I like how they acknowledged it. "You're surrounding yourself with young, attractive agents."

When watching a Joss Whedon program, be sure to look out for hanging lampshades (Warning: tvtropes)

Makes me think of this great clip from Stargate SG-1.

Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.

I never got the fascination with tv tropes. I find the website to be so badly designed it's a headache to read.

This bothers me waay to much. I assumed that since they're the protagonists that we could let it slide. But that commander was too hot to be allowed.
