"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think maybe it faded more into the background for you. Right after ep 6 was the homecoming game, the game with the racist players, the mud bowl, and of course State. And, it's not just the at the game stuff I would miss. I'd miss the attitude and crap these boys can throw at each other during practice, boys figuring out how to be leaders, girls figuring out how to be strong women in a culture (specifically football obsessed culture) that values them only as adornments to men.

For me if you pull out the football threads, it falls apart into another teen drama, even if it's still a more realistic one.

Art Crawl!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugly Betty: I love how Marc is one of my favorite characters now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

FNL: Additional squeee!

I am so freaking happy about this show. Totally agreeing with Daisy. It has to have the football. Everything is in the cultural context of football.

And it really really needs to not be on Fridays. Because I have football to watch on Fridays.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

GA: What an asshat. I get the overwhelming loss of control that comes with extreme grief. Especially when it's completely out of the blue.

But what an asshat.

What is even happening?

Thanks, P-C.

I would have watched it from the beginning if had been on Fridays, because that's how my brain works.

GA: Ok, was that Burke looking very interested in Callie???

Also, totally called Ava remembering every damn thing a couple of weeks ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

ER: I'm totally confused about how and why the ER is open again. Or, really, why it was closed to begin with.

Because books.

Hil! Thank god. I thought I was the only one still watching this show.

I don't know, either. Some kind of renovation, I guess?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

GA: I think Thatcher has too many lingering issues with doctors and trust. His ex-wife was pretty abusive, the man she cheated with is still at that hospital, his daughter knocks on his door after 20 years and the first he sees of her she's pissed. He's having Ellis flashbacks. And, yes, he's in shock and grieving.

Not that I'm defending him or anything. But, poor Meredith. And Derek has suddenly turned into an unavailable jerk.
