We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

My wife and I screamed when we saw on the identifying information for the fake newscast that Ben Wyatt is now OUR congressman. Big improvement on the real guy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ZEP was painful. Expected storyline, but still very difficult for me to watch.

The last musical number was pretty impressive.

But it was all still too painful.

edited because I mixed up the short code for italics and spoiler-font.

edited some more for words

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm going to wait a minute to watch this week's ZEP; probably until the finale next week and deal with it from there. Heavy heavy heavy.

The Parks & Rec special was amusing. The reprise of the Lil' Sebastian requiem was definitely my favorite part.

Ann, that's a ferret.

ZEP: Still perturbed that Max got fired and Leif didn't. Mo's number was fun, as was the love scene between Zoey and Max. Nice to have a couple of light moments in such a heavy episode.

The last half hour took me back 20 years to when The Ex's mother died, and all of the freakyness that happened then.

Now that the finale for ZEP is out there I plan to watch eps 11 and 12 back to back...but I still haven't found it in me to watch them, knowing where it's going. That's a tough sell for me right now! I need my entertainment to be lighter and/or in the realm of scifi/fantasy, not the already difficult reality!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yeah, the show with the fantastical premise gets extra real with the emotions.

Our wings are not tired.

It is still sitting in my queue waiting. Each day I look and ask myself if I am up for it, and put it off again. Maybe this weekend.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I watched the first episode the other night and enjoyed it, but I don't know if I'm up for heavy emotions with that effective a delivery system at the moment. "True Colors" always gets me no matter who's singing it, and when you add in the circumstances...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know you don't have to spoilerfont things that have aired, right?

Jesus, that was brutal. Way too much like my father's actual death.
