Michele

I THINK Sarah may have been confusing Jonathan Taylor Thomas with Jonathan Brandis, a teen heartthrob from the same time who died in 2003 or it's possible she could have confused him with Brad Renfro (who was in Tom & Huck with JTT) who died in 2008.

Quick question: I thought this was the third game time, with it being VG-1 TA-2 and SDB-0? Did I imagine that?

Since 1997! I looked it up because I was wondering if he'd ever been off TV at all since was on Buffy, and nope. Angel ended in 2004 and Bones started up in 2005. He's been on TV a full 20 years. Good on him, though.

Hi, I just watched all of this and it was wonderful. Everything I dislike in regards to traditional sitcoms paled in comparison to the writing and acting. Yeah, there was some cheesy stuff but it was really touching. I definitely found myself crying a few times during the show. Especially at the end. Also, I want to take a moment to shout the credits and theme song. I am actually Cuban-American (who also went to Catholic school!), and Gloria Estefan's update is pitch perfect as are the actual credits. It honestly felt a lot like looking through the old photos of my parents from when they were kids in Cuba (though mostly my dad). I always laugh though because it's like old pictures of Cuba..then Schnider's Instagrams?? So weird.

When I was in film school, I was taught in Doc that you should always have a specific POV and story that you're telling. Honestly, if that did the whole family thing and then the auditing and then the belief system, it might muddy things up. You really only need to focus on the effect it has on families. That's more than enough. Everything else serves that specific story.

In fairness, this is just a thing MSW does. I only say this because I just watched the entirety of the the show on Netflix and I'm probably gonna do it again because this year has been....trying, to say the least.

Can we rank the interns? I'm not going to include Zach in this, because I feel like he's in a seperate field, since he had three whole season and the rest of the squints had less than I'd say...30-15 episodes each? I'm gonna go worst to best: WELLS IS THE WORST. Like 1000% percent. He's obnoxious and I cannot stand him. I'm most likely to skip an episode he's in. He's just insufferble and there are no redeeming qualities to him. Vaziri is only a step below Wells, to be honest. His bs with Cam is honestly so annoying and his nonchemistry with her makes me crazy. Fuentes is next worst, because I forget he exists. I should like him more because we are both Cuban but like...I can't. He's just there. Fisher, because he had that damn Avatar storyline. I can't with that storyline. Also, not a super huge fan of depression being played for laughs! Wick, she's gotten better lately but she has a LOT to make up for. So maybe my views on her will change but as of right now, this is a good spot for her. Edison, I have definitely softened on him. I wasn't a huge fan when he first came on, but I think as he's opened up, he's gotten better. Warren, I actually enjoy her! I like her with Aubrey and I may have a bit of affection for the actress that plays her because she's Jane Bennett in the Lizzie Bennett Diaries. Abernathy is great. Him and Hodgins together making that hot sauce is one of my favorite things, and I like that they have nicknames for each other. Wasn't a huge fan of the thing with Michelle, but whatever. I think he's charming. Nigel-Murray was just really adorable. I am so, so sad about what happened to him. Yeah, his constant need to share fact could be annoying but I have fallen victim to the same need to share information, so I could totally relate. Bray is my favorite squint by FAR. I think he is really cute, and I love love love when he's the squint. I can't explain why I like him so much, maybe it's because I feel like he's the most developed? I think the cancer storyline was used in a really good way (though the way they covered up in head in that bald cap was...questionable, at best), and I just really like the dude. Okay, that's everyone. That was a really long post. I apologize.

Same. I have to catch up on the first season on Hulu, but I definitely enjoyed it. It's really just a fun ride.

I knew it from all the hints and stuff and I couldn't be more excited about this news! Yay Joe Reid!

On the real, if the racists won't go see Star Wars...somehow I doubt that it's really going to affect how much money the movie makes at all and hey, there won't be racists jerks in the theater so I think we all win! I'm not super into the franchise in general but I think all the wah-wah complaining by racists make me want to see it, so...

It's the wardrobe people basically pulling out all the stops because let's be real: the Halloween episodes are the only time that they get to have any fun on most shows. If you're a high school show you have prom, and you maybe get a wedding or two but yeah, wardrobe's gotta have their fun somehow, you know?

Record label CEOS. Spotify itself.

I mean, I think she gets enough time off in between albums, because she literally just kind of goes into her hole when working on albums, so I'm pretty sure she'll be hiding away more once the Grammys are done with. Oh, was it? I've only become a bigger Taylor fan since "Red" (I mean, I like her older stuff but it didn't click with me until Red) so I didn't even realize this was a thing. This gives me hope! I know she does it live so that does lend itself to the possibility.

Taylor Swift follows a very specific album release schedule, so she won'e release anything until October of 2016, I'm sure. Her schedule is basically: release an album in October of year 1, so that it's too late to count for Grammys, go om tour at the beginning of the year and then get nominated for a bunch of Grammys in year 2 , take a break to do an album and then start it all over the next year so that's she's never really out of the public eye. It's actually kind of brilliant. Also, I'm so mad "New Romatics" is a deluxe track, because that means it won't get released as a single. It's so damn good.

Meh, I don't see it as shade. I see it as her knowing what she is and knowing what Taylor is and their brands really don't mix that well.

It was suggest on PCHH, but I'm really into Switched On Pop, a music podcast that delves into various aspects of pop songs. They have an episode that talks about sax breaks in songs, another one that delves into ways heartbreak is dealt with in songs, and the way youth is shown in specific songs. There's also episodes about specific pop songs, and it's really interesting to listen to even if you don't like the song. I really dislike Hozier's "Take Me To Church" but the episode about the song and how he uses major and minor chords within the same song is just really interesting to me.

Y'all, Game Time is so much harder than it seems. SO STRESSFUL. It was super fun, though!!

So basically, the post script of the episode is some of the funniest stuff I've heard in a long time and I am so glad it exists.

Man, the Pyramid GT had me on the edge of my seat. SO good. I love these sort of things, but it was SO tough to not scream out answers while I was on the elliptical at the gym. SO hard. I also throughly enjoyed the MP submission but what struck me about that was that it was 32 episodes that season. That sounds ridiculous for a TV show, was that common at the time or was that a weird thing that happened to that show? A tv show can be rough work (I do PA work now, though it reality TV stuff, usually) and it must have been hard on everyone at the end of it.

It took me 10 seconds to realize what was going on with the Carvel ad and then I just cackled for the rest of it. It was amazing.

This was my exact reaction. It just spells out DOOM.

I believe it's a reference to Ken Jennings, the dude who had that massive run on Jeopardy and now is basically known for having a funny Twitter.

The only thing with that is that they don't really say specifically; all that's implied by that speech is that she's finished her terms as governor (because you only get two) and she's off to "unknown adventures." I think they purposefully left it ambiguous, and I'm okay with that. It brings me great joy that either one of them ends up President.

It was wonderful. I managed to hold the tears in until the end credits. For some reason that just broke me, and then the "We Love You, Harris" was just....oh, man. Killed me. Random question, though: at Garry's funeral, there were definitely Secret Service guys with Ben and Leslie, right? So are we to assume one of them is President?

I'm actually crying over Harris, I really enjoyed his stuff out of P&R (the Phish podcast, mostly) and I am just so sad about this.
