Hey guys, Wilfred season 3 just got added to Netflix. If you haven't watched the show, what's wrong with you? It's Elijah Wood getting stoned with an Australian man in a dog suit and a David Lynch level exploration of philosophy at the same time. Get on it, jerks.

I really liked the show, but I missed Season 3, so that's good to hear.

Avatar: The Last Airbender started in almost a decade ago. If you were in elementary school when the show started you would be in high school right now, so a lot of teenagers who watched the original show when they were kids are really into it now and are also making up a big part of the internet community surrounding it.

Kristen Schaal also shows up for a few episodes, which is always great.

People who were teenagers during the original series and who watch for the very occasional moments where Korra does what Avatar did so well: transcend the medium of cartoon for children and become something undeniably greater.

Does season 3 get better toward the end? I only got like halfway through before I got tired of it because it got so boring and it started to get to be the same thing every episode of Wilfred being an insufferable piece of poo poo the whole episode, but oh he was actually trying to teach Ryan some kind of life lesson in the process, how deep.

When does season 4 start anyway? I remember seeing a commercial a few weeks ago saying it was going to be the final season.

The finale is hilariously dumb. I'm not sure it's worth pushing through everything else though.

I'm not even sure I necessarily disagree with this but it's probably the single most pretentious, insufferable way you could possibly have phrased it.

Add Korra to the list of things that must be quarantined in its own thread while it has one. For those keeping track that makes it the fourth after Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and Adventure Time. You can poison your own threads but we want the others to stay healthy!

I accidentally ate at the cafe from Twin Peaks a couple weeks ago. I was passing through a town called North Bend in Washington when we stopped. Apparently that was where the cafe scenes in Twin Peaks were filmed. The coffee was pretty good.

Not because of spoilers, though. Just because the TD thread in TVIV was loving awful for the most part.
