Totally agree. I generally enjoy Ann's reaction shots and talking heads,  and I like Rashida Jones a lot, but her friendship with Leslie is what makes me really love her and is what will make me really miss her. Plus, the pregnancy stuff with Chris has been a more interesting storyline for her than some of the other…

He's seriously one of my favorite characters on TV right now. I love him and I love Leslie individually so much; together, they're one of my favorite TV couples ever, right up there with Zoe+Wash.

@avclub-71d02d84e9250a644a3b67f818871eac:disqus My point wasn't that Skye would understand the physics and biology technobabble. My point was that she spends so much of her own time speaking in technobabble that she would be way less inclined to identify herself first-and-foremost as a "high school dropout" in that…

@avclub-54df2368f496d934724b7254b1934721:disqus Joss was never the lead writer of Angel. He had other showrunners holding down the fort while he focused on Buffy (and starting in 2002 when he was making Firefly, he delegated showrunning on Buffy as well).

Don't forget the serial killer vamp from "Helpless." That was easily the scariest episode of the series to me.

Is there not some irony to them literally referring to themselves as "Anonymous" if, as you claim, they are motivated by their egos?

That annoyed me so much because Skye is presumably deeply well-versed in hacker technobabble. She should be the last person on Earth doing the stupid "Speak English!" bit but the writers keep putting her girl-next-door relatability as a higher priority than her competence or personality and it can be very annoying at…

Carrie Mathison by way of Debra Morgan.

He's not even good for amazing meta-jokes a la Bobby Draper's "I'm Bobby 5."

Chris' "I'm glad you're alright" when Dana came home made me literally laugh out loud. Making fun of Chris for having nothing to do is always funny, but when the writers half-assedly try to give him something to do it's even funnier.

Not only that, but he also gets less central. The Wire starts off as The McNulty Show but gradually makes him less and less of the point-of-view character, at least until season 5.

I'm not sure whether it's "crazy women" or "crazy people with psychiatric diagnoses" that the show is aiming for there.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Especially since Saul became so irrationally attached to Aileen.

But it's Saul. He's been working with Muslims and people from the Arab world his entire professional career. Presumably, he has an extremely extensive knowledge of Islam and the region. It's just completely implausible that he would make Islamophobic comments.

Yeah, but this is a bit different. The way things seem now, she can never work with or interact with anyone in the CIA ever again. It was already straining credibility more than a bit to have Saul visit her in the hospital, given the potential for him to be exposed.

What's really bugging me about this season is that I can't even tell if the writers have some sort of payoff in mind to some of these storylines. Like, with Saul's behavior, I can't tell if that is actually building somewhere and we're meant to find him extremely off-putting and be confused by how different he is from…

I think @avclub-13d3febf4a28ac3f6f97d3b706b9d58f:disqus is right about Satan as personification of evil vs. the character of Lucifer.

Yeah but at least his son Frank has been pretty successful recently.

Okay then. He ain't that humble.
