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

I am not sure what it says that I see a lot of myself in both the new girl and Whitney.

Honey, no. Get help.

Scott Caan is really charming with lines. He's the best part of H50.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

He's the best part of H50

Beg to differ, while DDK is anywhere onscreen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You are not as unfunny as the Whitney show looks, nor working as hard to be quirky as Zooey is.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So the only question is whether you need a comma at that point in the sentence to make it clear. You use the comma as necessary.

The only other question is whether the particular author is able to judge that effectively. In my experience that's often not the case. You, I expect use it properly when needed. The "writers" I deal with are not generally that careful, and an issue does crop up every so often.

Because books.

msbelle, I'm definitely watching at least the premiere of The New Girl. Whitney, not so much.

Because books.

I don't particularly care for his father's charm, though.

I have longstanding, irrational love for James Caan.
