells are pretty. They're what you use to make cakes and cookies and pancakes. It's easy to disbelieve in the boiling of them then.

I thought creme brulee (too lazy for the characters) was the same consistency as flan for the longest time. I don't like flan. Then a friend cleared it all up for me and I actually tried creme brulee. Oh, so good. It was an epiphany.

I enjoyed Veronica Mars, although I didn't really care about the big arc thing until the last couple of episodes. I'm mostly there for the dialog and the secondary storylines.

I am enjoying Dr. Who. Lots and lots. I get together with some folks and we make a big social thing of it.

Smonster and Amyth got me hooked on BSG. <shakes tiny fist> But they also lent me the DVDs to get me up to speed, so it's all good. And the big October wait doesn't weigh on me as much since I'm just now up to the Pegasus episodes.

And speaking of Dr. Who, I need to scoot to make the local Whoista gathering.

I am suspicious of flan, because it is most often eggy. But still pretty.

I once had a custard desert, egg free, that looked just like crême brulée--the "brulée" top was actually kiwifruit jelly. It was delicious.

Oh, yeah. Love Dr. Who, but I think of it more as a computer show than a TV show. And the same thing with Spooks. Love.

ETA: Flan is watery/custardy, which I do not like. The kiwi jelly brulee thing sounds yum.

I suspect this year, we didn't need to, as much. That's one of the things I'll be interested in finding out, once I rewatch it in a row. It seems like there were an awful lot of unimportant episodes in the middle--sort of the same pacing problems BtVS had in its last few years, but it was so often pre-empted, I can't decide without a good rewatch.

Next year, he's going to have three blocks of mysteries, rather than one big one. I think I might like that, better.

But the big reveal touched on what felt like every episode. I'm not a big clue-gluer, so I just went "Really? That was supported by all the text?" and waited for the next good character moment.

Just finished Hush. Now I have to go to a communications committee meeting for my church. I still have the feeling that I can't speak that I always get when I watch Hush. This should be interesting.

I can mostly see support for everything that happened in the text. For me, there was just an awful lot that happened in the text that seemed like it was supposed to matter, but then didn't. Some red herrings are necessary, so maybe I over clue-glued. VM was far and away my favorite thing on TV, but I should add the American version of The Office grabbed me so hard, I was surprised. It was the 'shippy aspects that grabbed me hardest, though.
