For those of you who still do not watch LBD, change that status immediately. Just follow this link:

It's the link for the very first episode. No pressure, but I hope to convert some of you by the time the year is out. You'll thank me.
The thing about this web series though, is that there's a lot of spinoffs that show other characters' perspectives throughout the series. Today's episode showed that of Gigi Darcy (for those of you unacquainted with the book/characters I cannot help you otherwise this post would be too long!). We find ourselves tracking Darcy as he fearlessly treks to Orange County, looking for the pernicious Wickham. He has yet to accomplish the task, but he does say to his beloved baby sister, "I will find him..." to which I added my own epexegesis, "... and properly kick his ass."
No, he didn't say that in the video, but come on, let's face it. It's implied. One cannot go to jail for making a sex tape with a non-minor and then putting it on the Internet. But one can suffer the consequences at the hand of the valiant, dedicated Darcy. If you're interested in watching today's episode, here it is!
