I'm loving this show, but Abigail getting to and from Minnesota unnoticed is driving me nuts. I'll be really bummed if there isn't some kind of plausible explanation for that before the season is over. The fact that Freddie pointed out that the money from the house sale would go to the victims' families only amplified

I have no reason to believe this, other than I think it would be funny, but I'm betting that there was a little eyeball or spleen juice in that dressing.

I thought so too, especially in the huge blow up of the photo in the morgue/lab/whatever that room is. From a distance, when you can't make out that it's an awful assemblage of body parts, it was lovely.

Agreed. I was hesitant about this show too. I love the BBC show and ordinarily can't stand Lucy Liu, so I'd planned on skipping Elementary entirely. But my love of all things Jonny Lee Miller convinced me to give it a shot, and I'm so glad I did. Even the Lucy Liuness of it all is OK with me, which is something I

I get what you mean, but there was Proopcast coverage in the past and I, for one, really liked it. I guess there's some merit to the argument that it's variations on the same few themes week after week, but couldn't the same be said for a lot of other podcasts? Not having guests might make the write up more difficult

Count me in too. And while we're at it, what happened to the coverage of The Smartest Man in the World? Podmass has been Proopless for weeks.

Yeah, the whole box in the closet was just stupid. And why was the paternity test done in the first place considering Teddy is determined to be the kid's father regardless of what the DNA test says?

I have a hard time swallowing the Gunnar as an 'outlaw' thing, but I think that's mostly because I want to wash his hair so badly.

After reading through the comments here, I'm wondering if I'm watching the same show as everybody else is. The snarky fun of hate watching, my love for Connie Britton and the hotness that is Chip Esten are all that are keeping me onboard at this point. I don't know what happened, but something has felt off to me ever

And a ridiculous wardrobe. It's been driving me nuts for ages. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was she's got going on there. And then, last night it hit me — hillybilly mermaid grandma! I know fuck all about country music and even I knew those boots she wore to perform at the Opry were inexcusable.

I don't think Barney should stand up to Robin's dad instead of her doing it  herself. I agree she needs to finally tell him off herself. What I'm trying, albeit badly, to say is that I think Barney should tell Robin Sr. how wrong he is about Robin because it's something he needs to hear and needs to be said. In my

I guess what I'm questioning gizmo1492 is if Ted can ever get over Robin the way that I think you want him to. Even if they were to sit down and lay all their cards on the table, would that really make that lingering pull Ted feels for her go away? I don't think so. If anything, I think it puts their continued

I don't think she had any idea what she expected when she made that call. I don't think it was a test and I agree that even if Barney had shown up the conversation would not have been anything like the one she had with Ted. To me, it seemed like one of those calls you make when you know you're freaking out and just

Was anybody else hoping Barney would use his Lasertag date with Robin's dad as an opportunity to tell him to fuck off? For a second there, when they split into teams, I thought that's where this was going. I get why Robin can't do it herself, although every time her dad shows up I really wish she would, Barney sure as

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the mother, whoever this poor woman ends up being. Ted's gonna be a lot of work.

gizmo1492 I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree with you. How many actual people who have been in a situation like Ted's ever get actual closure? (For that matter, how many people stay this close with their exes, a question I believe Victoria posed at one point). Sure, this is TV and there's always a

I thought the melancholy was the perfect way to end Ted-Robin. It rang true.

Me too. I really like that idea, and the more I think about it, the more I think AVClub Med has nailed it. Why else would the box still be there? After all the trouble they've gone to to make Barney sincerely want to marry Robin to have him ruin the whole thing by duding out would be an enormous let down. I'm probably

Why? No snark, I'd really like to know what you think hasn't already been done with these two or needs to be revisited.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Me!
I just wanted to kick Ted in the nuts throughout this whole episode. At some point he's gotta grow up, right? Assuming that the mother and the children are actual people and not just delusions or figments of his imagination. That would actually be an interesting twist IMO, but of course
