You mention, Sonia, that "nothing is resolved", but I disagree. Things have been resolved, they're just incremental. And I feel as though that's where a fair amount of the frustration towards the show stems from. Kevin admits to his shortcomings and embraces trying to be a better person towards his family. He accepts…

I don't know how you watch "Walkabout" and don't find yourself getting hooked. It's almost a universally agreed upon episode for so many (myself included) as the episode that made them willing to follow the show to the bitter end.

Todd, you keep talking about the apparent spiritual aspect of the series, and you refer to Hawley, the writer, as this universe's god. In a literal sense this is true, but the show also constantly points to an in-universe animating force, not unlike the one in Breaking Bad. In the same way justice and the triumph of…

I was simply happy that there was some weight to the story even if it was messy. They could have handled this better but come on, last week we had an episode about how old people are old. This is by far a step up in terms of story. The B-plot could have been stronger but I wasn't outright offended or annoyed as many…

I thought the episode was great for the first half. It all felt very cohesive and tightly put together There were a number of great transitions early on). And the gravity of the Red Wedding was being really well-considered. But about halfway through the episode became much messier to me. It felt like a two different…

Though I think it would have been a better episode if it merely focused on the wedding, I also understand that it would have been far too obvious that something was about to go down. As is the foreshadowing is fairly heavy. But with the more triumphant moments from Dany and, especially, Jon. it creates a nice…

I was thinking about this in tandem with the release of Arrested Development, which in its own, different way has a very non-traditional format of episodic television: does something being really cool or fun or what-have-you make up for an episode of television that just doesn't function well as an episode? I love…

Is anyone else fed up with all the constant mysteries? It feels like the mysteries have usurped the narrative to an extent. It also seems like a crutch for Moffat. All his narratives have been the mysteries about companions (River, Amy, now Clara). I kind of would just like a more straightforward narrative.

Having to broadly tell the what happened over the past seven years kind of hamstrunged them, but I appreciate how dark and pathetic they made the ultimate endpoint of where the characters are today. It felt fitting for the characters that their selfish, oblivious ways would land them in such dire, rutterless straights.

As an episode of television this was messily plotted, but I really couldn't mind because so much of it was too darn fun to be annoyed by how overstuffed it was. It was a level of "funness" (that all too subjective concept) that this season was all over the map with and never consistently hit mark on.

My problem with the episode is that not enough time was given to any particular storyline and so none of them were all that funny or satisfying.

Happy Endings was exactly the show that came to mind. Happy Endings almost never seems to care about whether the plot is actually any good and just gets in as many jokes in as possible. This was more jokes than we typically get from New Girl, and it absolutely made up for how bizarre and slightly dumb the Edgar…

Totally agree. Everyone was so committed to telling the jokes and there were so many good ones throughout that this for me was one of the funniest episodes yet.

For me the episode had the amount and quality of jokes that older seasons of HIMYM used to have. While some of the stories that generated said jokes weren't the best the show has done. It had me laughing more than it has in a long time.
