I've seen that going around, but I don't understand how that's a better ship name than Mash.

Perhaps I worded my response wrong. I wasn't criticizing the core of her message at all - I think what she wrote was very fair and very logical. It made me like her more (and I thought that was impossible).

*Confused that you say this:

Adelaide Kane ranted about it on her Twitter (@adelaidekane, start about ten posts down and then work your way up if interested).

*This has been bothering me - did they accidentally remove a phrase from the opening titles?

The interview is mind-boggling. He, seemingly with a straight face, references all these lofty themes that came full circle in the finale. As if the show had a very straightforward, human direction and message from start to finish.

Not to mention that Kyle took an unnecessary risk by killing her. If his goal was to bring Zoe back to life, and, as far as he knew, Madison was the only one who could definitely do it, wouldn't his energy have been better spent forcing her to perform the resurrection?

Also, and maybe I missed something, but what happened to Queenie? She just stopped competing and started cheering for Cordelia. I'm pretty sure she didn't ever fail one of the tests (that she didn't resurrect Zoe shouldn't have mattered since, as Myrtle later explained to Madison, they hadn't gotten to the…

This finale was doomed before it began. Of all the potential threads to put at the center of the show, it focused on the LEAST interesting one possible. There was never any reason to care about who became Supreme.

Season one of Parks is definitely inferior, but I wouldn't advise newcomers to avoid it completely. I always thought the awards show episode and the one in which we meet Andy's band were reasonably good.

They seemed to record the "Next Time on ___" as part of the end-credits for all the CBS comedies. It then reverts to whatever CBS would normally show in that promo slot (which happened to be TCO this week).

I'm confused - why would someone wear their own name around their neck?

I saw the calligraphy and Renaissance Faire thing (right down to how she pronounced Ren-ay-sahnce) less as defining characteristics and more as cutesy jokes.

To me, here's the only gray area:

More importantly, this show has always built itself on the notion that likes attract.

I don't recall that being the backlash at all. I know some people made fun of her for the "sexy baby" thing on 30 Rock and for looking too much like a hybrid of Smulders and Hannigan, but I don't recall anyone saying they should have gone with a big name.

I get that - I was referring to their ability to write a female-centric version of the show.

Bays and Thomas gave reason to believe both are possibilities at the TCA tour.

Of course - you knew the twist was always going to be that the clerk was rooting for Ted all along.

Noticed it - glad it was the writers' mistake and not my own (I was thinking I might have forgotten some explanation in "No Tomorrow" about why they celebrated St. Patrick's Day in April)
