[S01.E06: Little House on the Podcast: Dead Lady's Party]

I'm with you on the whole Catholic thing. I go back to church in little spurts now and again and the whole "and with your spirit" thing trips me up every time. I feel like a huge neon red arrow goes off over my head and now everyone at mass knows I've been less than diligent with my attendance. I mean, I don't think God really cares cause he's got a lot on his plate and my spotty attendance can't really rank up there, but I definitely feel the side-eye.

[Clooney's Drunk And Not Grey, Carol's Sad But Not Dead, And Everyone's A Fetus On S01 Of ER]

Aw man, that sent me down a YouTube click hole that ended with Carter reading the letter from Mark and me in tears at my desk. What? It's dusty in here!

[S03.E01: A Kiss Is Just A Kiss]

Marie's Crisis is definitely the most fun place ever. As someone who's been going there regularly for more than 20 years, I can completely attest to that. Strong recommend to anyone who has always wanted to belt out a showtune without caring what they sound like.

[S02.E01: Kudove]

I still enjoy this show, but even I have to admit "you were fired from the FBI to be recruited for the CIA only to secretly join the FBI again" treads pretty close to "your father's brother's cousin's former roommate" [/Spaceballs] territory.

The British guy is so familiar -- I feel like I've seen him on Doctor Who. And the co-director I believe is from The Originals, where she was nearly equally as annoying. My jaw dropped when she called Blair Underwood "Dad," though -- I'm so used to completely inappropriate age-difference relationships that I was not expecting them to make him her father.

I also did a double-take at Alex characterizing Simon as her best friend, but I guess they did go through a lot together.

Other than having no clue who Alex works for, not a bad premiere by this silly show's standards.

The British guy was on Doctor Who. He played Alonso, the lowly ship's mate who stands up to the devious capital of the Titanic, allowing the Doctor to say something he's always wanted to say: "Allons-y Alonso!"

[Sarah's Marathon Diary: It's Time To Escape The Presidential Race And Visit The West Wing]

It's a little off topic, but I was just discussing the concept of free speech with my 15 year old nephew recently and ended up paraphrasing The West Wing's precursor, The American President, also penned by Sorkin.

I said "The true definition of free speech is defending a man whose advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."

I still love that whole speech.

[S03.E03: Girl Meets Jexica]

Clicking that Boy Meets World clip led me down a YouTube hole and i eventually found a clip with the 1, 2, 3 trick:

[Requiem For A Brigadier]

Bonfool is quite correct. Since I watched the eps on Amazon Prime, I also missed many Christmas Specials, including this one. It made things very confusing until I went back.
