I have a sneaking suspicion that sentence is so not cryptic past...oh...fifteen minutes of the first episode?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Man, I need to hurry up and finish watching Community so I can watch Misfits.
OUaT: He's Doctor Whale, right? That has to mean something, you don't name a character "Dr. Whale" for no reason, but I can't think of a connection.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That's the only thing I could think of but it seems too weird for the rest of the show. Snow White dating the whale from Pinocchio, I don't know. But if that is what's going on, weirder could be better.

Am I the only one who noticed that Gus Fring is the magic mirror guy?

I spotted him. That's quite a tonal shift.

there is a particular character I don't care for.
I think you might be thinking what I'm thinking.
OTOH hand, I really like Power-Dealer Seth, so am worried that he'll probably die soon. [Speculation, not spoiler]. I really liked Melissa, and look what happened to her .
I have been surprisingly meh on S 3 so far .

I have not seen this week's ep, but prior to that, the ep that I thought kind of failed was the Nazi one because it was ahistorical in all the wrong ways. Other than that, I've been able to check my brain at the door and go with it.
I'm a little afraid of this week's ep based on the preview, so I'm in avoidance mode.

I caught up with GRIMM on Hulu. We got an episode with rather a lot of Monroe in it, including his house decorated for Christmas. I think I kind of adore him now.
Let us not speak of the police procedural "elements" to the story. I can accept Grimms and Blutbads and the rest, but illegal policing brings me right out of it.

There was also the whole logistical problem of wolf girl. No one saw her in nine years? She was so freaked out she made no effort to contact people? Also, she apparently wolfs out fairly frequently, yet was wearing fairly well fitting clothes?
The police were so concerned about her disappearance yet were apparently wrong about the day she was abducted? Then they turn her back over to her adoptive mom without any training in controlling her Blutbadness?
Also, the marijuana field plants were the most fake plants I've seen since ST:TOS.
