Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is it wrong for me to drive (four hours) to my sister's for Thanksgiving on Thursday morning instead of Wednesday afternoon, so that I can watch Criminal Minds as it airs?

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

LeN, I didn't want to repost your info, so I figured if I mentioned it then you could do it.

Dude, it's episode 100! The manangst (I don't want to call it manpain--it's a slightly different flavour) will be epic.

I know! Epic. She'll just have to deal. If she can rearrange her life around her boyfriend's intense love of sports, she can give me a little leeway for my intense love of certain television shows, right? Besides, she can't make me! stamps foot but in a really grown-up way

So - best TV dad currently:

Cal Lightman, Nick Castle or Jack Carter?

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

Well, I'm several episodes behind in Lie to Me, and I haven't seen Jack recently, so I'll go with Castle for the moment. I like his parenting a whole lot.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I would say Lightman. Best daughter would be Castle's - but she grew up despite some questionable parenting skills.

I think Cal has too much friction in his relationship with Emily to win. I'd probably give the edge to Jack because Alexis kinda raises herself--or maybe Rick gets the points for doing that good a job. It's a hard call.

Cal is still head and shoulders above a lot of TV dads. But my favourite of the past decade is probably Sandy Cohen from The O.C.
