I hate the Cougar Town commercials on TBS because they say that binge-drinking wine is bad. If I wanted to feel bad about drinking too much wine I would NOT be watching Cougar Town, dummies!
This was a very entertaining finale but unfortunately the thing with Jeremy doesn't even make sense because why does he keep telling Ichabod "YOU ABANDONED ME TO BE AN ANGRY ORPHAN WITH A MURDEROUS VOODOO DOLL I HATE YOU!" when he knows full well that Ichabod was pretendsies dead the whole time? I mean, sure, be mad at Katrina, girlfriend is cray, but get your facts straight! Don't bury your dad! What if something happens to his beautiful face???
He wrote the third episode which in my opinion is the most problematic one in a very Moffat way (favoring plot pyrotechnics over things making sense on a logical level and a character level). But then most people like the third one the best so what do I know.
One weird thing I just remembered is that they censored a couple of things from the British broadcast. In the part where it's cutting between John seeing patients at work and Sherlock talking to Mrs. Hudson there was this joke where Mrs. Hudson asks what John said to Sherlock and he says "Fu-" and it cuts to John telling his patient to cough, but they totally cut out the "Fu" part so now it just makes no sense. And also when they're in the bomb car they cut out John calling Sherlock a "cock" which apparently we're not ok with here!
Of course since this is a television show and it's the year 2014, there's a Tumblr that mashes it up with Arrested Development which is very funny but you shouldn't look at it if you haven't seen this whole season yet.

Yay we can finally talk about this! I liked this episode but it wasn't perfect. I can't really get behind the reunion scene because Sherlock is socially stupid, sure, but he's not socially stupid in such a silly way and also STOP TRYING TO DO ACCENTS BENNY! But otherwise very solid! Glad we got to see Molly have somewhat more of a personality! Not enough Lestrade but their reunion scene was nice.
My favorite part I think was when Sherlock and Mycroft were playing Operation and then had a deduction-off. It was very sweet. Poor lonely Mycroft! But my favorite line I think was when Mary was like "You don't know anything about human nature, do you?" and Sherlock says "Nature? No. Human? ....No."
Well in fairness, the rules of dual-dad beds are pretty complex. Dad sleeps on the bottom bunk Monday Wednesday, Friday and alternate weekends while Dad Prime takes the top, except on holidays when they are legally required to sleep in a blanket fort. Both dads also have a "switchsies" card that they can use once per quarter.
I love Juan Pablo's "I don't speak English very well" apology because, uh, what were you trying to say when you said that gay people were perverted and shouldn't have children?
That person has way more resilience than I could ever hope to have. If I had been hit in the face like that I would have just curled into the fetal position and willed myself to sink into the earth.
That Jezebel thing... yikes! In the words of my sister: "Jezebel fighting with Lena Dunham is like an ouroborous basically."
But WHATEVS! It's the weekend! And it's a long weekend! A+!

Yeah, for real! Also these people work together and have presumably worked together for some time. IF SHE WANTED TO GET ON IT SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ON IT ALREADY AND NOW YOU ARE JUST SEXUALLY HARASSING HER!
New Girl was my favorite this week! I am going to need to find GIFs of Nick in his sexy Bulls outfit because it was the best.
I liked Brooklyn Nine-Nine a lot too EXCEPT that my least favorite thing about that show has always been Boyle in general and the Boyle/Rosa thing specifically and I thought it was so gross that he said the thing like "When you do agree to go out with me, AND YOU WILL, it will be because blah blah blah" and people seem to think that that was super romantic or something? I am so sick of these plotlines about kickass ladies having to date annoying weirdos because the annoying weirdos love them SO MUCH and would be SO NICE to them (speaking of which Cougar Town was pretty good this week mainly because Laurie and Travis were off in separate stories).
Well I'm no Coen Brothers expert and I run really hot and cold with them in general but I just kept thinking "Did they not show Carey Mulligan a script or what?"
Am I the only person who thought that Inside Llewyn Davis was not very good? Like, I came away from it liking Oscar Isaac I guess but my other main emotion was "The Coen Brothers sure don't seem to like women very much and also why do people keep casting Justin Timberlake in their movies."
Some unexpected stuff! Some expected stuff! Steve Coogan is an Academy Award nominee which is delightful to me and also reminds me of the part in The Trip where Rob is asking him if he could get himself an Oscar but in exchange his child would get sick, would he do it, and Steve says "How sick?"
I have HAD IT with my job. Especially with some of the people in my office. The people in the department on the other side of the office from my department make a lot more money than we do for doing less work, and this week they have purchased and started using an electronic basketball hoop that makes beeping noises and a ping pong table, both of which are very noisy and distracting. I actually said the words "As though there wasn't already enough tomfoolery going on around here!" to my coworker, thus making my transition from 20-something-cool-cat to crotchety-old-person complete.
Not much silver lining to this day, but I did see this which made me laugh:

Ugh, I hate hearing about who's on the cover of the new Vogue because it just reminds me that I have a stack of like 10 of them I haven't looked at yet taking up space in my apartment.
You know, we really didn't see much of him after that because he was primarily friends with my sister and her boyfriend and they moved out shortly after.
When I lived in a party house we had this neighbor who was sort of like our guardian angel (he was closer to middle-age, and he would do things like take care of drunk puking people at our parties and bring several gallons of homemade sangria over on a whim) and at some point he stopped coming around for a while and nobody really knew what was up with him. Then one day a couple of my roommates were hanging out on the front porch and he came to say hi and they started catching up and he told them that he and his girlfriend had had a baby and that's why he hadn't been around much, and everybody was like "Oh noooooo" because his girlfriend was a few saucers short of a teaset if you know what I mean, so anyway, the next time he came over he brought his baby to meet everybody but when he pulled back the baby blanket it was actually a Chucky doll.
Oh also there was a flash mob public proposal on Cougar Town last night but it was ok because Matthew Perry was proposing to Courtney Cox one day after they met and she said yes despite already being married to Grayson because she wanted to get out of paying for the damage she caused to his car when she rear-ended him so the egg was ultimately on his face.
