Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did it! I caught all the way up to Will Shortz! Victory!

So, what show gets better and better through five seasons?

Amazing, right? Maybe that's why it's hard for me to believe this is the 5th season.

So, that was a good episode and all, fun that they had Melissa Fumero's husband on, but I kept trying to read the answers on the giant puzzles in the background and at least the Beans on Toast puzzle had some questionable answers. Octa? Maybe. TDDO? Come on.

That's why they couldn't have Will Shortz play himself.

They couldn't just blow up some old real puzzles? I suppose there's copyright issues.

Community would have had more jokes hidden in the answers, just sayin.

Our wings are not tired.

We finished Season 1 of The Good Place last night. Did not see that coming! Yes, we begin S2 tonight. I anticipate it going quickly.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I say this all the time, but Ted Danson deserves a damn Emmy just for That Laugh alone. You know the one.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Did not see that coming!

I'm impressed you managed to stay unspoilt!

I wasn't subscribed to this thread at the time, and didn't really read anything about it other than repeatedly hearing that I needed to watch. And I did. DH was astounded that I didn't know. He keeps asking me what is happening next thinking I am spoiled.

Having been a spoiler lover for years I am truly delighted that I wasn't spoiled. Good times. Looking forward to S2.

eta: I may have exclaimed holy forking shirtballs!
