Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

Would it be inappropriate to make a joke about super powers?

 

Was already made on the shuttle home from class, so not at all

 

What if Virginia becomes a state composed entirely of super people? Who's going to form the Institute for Higher Learning?

 

Yikes. Even more worrisome that they don't know how much spilled yet.

 

Oh thank god.

Worse--West Virginia.

 

Virginia? Pfft. We're talking about WEST Virginia here. The BEST* Virginia!

Barriss_Coffee yeah, fortunately it seems to be contained to that watershed, so my family just drove up 30 miles south of me to stay with relatives.




*Best at obesity and alcoholism rates

I loved the episode, and how it actually addressed the Jeff/Annie relationship without any hints of sinking it. I hope they are spurred on by Pierces death to move on and stop playing games when they clearly care for each other.I'm just hoping they don't reverse again with the next episode, like after Pascals Triangle, or have one of the showrunners tell us we Jeff/Annie fans read into it wrong, like the Convention episode. But given the quality of this season so far, I am optimistic again.

The episode was more an homage to crime thriller movies, but it also makes a great followup to Lupine Urology. And someone pointed out to me that the Ass Crack bandit is not new, but was mentioned back in season 2, as part of the Student President debate with Jeff and Annie.

As for Pierce's will, that is the next episode, and while Annie is his favorite, I can see it ending up with Troy, who lived with Pierce for a year. Pierce could task Troy to continue with his legacy, and Troy could accept to find out who he really is without Abed. That would explain his absence from the season later.

 

Oh, well, alright then.

 

Spoiler: Next Community Episode

The next episode has the executor of Pierces will giving a polygraph to the group.

 

Another reason why I never bothered with Tapatalk, other than the fact that it wants me to pay for it.

 

So tonight was a good and bad night for television!

True Detectives premiered on HBO and I'm currently watching it on HBO Go. I'm not a huge fan of Matthew C. (I'm not even gonna try to spell his last name) but he's definitely playing an interesting character here. I keep noticing abunch of black people that were on The Wire. I'm digging it so far and I can't wait to see where it goes!

Girls is also coming back tonight and it's my favorite show that I love to hate. I'll be checking it out as well.

On the downside Lupita Nyongo was totally snubbed. She was amazing in 12 Years a Slave and for some reason she lost to Jennifer Lawrence who was in a movie that was...well...less than stellar. I don't want to cry "racism" because this happens all the time in the Golden Globes. However, Lupita was so stupidly amazing in that movie that I'm going to go ahead and call it. Tina and Amy are in top form during the Golden Globes as always! I miss Ricky Gervais but this is definitely a step up.

 

The second season of Girls was hit-and-miss for me but I really got into the two episodes tonight. I can appreciate a lot of the reasons people roll their eyes at it, but I have to admit I enjoy the hell out of it when it's firing on all cylinders. Also, Allison Williams.

 

Currently introducing a pair of friends to the awesomeness that is Leverage.

 

I bailed on Leverage about a season before it ended; still want to go back and finish it someday.

 

I may - repeat, may - have run over a bridge singing Let It Go. I'm not confessing.

Besides, it was too wide to get both hands on railings.

 

You do seems more like a "Be prepared" kind of man admiral

 

Yarrrrr!

 

I really thought the first episode of TD was fantastic. My husband and I were laughing out loud - a lot of very dark humor. Or at least I thought so. Also, I too am not a Matthew McC fan, but I thought he was really great. The role plays to all his strengths. He's also so gaunt looking. Geez, when did he lose so much weight?

I DVR'd Girls, but haven't watched it yet. I agree with Coop's take on S2, but I'm willing to give it a shot. It's still heads above most of the tv drivel, even when it's not so good.

Haven't watched my DVR of last night's Downton Abbey either. Why must everything air on Sunday night?
