Based on the new guy’s reference to the Cotton Bowl feature Texas A&M and the Crimson Tide (Roll Tide), the episode starts at the end of 1967 and ends at the beginning of 1968. I don’t remember when the last season was supposed to have ended, though.

Glad everyone’s back! <3 you Joan! And you too, Peggy! And you, Lindsay Weir!

I loved that Tall Footman was a plot point.

I loved Parks and Rec so much! Last night was so great, and I was actually surprised! Not like the last time they had a wedding and managed to spoil it by accidentally airing the wrong commercial (remember that?). I really can’t wait to see all of this play out.

Fart attack.

I hope you’re not joking about this because I really like Bones. So far, I’m down with this season. I’m glad that she’s not blond anymore, too. That was terrible.

I could take the Daleks or leave them. I was not a fan of the big, bright blue/yellow/white Daleks from the WWII episode. Those were silly. You know what’s not silly? That baby Weeping Angel statue. That is straight up terrifying.

Also, the show is Doctor Who. Not Dr. Who.

ME TOO! He’s the worst. Quit whining and get a job, loser!

Writing that makes me feel old, though. When I first watched that movie when it came out, I thought he was so dreamy. Now, I just think he’s an asshole and she’s crazy for picking the depressed, unemployed guy who is a jerk when she could have had fun, employed Ben Stiller who thought she was awesome.

I pick puppies.

You need to watch the Christmas special even if you don’t write about it.

I’m not a huge fan of the book either. There were parts I enjoyed (specifically the part where he organizes the factory workers), and I thought the ending was very funny, but I was bored for many more pages than I was entertained.

However, most of my friends whose literary tastes I trust and respect love this book. So, to each her own, I suppose.

They’re not necessarily being canceled. They’ve just been picked up for shorter seasons of 13 episodes each instead of the usual 22. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, or set in stone. NBC has done that before, picked up a show for 13 episodes then extend it to 16 or 22. Also, this is not the first time that Parks and Rec and Community have been on the chopping block like this. It’ll be fine. And if it’s only 13 episodes, I bet they’ll be 13 really great episodes.

Also, 30 Rock has been setting up to end for at least 2 seasons now. Both of the main characters have been saying that they are ready to do something else. Tina Fey put it in her book, and Alec Baldwin talks about it pretty regularly.

Oh. Oh wow. I KNEW she looked familiar. This is going to take me a minute to deal with.

I really enjoyed this movie. I wanted to say something more thoughtful, but I just really had fun while watching this movie. It was funny and sort of sad, it never felt like it was dragging, the action was fun, everyone in it was great, and we FINALLY got a decent (if brief) Hulk story.

I also saw another Joss Whedon movie (well, co-written movie) this weekend that I really enjoyed. I know everyone has probably already seen Cabin In The Woods, but if you haven’t seen it, do so right now.

I didn’t see Community last night, but I watched the Ave Maria episode of RENO the other day (it’s on Netflix watch instantly now). Dangle plays it on the banjo and Jones sings it while Clementine is getting married to some guy with a giant mullet.
