this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Community: we watched Advanced Dungeons and Dragons last night, and -- the show has finally gone past the point of credulity with why they keep Pierce in the group. Seriously. In S1, he had a few little (VERY little) moments of redemption, but in S2 he's been nothing but a bag of shit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Steph, I felt the same way. As I said in my post, I have rarely wanted a character to DIE IN ALL THE FIRES as I do Pierce. I almost feel resentful when the show makes me care about him a little.

Man, I'm trying to think, and I can't think of a character I've disliked this much. Only Rygel comes close, and I even like Rygel from time to time.

Unrelated to character hatred, Theo Huxtable as Shirley's ex made me lose my shit laughing. Not because he was exceptionally funny, but -- Theo Huxtable! I love that they totally acknowledged it with the sweater bit.

Always Anti-fascist!

Tep, wrod on Pierce. Hate him.(and not in that apparently-still-vital to TV comedy "love to hate" way. )There was a whole thing about his dad this season that was a total waste too

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Exactly my reaction. (Aside from hysterical laughter, because for a longstanding D&D geek, that was a great episode.)

Aside from hysterical laughter,

Oh, yeah, that too. God DAMN, it was hilarious.

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

I just watched that tonight. I forgot for a second there that the writers could control the outcome of the die, I think. I was very tense.

Prehensile tail totally beats giant ears, btw.

-t, first -- you are TEARING through those DVDs! Like the wind!

Second, after the tail-vs-giant-ears tag, Tim asked me that question, and my exact answer was "If it's prehensile, tail totally wins."

They are totally eating my life and I love it! I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm all caught up.

::Prehensile tail high-five::
