“Sappho!” Sunny shrieked, which meant something like “I’d be very pleased to hear a poem of yours!”

Julian Bashir: All right – fine! But I can’t wait to get back to Deep Space Nine and see your face when you find out that I never existed!

“‘E is always so thoughtful,” purred Fleur adoringly, stroking Bill’s nose. Ginny mimed vomiting into her cereal behind Fleur. Harry choked over his cornflakes, and Ron thumped him on the back.

Buffy: Well, this is nice. I-it’s a little bare, but a dash of paint, a few throw pillows… call it home!
Darla: Who the hell are you?
Buffy: You mean there’s actually someone in this town who doesn’t know already? Whew, that’s a relief, I’m telling you! Having a secret identity in this town is a job of work.
Xander: Buffy, we bail now, right?
Thomas: Not yet!
Buffy: Okay, first of all, what’s with the outfit? Live in the now, okay? You look like DeBarge! Now, we can do this the hard way, or… well, actually there’s just the hard way.
Darla: That’s fine with me!
Buffy: Are you sure? Now, this is not gonna be pretty. We’re talking violence, strong language, adult content…

But the Baudelaires had learned long ago that temper tantrums, however fun they may be to throw, rarely solve whatever problem is causing them.

Recap: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – “Turn, Turn, Turn”
A lot has happened since we last left Coulson’s crew just one week ago. In the real world, Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released this past weekend, setting box office records and generally getting rave reviews. In the process it changed almost everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and by extension our beloved Agents of SHIELD. (Needless to say, there will be spoilers ahead for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.) Never before has a film had this level of impact on a TV show, and tonight’s episode resolved several mysteries, altered the lives of our heroes for good, and set the show on its path going forward. So without further ado, let’s jump into “Turn, Turn, Turn,” written by our married showrunners Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen and directed by Vincent Misiano.

Trailer Tuesday: The Giver
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies, since I’ve always found them to be fascinating.
The Giver, by Lois Lowry, came out when I was 9 years old, and I think may be the only person my age who didn’t read it. I’m not sure how I missed it, as I read a lot and even had a copy of it, but somehow I never got around to it. So I was more than a little intrigued by the trailer for long-awaited film adaptation and by the reaction of fans of the book. Based on what I’ve read, I think it’s safe to say that this may not be the most faithful film adaptation in recent years. Take a look at the trailer below, and read on for my thoughts:
