cappadocius started it!

Sometimes this show goes so far into sitcom cliche it confuses me. Othertimes, like with the Nick/Jess relationship they take a small thing another show would obsess over for a whole episode and just refreshingly breeze through it.

Jess made a "when we're married" slip and it wasn't the focus of the episode and Nick just kind of forgave her the sentence immediately. Small detail, but I liked it.

Nah, "Coach and CeCe" in that sentence was shorthand for "the Coach and CeCe relationship," which is a singular noun. Also, if you use the plural verb there its ambiguous whether you mean the relationship is horrible or both the characters are horrible.

I was kind of happy that the good guys had a morally questionable slightly crazy businessman on their side. It was odd and refreshing and awesome. Everyone on Team Avatar has been so morally upright before.

Yes, Raising Hope isn't the best comedy in the world (although it is quite good), but it gets major points from me just for having all the major characters in non-glamorous dead-end jobs, which is not that common in TV world.

Friday Night Lights was about football in the say way Bunheads was about dancing. Which is to say, it was pretty incidental and just an excuse to get the characters interacting with each other.

That moment with Zuko and Iroh reunited in the Avatar finale is one of my favorite scenes in all of televsion. And it's not like its complex or filled with great theme or anything, it's just so damn heart-warming.

Double Jeopardy, coming this Fall.

Remember season 1 of Parks and Rec when they said it was following the Office template too closely? To be fair, it probably was, but then the writers shifted the characters just a bit and everything ended up pretty good.

The most frustrating part about the Daily Beast article to me was:

I love this episode but that fight scene between the League and the Ultimen is one of those "we need action in the third act, let's make our two superhero groups fight for a really flimsy reason" things. I mean, the action was good, but I would've liked a better motivation than 'Wind Dragon is 'ackin all cray cray…

When you're honeymoon phase isn't even a honeymoon phase…I don't know why you would go back to that marriage.

I mean that in the nicest way possible. The Flash is awesome.

Apparently you just have to ask him nicely to stop?

You see it in Tabula Rasa for a couple seconds too. Luthor is looking at the design specs for the robot and it says 'A.M.A.Z.O.' at the top (it's about 12:50 into the first episode).

This is such a great showcase episode for Luthor. Not only with all that humanistic philosophy talk (which was such a sudden right turn for the episode that I still love it), but we actually see Luthor in legitimate mortal danger, something he's never had to face against Superman.

He gets more than his fair share of good episodes later anyway (The Ties that Bind, Divided We Fall, The Great Brain Robbery, Flash and Substance).

You know…like…there was no getting off the island because the door opened like the other door and because they gave him traveler's cheques, and that people like singing and people who wear odd wigs are symbolic.
