Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

On the other hand--I'm interested in seeing Malcolm McDowell on the show. I just want him NOW.

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

I concur.

As do I. On both counts.

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

30 Rock last night cracked my entire shit up. I nearly lost my mind laughing and laughing. The Staples sequence set me back.

It is possible that Liz Lemon and I share a love of office products which made this even funnier.

I was doubtful about that storyline, but the office supplies twist was hilarious. Esp. "What do you think this is, Office Max?"

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

Right? OMG I am laughing again.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

For some reason I really like it when Liz gets sexually aggressive and Criss is kind of frightened.

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

Yes!

Okay, I need to do a re-watch of that episode because Matt started me off again.

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

Parks and Rec killed me tonight. I did enjoy The Office, but then I realized that I laughed more in the first couple minutes of Parks and Rec than I did the entire episode of The Office.

That which does not kill you should RUN
