Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought it was cute, too.

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.

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.
