Recently, this website posted their 100th post, and this anniversary had me in a nostalgic mood. I decided to revisit my very first post.

After last week’s lackluster outing focusing on Emma (Jennifer Morrison), I was simply happy to shift the focus onto someone else. Plus: metaphors, metaphors everywhere!
