Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

I'll just point out that I am not the one who introduced the show, nor am I the obssesive compulsive DVD collector.
