I can understand that you want this all to make sense because that's what life does, but they just aren't going there for you. As Ron said to Leslie, He's selfish and you're not. That was true enough for me and they'd done a great job setting it up the 2 preceding shows. Love to have an asshole like Justin come in,…

I am not fond of Valentine's Day, but this episode was really a LOVE story. All the true ups and downs, forms and phases of love on this weird planet. Great show.

Pete is the Greek chorus who provides the only truly sane, disinterested commentary on the pathetic behaviors of his cohorts. He's an endangered species.

That was a great line. He's a jackanapes, that Pierce.

Ohhhh….CUTE women! Thank god for that. I am in love with the eyebrows of Abed, they have a life of their own.

…and once it wore thin there was nothing in the center of it. I agree, a weaker episode that was dependent on past associations and couldn't stand on its own as funny.

This episode made me very sad as I'm a bit depressed about politics lately and I just know that Nick Newport, Jr. could become a Senator overnight in line for the Presidency and the Sweetums lobby would take over the world turning us all into corn syrup rush come down zombies. Pawnee is just a microcosm of the…

Just read Hapworth. It is quite believable to me (no irony here) that the person who wrote that letter might be prone to suicide. That, however, didn't make me want to read the letter—-which sadly is too often the case in real life. There seems to be some desperation in the tone.

Guillermo del Toro. Totally get away from the American mindset.

Maybe it's not entirely "natural" to be worrying that your Japanese sex pillow is jealous of the ottoman.

…so glad NOT to have Ken Jeong in this ep it increased my joy. Also Abed's solitary closing tap dance was beautiful to me—he is kind of a Charlie Chaplin, Steve Martin type I think, sort of comic/existential aura. So much of any TV/film/play whatever is how much you actually like to spend time with the characters. …

justin
Definitely expecting something weird, dark or pathetic to emerge about Justin as he's certainly been set up for that—but P&R does seem invested in surprising us. In any case, I don't see him as a regular as you can't play off his personality type productively for long.

It's true that none of her film portrayals exactly leap to mind. She couldn't like La Streep, for instance, say that she was merely the representative for the incredible women she's played on screen. Brooke in The Break Up? (OK, I had to check IMDb). She was OK in The Good Girl.

I think you're flogging a dead horse…

District 9
Can anyone tell me what it means after Ann tells Mark she's rented District 9 to watch that night and they hug and he says something like, "I know, dark ending!". I haven't seen the movie, know it has to do with ET's, "prawns," racism, etc., but that doesn't help me get the reference in relation to hug,…

More James Franco…less Julianne Moore (let's face it…not just everyone can do comedy).

Cerie (Katrina) has lost the rosy bloom required to pull off all the generation gap jokes she's been given in the past. She has a lot more comedic ability than has been utilized I think, so they should give her some other kind of purpose anyway.

Yeah, send him to some quiet place out in the desert where he can go on long walks and eat healthy food and attend meetings twice a day where he says, "Hi, my name is Nathan and I'm a TV critic…"

Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.

Rabin is right and I so DO wish he weren't. 30 Rock has lost all creative zing, there's no spark among any of the characters and watching it I feel all the writers must have gone brain dead. That's not saying it couldn't revive itself, but I can't see being in total denial about its current quality just out of…
