She was??

I like most of her work (Especially the "Before" trilogy, of course), so I'll give this a shot.

That was pretty funny. She's got some good one liners this season

I can't believe I came back for this season at all

Marla Gibbs!

I was glad they finally tied the stories of the two schools in a bit more, but right now it still feels like an extra plotline that could have been cut. And the same possibly goes for the hacker. I want to see how it comes together in the finale…I feel like there's a lot to tie up and the only one that seems to have…

Ok… I'm just disagreeing with your comment that he can't pass as anything else.

As someone else mentioned, there are white Hispanics, but when I first heard of him (Llewellyn Davis) I had no idea he was Hispanic

I'm not from NYC but I know many people who are. Of course, almost everyone knows and/or works with people of different backgrounds, but when I look at who my friends hang out with, it seems mostly segregated (which would drive me batty).

I guess my no Stern streak continues….

I never listen to Stern, but I would for Tina. Did she talk about any other interesting stuff?

That's how I viewed it as well. I never really thought of it as disingenuous or condescending.

Exactly.

I've always wondered that. Aren't they paid to make us believe what they are saying?

I think, after "finally" winning an Oscar, Leo really nailed his speech.

Agreed. It has its dull moments, but what show - especially after 12 seasons - doesn't hit a sour note every now and again. Though I do get tired of the merry-go-round sometimes (Callie and Arizona, Jackson and April), for the most part, they can still deliver some good stories.

I had just forgotten about that musical episode and you had to go and bring it up again…and as a huge fan of the movie Memento, this episode format still didn't work for me.

I'm so disappointed in myself for continuing to watch this show.

I was not expecting him and Hannah to make out

I was just about to come back to edit my comment and mention Stoll. I was watching while I commented and he hadn't appeared yet!
