I'm permanently grounded.

I don't think this is the response I'm supposed to have, but I hope TT/Dave/Keiran does mess up Adam. He doesn't have to die but a few throat punches wouldn't hurt. Aw, Elise like-likes Gaël! (Which, who wouldn't.) I missed why she was wearing those coveralls after she was kidnapped?

I could make a case for the traitor being anyone but Android, especially if there was mind control involved or threats to kill others.

There's no standard answer, if that peeves you. :) From Public Libraries Online: "Should you separate fiction into genres, or should all fiction be left together? Or do you split the difference and mark different genres in some way but leave everything together on the shelf? There are lots of questions, and very few definitive answers. However, there is one question we can answer for sure. Is there a right way to do things? Absolutely not! This is a decision best left up to individual libraries and what will work best for their communities." Dewey says that all fiction is shelved together, sub-categorized by author's last name with 3 or 4 digit cutter numbers. Any color coding would be your individual library's homegrown solution, but it is becoming more popular. There are commercial products such as ColorMarq.

Why believe someone who either was wrong or lied about last season?

I was going to spoiler my comments as well, but they're pretty generically negative. Ergo: I was thoroughly bored. Every scene and character can probably be found on tvtropes.org and the "twist" was telegraphed from the first scene. The lead was totally forgettable.

Whoopi (or Caryn Johnson, as I prefer to think of her) was the final nail in The View coffin for me. I had mild feelings of good will towards her when she was acting in movies and doing Comic Relief, but can't hack her actual personality, which is vile. And sorry, but Oprah. It was probably unavoidable given the deference and adulation she receives on a daily basis, but she's become a ridiculous megalomaniac.

No need. But I feel bad for you having to listen to it! If I told people I was a librarian, the most I'd get is maybe a weak joke about shushing. I guess I'm lucky because it was short to say and nobody needed an explanation. (Ahem. Although for the record, I never worked the reference desk and never shushed anyone!)

It was never explained, but the speculation is that Marcella had her confrontation with Grace that escalated into physical violence. She left but when she came out of her fog at home, she had blood on her and didn't remember why. She went back to Grace's and discovered her dead, thought she might have done it and went into other dissociative state, then (very stupidly and unbelievably) removed the body. The second theory is that Henry was already hidden/lying in wait in Grace's home. Marcella arrived, came to blows with Grace and did her blackout thing. Henry took the opportunity to kill Grace and Marcella later "came to" alone in the house with a dead person. She conveniently fugued out again and buried Grace.

Maybe we've discovered Resting Stoned Face! Heather has RBF down pat, so it makes some kind of logical sense that the experts would pair her with Derek. ;)

Oy, an episode about marital spats now? I like Father Nicholas, but he wasn't enough to save it. And no Daniel. Gaffigan has remarked several times in interviews that he and his wife write every episode, but they seriously need some outside help and input. What seems hilarious to them is maybe not so much to the rest of us.

Maybe I'm more like Phoebe than I thought, because I also ended up removing the battery from a beeping alarm in the middlel of the night, then wrapping it in a towel and throwing it away outside in a public waste can by a bus stop! I did wonder what the morning bus riders would think. The explanation: "Two possibilities exist if your smoke detector has no battery and is chirping. Many battery-only smoke detectors store energy in case the battery goes completely dead before someone replaces it and in case someone removes the battery to prevent the smoke detector from going off or to prevent it from chirping as it starts to die. This is a safety precaution."

Arthur's porn preferences made me laugh, but it was nice to see Julie pay some attention to him, even if it was just for sex. And she agreed to be domestic partners!

My sister once idly asked who my favorite Friends character was and when I said Phoebe, she gave me the oddest look. Maybe she was afraid I was going to box her ears. ;-)

Ah, if only Carrie had a smidge of actualized self-worth. Instead, she defined herself through men's eyes and decided to lie to Aiden about who she was starting from their first hours together.

This video was posted by @s.anthony in the Stranger Things forum and it made me happy that this kid had the creativity and musicality to write his own song about a TV show. I was very impressed!

When he was on Comedian in Cars with Seinfeld, he talked about the two of them going on tour as the comedy team of Arrogant and Smug. So at least he knows it?

What was the deal with Lillian's sister? I don't see how "lack of time" could affect one sister not being asked to be a bridesmaid while the other was, even if she lives elsewhere. Or at least Lillian should have explained to the unasked sister why it wasn't possible for her to be part of the wedding party. I have one sibling and we don't get along all that well but even I knew she had to be one of my bridesmaids. I'm intrigued both by a man who is too inhibited to tell a woman he thinks she's pretty, and a woman who fixates on not hearing it. The argument in the preview between I'm with those who think Heather is coming off as cold so far. C'mon experts! You cannot pick people for this show who have sticks up their butts!

Gawd, the neon bar signs, wooden spool tables and beer can collections! The 4' tall speakers may be the worst, though. If it excuses my stereotypical male prejudices, I also feel bad for men who have to live with porcelain dolls, frilly pillows and Holly Hobby wallpaper borders.

I liked Aiden fine, but enthusiastically cosign that he and Carrie would never have dated outside a sitcom. He would have found her vapid and materialistic and she would not have been attracted to his overly earnest, slow-talking, nightlife-hating ways.

First, last and always: Conan O'Brien. It's a visceral thing since his physical appearance skeeves me out, but it's also his personality, which is a thin-skinned collection of juvenile tics and posturing. His "poor pitiful me" so-called comedy tour after he was fired from The Tonight Show was the cherry on my loathing sundae.

How is it possible that Sonia and Nick stood awkwardly silent during their show-imposed champagne break after the ceremony? They know nothing about each other and literally have everything in the world to ask and discuss.

Did the customer tell them, "You owe me $10.09 in change?" and they didn't believe him? Men get rooms to themselves because their wives prefer them to be out from underfoot and to keep their messes contained. ;)

Haha! That kid with the homage song is awesome -- it's James Taylor 80s lite! What kind of person watches this show and decides to write a soft rock recap about it? The creative human spirit is indeed a wonderful, soul-lifting thing.

The more frantic the show gets, the more turned off I feel. The producers keep throwing shit at the walls to see what sticks before quickly scurrying off to the next thing. Does Stephen want to do a standard late night talk show, a variety show, a political satire show, or a hybrid of everything? I never watched his other program and didn't come into this with any expectations other than seeing some interesting interviews and chuckling at a few jokes. After almost a year, the show, to its detriment, remains all over the place with no real focus or point. Stephen's interview skills continue to lag because of his need for self-aggrandizement, and that is a fucking problem on a talk show. His current time slot rivals of course tell jokes about politics, but it isn't the main thrust of their shows and hasn't traditionally been the thrust of late night broadcast television. IMO, the more Stephen tries to be "Stephen Colbert," the more the show will fail at being what stodgy CBS and its audience expects. His former fans continue to be disappointed at what they see as watered-down content and he hasn't brought many new fans into the fold. I agree that Stephen is a smart man. I don't know what he thought this show was going to be going in, but his comments at the time indicated that he was leaving "Stephen" behind. For him to drag that corpse out of the grave now feels like desperate pandering to me. It is an election year, and an unusual one. All the talk shows have dipped more into politics but I don't see how Stephen is ever going to be able to turn the boat around, if he even wants to. I feel bad for him for the unhappy hole he's dug for himself.
