Isn't that from two different poems? "Acqainted with the Night" talks about going to the edges of town.

Compassionately intolerant

I thought Holmes was holding back tears when he read the quote.

It felt like the most important bit was Joan acknowledging Holme's inability to accept that he has reached a goal...Many miles before I sleep.

Her deep knowing of his internal life is the greatest gift he could receive from anyone.

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

That wasn't the worst clip show I've ever seen. I am a little surprised that clip shows are still a thing.

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

clip shows are a sure fire way to get me into a rage.

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

I still maintain they can be done well--Andromeda pulled off a doozy. It's not the format, it's the choices.

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

in theory, in a world of possibilities, I suppose you are right. I did not watch Andromeda.

My previous statement stands. It is rage-making for me. Nothing worse than sitting down, looking forward to a new episode, and BAM.

This just happened to me 2 weeks ago when I had to catch up on "Once Upon A time" and I turn it on and they were doing a whole show about the making of the show with clips. This isn't "The Wire." Click.

Bones: I can't believe they are dragging the Pellant storyline on for another season.

Preach it, sister. If it hadn't been the season finale, I was tempted to skip the episode when I saw they were bringing him back.
