Yeah - probably designed by a committee....
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Poor Noah, it's going to be an adjustment for him, but that's OK.
I can't believe he was trying to crawl into Grace's crib.
I can. Franny used to climb into Isaac's crib all the time. I've shared the story of when she changed his diapers, right? Thanks little helper!
I'm baking brownies for Isaac's teachers right now. I wish I were in bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
GA is pretty !!! so far, and I'm only halfway through. It's been !!! all the way from the start.

I say keep the creepy and inexplicable Olympics mascots coming. I'd like Atlanta to be able to retire the "worst mascot ever" crown.

On Grey's--seriously, why did they kill Reed and not annoying girl-in-love-with-Shepherd??? ANNOYING.
Also this whole episode is making me SO FREAKING TENSE. Damn.

I quit watching Grey's Anatomy a long time ago, but I'm almost curious about what's going on. Between this and my facebook page, something huge obviously is going down. Of course, even if someone told me, I probably don't know who the characters are.

Also re: Grey's--I find it incredibly unlikely that they wouldn't have a lockdown procedure code. I've worked in a number of hospitals and even just medical buildings, and most of them have posted around all sorts of code lists--"CODE AMBER MEANS LOST/STOLEN CHILD, CODE BLACK MEANS DANGEROUS PERSON ON THE LOOSE, CODE BLUE MEANS DANGEROUS CHEMICAL SPILL" etc etc. And there's usually several that are completely weird (radiation!) but that's why they have the list posted--so when they suddenly annouce "CODE PURPLE!" people can look up and go "whaaa?"

We had a bunch of emergency codes when I worked in a hospital, but none for that. So I'm not sure how they'd inform the rank and file employee.

Vortex, basically there's a guy whose wife was in surgery and was brain dead and McDreamy said to pull the plug because she had a DNR and the guy flipped and sued the hospital and lost, so he's returned, with a gun, and is shooting up the place. And various shit is going down.

meara, ironically, the thing that got me watching Grey's was Isiah Thomas saying "we have a code black" in all of the ads during the Superbowl that year and I just wanted to know what the fuck a code black was and then I was hooked for a while. Of course, what ultimately made me stop watching was that I could no longer suspend my disbelief that Meredith had any redeeming value. She was whiny, needy, annoying, clingy and indecisive. I couldn't understand why all the men wanted to be with her and all of the women wanted to be her friend. Plus, her overbite started to annoy me.
