This was the first episode where I glimpsed something really interesting, that didn't make me watch solely for my die hard loyalty to Whedon and Coulson.
If he had actually Joss'd Simmons I would have been extactic - but I knew deep down that wouldn't happen. (The rescue was totally ridiculous though)

So accomplished female scientist only dreams of being pleasing to a man. And the conclusion to his appalingly egotistical behaviou towards her last week is that now she has learnt how to please him better.
Yay!

Bernadette is one of the few reasons I still turn into this show. She makes every scene awesome! I think she deserves the emmy nominations even more than Bialik who has the advantage of being 'quirky' and playing of Parsons

This episode was such a let down from the actually funny episode that preceeded it.
The just pathetically low brow "comedy" on the mysterious and weird sri lankans Sheldon met was simply not funny at all. It felt 30 years old. And then trying to make a joke on the fact that Sheldon thinks ethnic comedy is fun in

Blackadder.
Totally.
That last scene - knockout!

The first half was passable - and then it went completely off the rails and into the dung heap.
Jim was the most insufferably noble hero mansplaining to Lisa and Maggie how great they are. Lisa being so swept away by his amazing goodness she forgave him for being a dishonest douchebag.
Will and the producers being

You're too harsh - this was the funniest episode in ever! Only the Mac/Will scenes brought it down. 
Charlie was on fire! Saint Jim actually made an honest-to-god mistake that wasn't the fault of a female character. Elliot sparring with Sloan made my longing for a Sloan/Don/Elliot/Gary/Neil-spinoff reach new intense

An actually bearable and at times (dare I say it) enjoyable episode.
Apart from the few cringe inducing scenes.

Of course. We don't know how to send an email or drive a car and are baffled by skype! 
Also, we need men to lecture us how we comport ourself outside the office and if we ever let a man down we should be punished forever and ever.

I had such great hopes after last episode and I'm stuck wattching this rehash of old leftovers. 
Hallie inexplicably turning down a romantic evening and expensive hotel room to drag along a couple ofa barely-friends.
Maggie happening to spend the evening drinking at that precise hotel bar. Jim lecturing her on secrecy

Very suspenseful, but I feel this episode veered off track with that train heist. Awfully convenient the wagon they wanted was at the end of the train and on a bridge. Honestly, does that particular wagon always end up in the same spot on the train? And while the thing with the kid was very dramatic it was also such a

I am more inclined to frgive the convoluted poisoning plot now that you pointed out the change in tone of Walter from waiting by the pool to barricading himself in the house, and of the Huell scene at Sauls (also explains why he was so insistent Jesse come over). The one problem lies with Brock actually eating the

Love this show to death and everyone in it!
That said, at this juncture I am totally rooting for Gus - which feels kind of strange because  realise we should really be investe din Walter's fate. 
But Gus is so cool, so suave, so cold-blooded revenge planning awesome!!!

I am just stunned someone could watch that gripping flashback scene with Gus and then come up with something so stupid as to say it should have been cut up into small episodes or narrated!!!
Thel look on his face when Tio shot Max! The interaction between the two men at present. A++

The biggest problem with that line is that it shows Sorkin doesn't really comprehend that socially speaking it is a major difference spreading nude pics like this of a woman than a man. 
It's a power play made to shame single women who, as Maggie points out in a side story, shouldn't admit to liking sex openly. I think

I agree and I feel really frustrated about that! They have a really intense, interesting actress and they've wasted her. Such a shame.

Sloan and Don in the office was so good it almost felt like a West Wing episode. The chemistry between those two is phenomenal, and I don't mean it in a sexy-fun-time way but just as two actors bouncing lines off each others. I guess it's too much to hope for that they redo the show to focus 80% on those two…

You missed the true heart of the possum story. When Jesse talks about how stupid the animal is, that it thinks that by staying in the periphery of eye sight it wont be noticed. He is, of course, talking about himself. And at the end of the episode Walter springs it on him: he knows he's been skimming the meth.
Jesse,

I completely agree. I liked Olivia Munnbefore but was really nervous she wouldn't be able to hold her own - now she owns every scene she's in! At first I groaned when Sorkin extended the love triangle to include Sloan/Don but Don is also a character that has been given a lot more depth and likeability than I could
