This is the Amazing Person Award! Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of eight different people, who, in your opinion, deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but its sweet to know someone thinks your amazing inside and outside.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Okay, I just wanna ask this question to be included in the decompress ep. Whatever happened to the Ianucci case. Like, I have ideas on what happened to the case itself, but it wasn't shown to have affected Jake at all, if ever. I gotta say, the experience gave him some kind of openness which I think is why this season was more about sad!Jake. Would like to hear your insights on this. :)

Noted! I had planned on including some talking points around this, too.

So, I'm keeping up with the podcast,and I am only up to Pontiac Bandit 2. You talked about the end of the Giggle Pig arc. My question is that why isn't Terry given an award in the next ep along w/ Rosa, Jake, and Holt? Like Terry helped Rosa in eps 205 and 209. He recommended her, too.

I don't have a great reason, but my guess is that the meritorious service was for that final, rad-as-hell raid that occurred, which Terry was not a part of. Holt, of course, negotiated the taskforce, and it's his precinct, so he gets credit as well?

I dunno, I'll have to think about this some more. 'Cause....you're kinda right?

Once you get this you have to say 5 things you like about yourself publicly, then send it to ten of your favourite followers (non negotiable) (positivism rocks)!

I'm back! Barcelona was fun, I had this great paella and I wondered how Charles Boyle would rate it. :p

Anyway, 5 things I like about myself:

1. My eyes.

2. My introversion (although with mixed feelings)

3. My analytical skills.

4. My attention to detail.

5. My ability to adapt to a lot of different situations.

omg hahaha this is sweet

I have a genuine interest in talking to people

I strive to express myself even if it often cost my social status

It's my inherent agenda to cheer up the people around me

I love hugging people so much <3

I have a decent butt

I think the discarded Thanksgiving plot/the breakup was just moved to another time? Like, I think it will happen after the getaway ep? I mean TVLine said mutual attraction. (MUTUAL!!!) I just don't know how Sophia will navigate the situation, if this actually happens.

SO HERE'S THE THING -- I've been thinking this too?! Like, I suspect it'll happen in February sweeps, if it happens at all. It sounds like Longoria's stint on the show is being done in a sort of extended manner? Plus we're eight (?) episode press releases into the seasons and Teddy STILL hasn't shown up?! WHICH IS WEIRD, WHERE IS TEDDY? [faceonthemilkcarton.gif]

MUTUAL ATTRACTION I love that but I also have been burned by Ausiello in the past so I'm staying cautious. I neeeeeeed (neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed) us to get Amy's POV on her feelings, because right now we know she's fond of him but like anything more than that is ambiguous at best.

Maybe what it really is -- maybe it's fan fiction come to TV? Like that episode of P&R where Donna and Jerry/Larry were soooo much better at the Newlywed Game than April and Andy were? Maybe we'll see a reversal of that; Amy and Teddy are not at all on the same level, but she and Jake *are* and that's really unnerving for her, maybe pulls the rug out from under her feet a bit?

Someone write me that fic.

I'm soooooo glad you mentioned that A.V. Club article. That's the review I asked you guys about. I just disagree w/ them re: Jake/Amy. "Weighing the ep down"? How about no? They have valid points but it just rubs me the wrong way. *rant over* Btw, what are your thoughts re: the newly released promo pics for 2x05? I feel like Jake & Amy caught Gina & Charles or something. ;D

Nah, girl, rant away. We're here for you. *listening face*

I definitely disagree that the J/A stuff is weighing the episode down. I also take umbrage with that reviewer characterizing every Jake+Amy interaction as inherently shippy; as the fandom has noted (and Carl and I noted repeatedly) Jake can (and does) interact with Amy in a purely friendly manner on repeat occasions, even though he has The Feelings for her. 

I've also mentioned my constant, ongoing "man I sympathize" situation, 'cause I went through something similar for a while, and I'll repeat what I've said on the podcast before: I've had strong feelings for a person and still had interactions with them that weren't constantly and consistently colored by my feelings for him. I think that reviewer is ready to dislike the pairing, or at least the purported "problems" (all the scare quotes) it'll cause. 

I mean, if I'm being honest: I think we're a year away from Jake and Amy actually getting together. I want to see Jake have a mature, respectable relationship (or two) and for Amy to get her headspace spelled out in the narrative. Jake is so exothermic about his emotions; we know all of them because he gives them all to us. Amy, despite her terrific, wonderful, perfectly expressive face, is playing this one close to the vest. I want more of her inner narrative before we put them together. 

J+A TOTALLY DID CATCH THEM. And I think they have a Serious Conversation (Fancy Brudgom throwback maybe?) about Boyle and Gina and that whole thing. (Also, props to Carl for finding and reblogging those pics; I totally missed them because I'm the worst.)
