Worst of all, it seems to me somewhat out of character for a young professional just starting after years of dedication and doing well in a great firm, and so driven as she's been showed, to suddenly decide to go full stop. But I guess the plot demanded it. Agreed also that it could've been handled better re:politics,…

I think the show was indicating something: that Alicia *perceived* Caitlin as scheming, up to something nefarious, etc… Like another commenter pointed out, she projected many things on Caitlin that she isn't happy with in herself, so that explains everything from the moment she wanted to hire the other applicant.

I left a comment like this on another thread before reading this. Glad to see I'm not the only one. What I can't decide is if the pregnancy is part of the plot or the plot was started afterwards.

I thought that he had orchestrated the whole thing, beginning possibly with the pregnancy itself or at least with Isabel running to the other guy to smear Colin. That way she produces the fraud needed to get rid of the other guy, since he becomes disqualified (much surer strategy than trying to win a vote). I know it…

I just got around to watch this, and I realize I'm super late to the party, but I think the review talking about a "red herring" is missing that bit of information: most or all of those "clues" (especially last week's) were from Alicia's point of view, and reflected more what *she* saw in Caitlin than what the writers…

If only Jonathan Nolan would convince his brother to cast the guy that plays Fusco as Harvey Bullock on Rises…

Shouldn't we use all this amazing energy for something? For example, funding the porno that was supposed to be in the works but fell through. I want it done by the guys that did the TNG one, but starring the actual cast.

Perhaps they'll say the same about the Modern Family reviews and comments about  Sara Hyland's feet.

If this doesn't convince NBC to keep the show, I don't know what will.

I like that theory, but then they should have showed him botching the smoked meats too. The ceramics being wrong makes total sense, he doesn't have to know how to do that, but I would think someone accustomed to designing entire buildings that don't collapse can make a board stand on 4 legs and support some weight. I…

I can't really agree on two counts: 1) I do think Robin is super hot, but I understand that that may be caused by something more than her mere looks, and 2) the character hasn't really been propped up to be a paragon of beauty in my recollection. Yes, they've showed her as being hot, but not particularly hotter or the…

I loved things like the Patrice cutaway (favorite joke of the night, I think) but many things were entirely too predictable, like Ted's cup leaking (could that have been saved with different directing, like camera angles or stuff?).

I cannot agree more, although it has subsided a little the past few episodes.

Damn that's a good idea!

I think you're pretty alone there, pretty much everyone on this "board", including the reviewer and yours truly, found him rather obnoxious.

I know I'm really late to the party, but this was the thing that bugged me the most about a very enjoyable episode (not mediocre by a long shot, just not so momentous as for example last week's). I don't really like it when a show makes some artificial high stakes and then casually dismiss it a few episodes later, but…

I know I will probably be branded as predictable to say the least, but I really like "Help I'm Alive". But the thing is that it's such an amazing coincidence that I re-discovered the band on my trip to New York last year, I listened to that album pretty much all the time during my stay there, and then in the middle of…

@avclub-31d08e66ac5b3a4f66a9f76a340169b8:disqus That is how I tend to see things. The first images I saw of that show, I was all "What is Don doing with Sucre in drag?"

I think the episodes @avclub-50cdf52b4612bd5b419e775ddfc08314:disqus mentions are the proof that your point is right: they do gave little time together, perhaps because of intrinsic limitations of the characters, or the writer's, and those were the times they admitted to it.

It's actually Don, who after Work it! decided the transvestite thing was his kind of thing.
