Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

I am considerably underwhelmed at the prospect of Pam having any sort of change of heart, so I hope it's a selfish epiphany.

Art Crawl!!!

I love the Pam flashbacks.

Looks like the Fae are back in town too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Like, getting maternal? I hadn't thought of that. Surely not.

Eta: Oh, yeah, the guy with 16 sisters who smells so good! That and Lafayette's little vision+bleach episode have me interested, as well.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I really enjoyed the TB season opener, kind of enjoyed ep 2, and was bored silly by ep 3.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Haha - Vulture has gone ahead and empirically proven just how Sorkin-y The Newsroom is:

Spoilery for lines & characters, nsm plot points.

Always Anti-fascist!

Can I like something, and not think the thing is very fresh, at the same time? Because that's the Newsroom pilot to me...wide-eyed intern, check, sorkin avatar, check, Hero Boss, I still liked it. But one time, I'd like him to shock me...they should make him write for True Blood for a week...I doubt there is any one in Bon Temps LOuisiana even Sorkin can make Sorkin.

I thought Pam might be worried about Eric's reaction if she doesn't treat her offspring well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sorkinisms supercut: [link]

Yes, this is how I feel about Bunheads and the Dallas reboot.

Always Anti-fascist!

I coined a new word for all of them: show-stalgia. It's fun, but there's no HSQ in it. (Any entertainer knows it's not a compliment at this point, to be "The Leno of..."right? That you're a back-stabber at worst, and at best, a hack hanging on past his sell-by date. That was one note in the pilot that didn't sound right, I mean, given that he's Super-Writer Aaron Sorkin, and I'm a nobody sweating her butt off in the desert.) I'm just saying. I'm not cool, and I know that.
