I look more rad than Lutheranism

We watched "Remedial Chaos Theory" tonight. AWESOME. I was *crying* with laughter at that goddamn troll!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

isn't that just an awesome episode? I will have to rewatch.

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

Troy freaking out might be my single favourite repeatable bit of the show. I'm sure someone's made an edit of just his brain crying, and his flipout when his grandmother beats Britta, etc.

Just watched up through "Advanced Gay." I love the recurrence of Inspector Spacetime. Although I wonder if that would be even funnier if I watched Doctor Who. I mean, I know enough just from pop-culture osmosis, but maybe there's some subtlety I'm missing.

John Goodman is wearing a toupee, right? Or some Hair Club For Men thing? Basically, that ain't his hair, right? Because it sure doesn't look real.

Also, we may have watched "Advanced Chaos Theory" 3 times in the last 24 hours. MAYBE.

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

I think you probably know enough from osmosis to get most of the jokes. You know about Daleks and Companions, right? There you go. Also the Brigadier.

Way to create eighteen different timelines.

Also the Brigadier.

I know about Daleks (including "Exterminate!") (also, I think the trash cans outside my office building are Daleks; I'll have to take a picture) and Companions, but I don't know the Brigadier.

Way to create eighteen different timelines.

Of course I am, P-C.

(Okay, yes, I've watched it too much. I can *hear* Jeff's inflection in my brain.)

I think that was my favourite Raising Hope. That was so sweet, and I do love a pop culture mashup. And the Hope babies continue to be ultimately adorable.

Because books.

The Hope babies are superhumanly adorable. I don't know where they found those twins, but they're the best. And I love that they're acknowledging her growth instead of packing her off daycare and coming back to her when she's in elementary school or whatever.

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

That was delightful. No watching PBS or NBC comedies, heh.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I just caught up on the latest Parks and Rec on TiVO delay and nearly ruptured the spleen from laughing too hard during that ridiculous march to the stage.
