Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'm so glad Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Don't know if everyone's seen this.

Sad, but totally understandable.

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

I had not seen that. I will miss her a lot, but that totally makes sense.

I didn't really like the Selfie pilot, but I like Karen Gillan and John Cho and the premise could be interesting (or could go terribly terribly wrong) so I think I will give it another watch if my DVR isn't too full next week. No season pass yet, though.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

I thought it was cute, too.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I didn't hate it, but I also know that I would not have even considered watching it if Karen Gillian hadn't been the star.

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

I showed for Cho (his neck looks great!), and really hope it irons itself out. I'm currently in the phase where I want anvils to fall on everyone's head. Her came is so on the button it's distracted, but I just hope that.

I've seen two posters for it--one with just Cho and Gillian, and one with a bunch of (presumably co-workers) people yukking it up. I hope it grows up into the second show

Man, Raising Hope and Community got me back into sitcoms after a long time off, but it's definitely about the show talent, not the genre.

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.

I find I'm really enjoying The Mindy Project these days, but I have to avoid New Girl because the increasingly strong urge to punch out Zooey Deschanel endangers the TV set and it's not mine to break.

Hey. New board.

I watched the first episode of that show with the mother from HIMYM. It was pretty good and cute. Not mindblowingly anything yet but enjoyable enough.

I recorded that but haven't watched it yet.
