Putting Kenzie in a ponytail, hoop earrings, and sweatpants does not make her Mexican. Neither does her accent. This is an amazing amount of racefail, wow.
("Didn't we used to have a blog where we can complain about this?"
"That is literally all we used that blog for.")
ETA:
Show: "It could be an audio file, a thumb drive or MP3 player, or a CD ROM."
Becky: "Probably not a CD ROM, since this show doesn't take place in 1995."
Rachel: "Maybe the protected files are an AOL installation."

NCIS: LA 4x1
"OH MY GOD, you're telling me that giant wall of computers can crack a secret code from Tehran and steal the Iranian info, but IT CAN'T get to google translate to check what it says in Farsi?"
"You should put that on our blog, which exists solely because we hate NCIS:LA but are too lazy to stop watching it.

NCIS: LA
"So someone we don't know who he is died?"
"Well, in fairness, if we learned anyone's names, we might know who he is."
"That would ruin everything I enjoy about the show!"

KORRA KORRA KORRA KORRA KORRA
"You know what Korra doesn't do real well?"
"Is it wait patiently?"
So when the terrible, terrible movie of Avatar: The Last Airbender was announced, I (like everyone else) got curious and watched the tv show. AND IT WAS SO GOOD. And then Rachel rolled her eyes and was so not into it, until I kind of accidentally watched it for 14 hours in a row on Thanksgiving and she cared against her will, because the fact of the matter is that A:TLA was amazing. It's so well put together that it can pull in basically any skeptic.
Obviously my favorite character is Zuko, because hi, troubled anti-hero with a heart of gold and so many feeeeeeeeeelings. That is kind of my favorite things. But if A:TLA had been around when I was 12 (which I suppose is actually the target audience), my absolute favorite would have been Toph. A seriously badass 14-year-old who yells things like "I'M THE GREATEST EARTH BENDER OF ALL TIME!" and is RIGHT, who can basically beat up everyone and take out a hundred thugs at once, who'd blind but still better able to take care of herself in a fight than anyone else, who's got anger issues but occasional flashes of real insight, and basically WHO IS AWESOME.
So when the creators announced they were doing a sequel series, about an avatar who's a teenage girl who's aggressive and impatient but phenomenally talented, who's basically a super hero in training, set in a world that's a steampunk take on Beijing with jazz-Chinese fusion music, where pro-bending is the sport of choice, and her animal companion is a polar bear-dog, and she wants to help people an do good but accidentally busts shit up, and she's got a wise but harried mentor and some fun kid sidekicks and makes friends with some brothers who include well-meaning comic relief and troubled and brooding and and and and and
THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE AND I WANT THE WHOLE THING RIGHT NOOOOOW I DON'T WANT TO WAIT A WEEK I'M IMPATIENT LIKE KORRA AND THIS IS ALL SO GREAT OMG IT IS THE BEST

NCIS (LA)
NCIS:LA, I am the only person under 50 watching the Gay Adventures of Robin and LL Cool J, and there are a LOT of things wrong with your show.
Bringing back that character that everyone hated and no one missed is NOT a good way to go about solving them. He's the Deana Troi of this show, pls don't bring him back.
Also tech!Willow's hair is getting worse and worse. LOOK IN TO THAT.

I will see it one million times
"Oooh, look, a trailer for Brave!"
"I don't know why I'm not more excited for that. It looks great. But like, what is it about?"
"It's about how she's going to rescue herself."
"But what's the plot?"
"THE PLOT IS THAT THERE'S THIS GIRL AND SHE'S AWESOME. THE GREATEST PLOT EVER."

there's a new boy band thing happening on my couch
Two conversations we have had about One Direction tonight:
"Autocorrect turned 'Harry gives no fucks' to 'Harry gives no ducks.'"
"Well... Does Harry give ducks?"
"I don't know! If he does, they might be secret."
"THAT EXPLAINS HIS HAIR. IT'S FULL OF SECRETS. SECRET DUCKS."
and then later:
"Louis says EVERYTHING like he's the missing kid from Roundhouse. He just... he just YELLS."
"That's his role in the band. He yells things and wears a funny hat."
"Well you NEED that in a boy band, don't you?"
"Yes."

"I don't know! If he does, they might be secret."
