Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"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

Wait, did another show have a storyline where a doctor self-righteously decides a deaf kid should have one of those cochlear implants that don't actually tend to work very well over the objections of a parent?

Sounds like ER season 4 to me, but I could be wrong.

Oh, and apparently - only one pony in L.A. - I swear the pony in the Mentalist was the same one in Reaper.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How annoying would it be to actually get a pony for your birthday? Especially one that might have just crapped in your office?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The ER storyline about cochlear implants that I remember was when Benton and Carla were deciding whether or not Reese should get the implant, and ultimately decided not to. I stopped watching ER a few seasons before the end, though -- was there another plotline later on where someone implanted one against the parent's wishes?

Which is probably WHY he did it. He's kind of subversive like that.

That would be one of the things that would make me not like him. I see him as playful and subversive, but giving someone a pony unexpectedly is hella rude.

With any luck, he just rented it.

Anyone watching Criminal Minds? Alex O'Loughlin from Moonlight is guesting as a creepy scary killer with OCD tendencies.

He's extremely unnerving.
