So was "The Days and Life of Molly Dodd" basically the rough sketch of New Girl then?

It felt like it. At least Blair Brown got a better role on Fringe.

I replied to you a while back but please don't give up on Buffy after 3 eps; the first season is really not a good metric to judge the rest of the series by

Buffy's first season is pretty dire overall with a few glimmers of potential. If you've seen the first three episodes, skip to the 3rd episode of Season 2.

Why would you skip the season 1 finale? The Master is awesome, and Buffy dying the first time is something important for later.

Then again I quite like most of the episodes of season 1, it has some of my favorite MOTW episodes of the whole show, like Witch, Nightmares, and Out of Mind Out of Sight.

Oh I actually like most of Season One actually (especially Out of Mind Out of Sight), even though it can be pretty dire . You are right though, Prophecy Girl should not be skipped I apologize.

Pacific Rim was the most enjoyable movie of 2013, and I will entirely agree that it was better than Serenity. Pacific Rim loving owns.

Nice avatar for that opinion, but I'd agree too. I love Pacific Rim because it was so drat entertaining. There are movies that are superbly made and those that are entertaining and those that actually are both. I will always go for entertaining in preferences.

Millar hates the concept of 'heroes'. He doesn't believe that there is anything good in anybody, and that if anybody gets any power they will immediately try to tear down everybody else. And he's a huge fan of anal rape.

My reaction to GoT seems strange to me. It's a fantasy show with battles, sex, and now even dragons, but I don't enjoy it. Contrarily, True Detective is a character study which I normally hate and I loved it. HBO, what the gently caress are you doing to my tastes? :argh:
