Not quite the clip I was looking for, but Aussie comedian Carl Barron has also addressed it:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leFTHGIjvMY&feature=youtu.beKhazidheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833833078199356986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-15380124300714274042012-07-22T13:17:33.814-07:002012-07-22T13:17:33.814-07:00Now when I see your comments, I'm going to say...Now when I see your comments, I'm going to say your name (Karl) in my head in what I think qualifies as an Australian accent.

I still think it's a great show, but really only thought that from season 2 which has a few particularly good episodes.Khazidheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833833078199356986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-1285097355516316742012-07-19T17:15:30.161-07:002012-07-19T17:15:30.161-07:00gotta watch Sherlock...gotta watch Sherlock...Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-19523014363862775312012-07-18T20:38:32.767-07:002012-07-18T20:38:32.767-07:00Haha a lot of those alternatives were my second ch...Haha a lot of those alternatives were my second choices (except Sherlock, because I haven't seen it yet).Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621784714002726363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-48957521091148305462012-07-18T20:32:49.717-07:002012-07-18T20:32:49.717-07:00The Best Single Line of Dialogue category was real...The Best Single Line of Dialogue category was really hard, especially with all of the quality Game of Thrones options. I've posted various pictures/gifs of Hannah's quote on my tumblr though, because seriously: it's me. I couldn't bring myself to pick anything else.<br /><br />Definitely right about how much good TV is right now :)Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621784714002726363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-77238859682308613092012-07-18T20:14:21.485-07:002012-07-18T20:14:21.485-07:00I agree with many of the choices already listed, a...I agree with many of the choices already listed, and as there were often many tough choices I sometimes went with different options purely for the sake of variety<br /><br />Best Cast - Sherlock <br />Best "Hell Yeah" Moment - Tyrion rallying the troops and leading them into battle (Game of Thrones)<br />Best Pop Culture Reference - The Shining plot (Psych). I probably prefer the Community episodes a little more though.<br />Best Unexpected Plot Twist - Moriarty pretends to be Richard Brook (Sherlock)<br />Guiltiest TV Pleasure - The Lying Game. Honestly I'd prefer not to watch it, but each week there I was, finding myself in front of the TV again.<br />Neverending Subplot That Most Needs to Be Resolved - When will the Scranton office shut down for good (The Office). (Obviously How I Met Your Mother is the real choice for this option)<br />Most Redemptive Character in a Sucky Show - Faye (The Secret Circle). Not that it was a sucky show, but at the same time it was also one that didn't draw me in.<br />Best Single Episode (Drama) - "The Reichenbach Fall" (Sherlock) <br />Best Single Episode (Comedy) - "The Butterfly Effect Effect" (Happy Endings). I don't really pay attention to episode titles, but looking it up this was the one with bear Max.<br />Best Romantic Relationship - Peter and Elisabeth Burke (White Collar). There were a few good contenders, but in the end I prefer relationships that last, and where the partners are comfortable with each other and still make efforts together.<br />Worst Romantic Relationship - Since I wouldn't call Joffrey and Sansa romantic it would be either Ryan and Kelly (The Office) or Aria and Ezra (Pretty Little Liars). After refreshing my memory with this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKkbMBy_WMs), definitely Ryan and Kelly.<br />Best HoYay! Couple - Apart from Troy and Abed, Community, I'd give honourable mentions to Bo and Kensi (Lost Girl) and Myka and H.G. Wells (Warehouse 13) <br />Best Single Line of Dialogue - "Dear diary, a chipmunk asked me my name today. I told him it was Joe. That lie will haunt me forever." - Damon (The Vampire Diaires) <br />Best "WTF" Moment - Idris is the TARDIS (Doctor Who) <br />Worst "WTF" Moment - Deb thinks she's in love with brother Dexter (Dexter). Was going to be Amanda is pregnant with Jack's baby (Revenge) until I saw this option<br />Least Favorite Actor - Ed Helms (The Office) <br />Least Favorite Actress - Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead). Nearly entirely due to the way she pronounces Carl (since mine is also Karl). I get that the American accent is a factor in the pronounciation, but when other actors on the same show say it it doesn't phase me, just the way she says it. The way she says it sounds more like coral or carol to me and it bugs me every time. <br />Most Deserved Cancellation of the 2011-12 Season - Ringer <br />Favorite Show to Hate Watch - 2 Broke Girls <br />Best Imported Show on US TV - Sherlock. Also Doctor Who<br />Actor From a Cancelled 2011-12 Show Most Deserving of a New Show - Adam Baldwin, Chuck.<br />Favorite Showrunner - Dan Harmon, Community. From the sounds of it he was one of the key reasons why the show worked, so I'm not sure what to expect from upcoming seasons.<br />Best Villain - James Moriarty (Sherlock). It may not seem that way but I've been trying to restrict how many times I've chosen Sherlock, but it just hit so many notes right with me, and since it started the TV year off on a high note that I can't seem to help myself. If I couldn't choose it then Mr. Gold (Once Upon a Time) <br />Least Villainous Villain - No I'm forcing myself not to do it this time as well *cough* Irene Adler (Sherlock) *cough*, so Stannis Baratheon (Game of Thrones)Khazidheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833833078199356986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-17346141804061247632012-07-18T09:08:52.939-07:002012-07-18T09:08:52.939-07:00Sam clafin as Finnick odair?!?!
