Plus if she was trained in Britain, which I assume she was. They're just different there, maybe it's a repertory tradition or something. But you don't tend to hear about divas so much. Look at Game of Thrones, huge cast, many of them teenagers holding their own against established actors, and not a trace of anything…

Or maybe it means there's more behind her than in front of her.

What a well-written piece. How do you do it so quickly? I'm in awe sometimes with the quality of the reviews on this site.

Renovations for new tenant. Construction schedules are ruthless.

Maybe they put in that storyline about Kalinda being with Peter because they weren't "getting along" and that gave them a reason for an estrangement. (Though I always felt impatient about Alicia's reaction, she really doesn't seem able to process anything.) I'm extremely skeptical that it's a 50-50 thing, only one of…

It was the pantry, wasn't it? Or a "maid's room".

Sure, it's a real thing. I know that. I just can't stand the idea of giving Watson someone else to be condescending to. Her mother was actually useful as someone who could make pointed observations to Joan. Giving her Alzheimer's is just a cheap device. It gave me the creeps, really, that they went that route.

Yeah, that's a terrible idea. A 66-year-old woman with Alzheimer's. They've found a new way to punish women on TV for being over 50. Plus I think she was only 60 in the first season. (I noted her age because I thought giving her Alzheimer's was ridiculous. Sherlock thought she was too old to wear high heels in an…

Wait. They got the real Stanley Cup to play the part? That's astonishing. Did it get its own credit? Did the handler? Did Myles figure the Stanley Cup did the crime? (You know what I'm talking about.)

"How does an intelligent, independent woman like Bernadette put up with this crap?" Ha ha ha. Well, aimless 20-something, it's a good question! And based on real events.

Will really animated those courtroom scenes, too, when they let him. His performance in front of the army judge in season 1 was an all-time favourite with me. That was another thing they didn't pursue, Will's exhilaration and risk-taking in the court vs. Alicia's restrained style. Will and Diane's deeply felt…

Or else snatching the Coca-cola account from Don with a pitch for "I'd like to teach the world to sing".

I agree about Peter. He comes through for her again and again. I don't see that being canny about politics necessarily makes him evil, and I don't think Alicia is easy to live with, either. When Finn told her he was seeing someone else, I thought for sure it was because he'd gotten to know Alicia as well as he wanted…

There was the investigation she did for Diane about a stalker, and I think she showed her how to use a gun. I think you have to fill in the blanks between those kinds of scenes, that they maintain a connection.

I, too, get the sense it's on Margulies' head, since she's a producer. This show lost me a bit when the characters I liked best, Cary, Kalinda, Diane and Will, got so fragmented. Alicia's brother was great, he's gone. I just don't like Alicia, the character, so I need those other ones. Don't get her, don't like her,…

Wow. All of the episodes, from all the seasons, are from Eisenhower's address?

Nicely said. I don't know, some of Amy's routine is uncomfortably close to Mrs. Roper for my taste. I do like her, but she's hardly the best thing in the show for me. If I had to pick, it would be Sheldon and Penny, but it's an ensemble show and that's what I really like.

Usually they say something at the end of a review if they're stopping. Maybe Kyle will cover two at once next time. Or maybe not. I find it amusing that AV reviewers always seem so conflicted about reviewing The Big Bang Theory.

What?

She sounds hilarious, she got all that coverage about the cancer, but it left no idea how funny she is. Good review, thanks.
