Of course! I am reminded of the time I posted at Tim Minear the first time and complained about how they portrayed fundraising on Angel. Good times.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course, but that particular bit stuck out more than most for me. I would have been able to hand wave it easier if Alexis had said she was paying for it with a paid internship. Because I could see that as her father's daughter she may have been able to pull off some internship that paid really well.

At my last job we had both federal and state work-study money that students could get. They had different percentages that you had to pay along with different restrictions and paperwork. So much fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Good times... good times.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Mentalist fans, there is a review of "Red Listed" up at [link] that includes an intriguing analysis of various characters in light of passages in Revelations about the Dragon and the Beast.

Silly Castle writers. If there are a whole bunch of them now they won't be worth 1.5 million each.

Love me some Spader, but the stupid things on this show might just be too stupid for me to go on. Why did Elizabeth have the photo? Why drive the length of the pier as seconds tick down and there is water RIGHT THE FUCK THERE?!?!? Lizzie feels all "betrayed" by the sooper criminal -- why was she trusting him in the first place?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are we supposed to assume that Alexis doesn't care about a key difference between Pi and Beckett--that she liked Beckett before they committed to each other, and Pi hasn't displayed anything intrinsic to him that her father would like? That he was a crap and ungracious guest and the only thing going for him is the word of a nineteen year old?
This is the point where we shrug and accept that she's got to act like a teenager sometime? I mean, I'd like the storyline a whole lot better if I didn't hate Pi too, and "because I love him" only counts for some of it, not all of a response.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
She's 19. That seems 100% in character to me. A non-Alexis might have gone through the same thing at 15 or 16 when the stakes were lower - downside of the mature adolescent. Not that I speak from experience.
