I agree Celeste is a parody (and also agree that people should obviously be able to make fun of pretentious academics), but I just don't think this is really a show that can sustain outright/unrealistic parody given how emotionally raw it tries to be most of the time.

You're right, I meant Vic - I'll change it now. Thanks.

I had this thought too, but my sense was that it was being played at least a bit for laughs as Maura tried to find someone to get drunk with (meaning that, as much empathy as the show tries to have for those characters, it's not above using them as part of a joke, which I think is probably a good thing).

That aired with this one as the rerun.

I did watch it later! It was really, really boring.

I wasn't around to review that one live. Shockingly, no one wanted to watch this season.

(In case it hasn't been obvious to everyone, I'm grading this season against itself w/ generally lower standards, because the other way would just be super depressing and get repetitive quick.)

:-( Sorry, must have forgotten to put down this pipe!

Maybe I'm splitting hairs - saw/bought into a lot of Evil Dean speculation, but just figured he'd get consumed by the Blade. Not sure how I missed the demon stuff.

I thought he was going to get himself killed at the end of the episode (possibly because of Robert).

Yeah, they mentioned it. Not that it wasn't funny here, but there was enough stuff going on that not all of it made it in the review.

Thanks dude, can you tell me an episode in which Huey is actually a domestic terrorist and not just set up by Ed Wuncler (other than "The Color Ruckus," where he doesn't have to go through with his plan anyway)? Just because there have been like, three episodes that acknowledge that's an important part of the…
