2. I generally don't care for RPF, but your selection of the most adorable people currently walking the Earth for your subjects? Mind might be changed.
3. Probably one of my biggest television sins is never watching The Gilmore Girls. Should it be on my already long list, or is it skippable?
4. SUCH JOY FROM LITTLE PONDS! And they are remarkably well-named, aren't they?
5. Started watching Being Human last night (finished Series 2 of Misfits . . . will have thoughts later), and I already get your Annie love. And then I had a dream where I moved into the apartment with her, Mitchell, and George, and I had the cutest luggage, but some guy spilled coffee all over it, and we were in San Francisco on a freeway that resembled a roller coaster for some reason.
6. What? You mean your dreams aren't subconsciously doing the gender swap casting for you anymore?
7. Okay, here's where we disagree: I fully expected Chang to open the door after Jeff's run through the rain. And I was okay with that. When it turned out to be Rich, I didn't find it mocking in the least, just a bit of a clever surprise. True, this season has been very meta and isn't as strong as season 1, but I'm still loving it. Theo Huxtable as Andre was brilliant casting, I'm enjoying the Jeff/Annie, but I miss all the Britta/Annie we haven't seen in a while. Someone on tumblr was ranting about there not being enough Britta in the past couple episodes, but I think that with an ensemble show one can always feel their favorite character is getting the shaft. As brilliant as Modern Warfare is, my girl Annie was but a mere blip in a trashcan, but I still adore that episode because I watch for the ensemble. And Donald Glover's abs. He has gorgeous abs.
Now, the whole meta story on Supernatural you're totally right about: it started out clever, got nerdy, took a few swipes at Wincest, then just got old. I loved the idea of the Prophet, but when a fandom really began to be shown, that's when I think it became mean-spirited. Though I did like the two guys who cosplayed Sam and Dean only to turn out to be gay partners.
I think the problem with hipsters is their irony is always such an affectation; they want you to notice they're being ironic, so that being ironic is not a natural state for them. I highly recommend the book "Hipster Christianity" by Brett McCracken to you, because it discusses what happens when irony gets placed in a religious context. You might find it interesting.

Okay.
1. My thoughts on Season 8 as a whole and a bit about issue 40 (oh, wait, you've seen that . . . ) and my review of Misfits series 1 may be of interest to you, as would my latest ranting and crying depression post, which is now moot because we've changed my medication. Yeah, bit of overshare right there at the end.
