Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

I love love Longmire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For those watching, did you catch this exchange at the start?

Wasn't there more after, or was that a different scene with additional references? Good times, at any rate.

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

If there were more references afterwards, and I am a bad person, but watching again would definitely help me on my quest for self-improvement.

Suits is generally good times. Even when I think "Oh NOES!! This is the one where everything blows up!" is still enjoyable as well as tense.

Plus, I might have mentioned, HBIC Gina Torres on fire.

I guess it was all the other stuff referred to here: [link] and not more Princess Bride.

While not yet updated, this tumblr is also fun: [link] It's just so earnest.

Oh, yeah, I haven't encountered a show with more quotage than Suits. That one surprised me because it wasn't a quote. I'm sure I miss a bunch, but they point a few out I'd otherwise not notice, so that's nice.

I do love the one where a list of epic lovers is being written, and Jaime and Cersei Lannister are cut off for too controversial, but Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra make it on. And this is a love letter.

Yeah, in retrospect, the cascade I was (not quite) remembering was the Jerry Maguire bit.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG, this season (and in a way series) finale for Fargo is killing me. There's only two people I want dead at this point and I'm biting fingernails about the rest. Holy shit they did a good job with this series long-ish haul.

Dammit, RIP Keye and Peele, FBI. I hoped you'd make it since you vindicated Molly. Or at least seriously wounded Billy Bob (or at least fucking Lester). Dammit again, I say. Dammit.

Wow, Gus pulled the trigger, a lot. I kinda don't blame him but still, not what you expect the "good" guy to do to someone who is essentially hobbled.

I only really feel bad for the two FBI guys (partly because of the actors, who probably LOVED getting gory death scenes, but mostly because they were so on the verge of being right and without being assholes to the local PD).

Bob Odenkirk turned out to play a way more sympathetic character than I ever envisioned from the early episodes. Kudos. I'm looking forward to his Breaking Bad spinoff, the very idea of which kills me.

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

Chekhov's bear trap! That was gnarly.

and in a way series

How so?

Yeah, I hoped Pepper and Budge would make it, too. But once Lester solved the Fox, Rabbit, Cabbage problem, their dream was over.

Loved Bob Odenkirk's arc. That could have gone very differently.

Gus was pretty much in a nuke him from orbit, it's the only way to be sure situation. Kinda curious how they wrote that up afterwards, but I can see him deciding that was what he needed to do.

Poor car salesman.
