Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Though there is no excuse for missing your friend's wedding, dudes.

Well, there are some excuses. Many things bothered me about the ep, but this was one of the smallest.

I find I'm enjoying the show now just as much through Buffistas' reactions and recaps as I did actually putting in the 42 minutes to watch the episodes.

This is a good point. GA is not appointment tv for me anymore, but I have watched the eps I was home for. Still, I think I enjoy watching through b.org perhaps even better than actually watching the eps themselves. I didn't think of that until you wrote it, Zenkitty.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

yeah, but who else could it be? David? Probably some contractual thing, the actor wanted to leave.

[casting spoiler] No, he's still around next season. It's less certain if Diane Farr is staying, though.

Many things bothered me about the ep, but this was one of the smallest.

Indeed, but when you've already suited up--and in Alex's case, are actually in the church, I find it pretty inexcusable.

So I just rewatched seasons 1-5 of the Jared Padalecki clips from GG, and *man* was the show different in the beginning. It's amazing how much more mature it became, more adult it became, as Rory grew up. Which is probably the point, but the difference is pretty astonishing when you mainline five seasons in three hours.

Also, Jared went from a cutie with a head that was way too big for his body to smokin' hot in the space of a summer between seasons three and four. Sweet weeping Zeus, I'm skewed to think he's hot anyway 'cause I grew up watching GG and because of SPN but damnation was that tall, tall, tall boy fine as hell when he was 19. Lord.

And he can do a fine loom over tiny little Milo Ventrimiglia, or however you spell his name. It's a good thing Zach Quinto and hot-dude-what-plays-Mohinder aren't super-tall, because Milo looks *scrawny* compared to Padawhatsis.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Is 6'4 not considered super-tall? Maybe it's just because I'm 5'1 and everything is super-tall to me.

Hey, SA, you might want to whitefont. I'd call that a casting spoiler.

oh, on CSI, when did Grissom and Sara get together? I remember an ep when they were in his house, and she was in the bedroom while he worked at a desk. I meant to ask earlier, but I forgot.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

because Milo looks *scrawny* compared to Padawhatsis.

I was going to say. Aside from the fact that he's taller than 3/4 of your average offensive line, he's also the kind of longbones that makes him look taller and awkwarder than he actually is. He might look normal-sized when standing next to Kareen Abdul Jabbar.

I think it was the season finale last year.

Anyone watching Desperate Housewives?

I think the season finale where Brass was shot and almost died was the first time they got together. Grissom was in a robe, talking about how he wanted to die, and that he'd like to be diagnosed with cancer so he had time to put his affairs in order. Then Sara walks into frame also wearing a robe and says, "I'm not ready to go."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I seem to recall someone involved in the production said that we were to understand that it wasn't new just then.

Yeah, it definitely felt like it had been going on for a while.
