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 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

4/10, but I misread one of the wrong answers as the correct one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I got 6/10 ... and I've seen a few of them, but I kept getting the show titles mixed up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

8/10. I watched several of those show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I meant to watch Endeavour - that's whathisname, uh, Oxford? I like his sidekick better, though. I wanna say Lewis

Endeavour is Morse, whose partner was Lewis. Everyone likes Lewis better. Still waiting for the iteration with DI Hathaway.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I didn't watch Morse the show, but I would totally take young Morse over old Lewis. Though really, I would like a combination of young Morse and Hathaway, but apparently that's against the laws of time and space or something.

The problem with old Lewis is that they decided to kill off his wife so he would have some issues to deal with when he got his own show. Young Lewis was a happy-go-lucky guy who got on Morse's nerves. Which wasn't hard to do. Old Morse was a lonely, often pathetic man.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

9/10, I watch(ed) most of them, though. Guess the networks know my sweet spot. I hate the reveal of the Dr. Phil one. Makes me feel a little dirty for occasionally watching it.

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

Morse, yes, thank you! That's a pretty good endorsement, Dana, I'll bear it in mind.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There's a newish (it's been up a few weeks) season of Blackpool up on Netflix, for those short of procedurals.

Our wings are not tired.

So did anyone see the S6 opener for Elementary? It is sitting taunting me on my recorded tv queue. I've missed them so.
