Actually, she's working at a prison due to "writers need to pair her with House in a non-traditional medical setting so he can be impressed enough to hire her later")

Honestly, I don't really care about how deep the show is or isn't. I watch for Hugh Laurie, I like the supporting cast, and I'm a sucker for procedurals. My biggest problem with the show was Huddy, and now that's gone and not coming back, so pop the champagne. The show's still pretty entertaining and it's a long way

Isn't it to declare what needs to be shit on and then shit on it regardless of whether it actually needs to be shit on?

"Dr. Adams is another in a long line of attractive, idealistic women who
think that being reasonable and vaguely maternal towards House will
bring out the best in him (I'd say right now she's about halfway between
Cameron and Thirteen)"

Wow, tough crowd.

"Yeah I guess, it was just that in the hand holding incident last season
Amy basically said 'no this isn't going to work for me' and then she
stopped doing it. There was no reaction from Sheldon. While it seemed
certain that Amy was brought into this show to be Sheldon's girlfriend,
for a while there I felt like they

Ben is complicit because he knows what Glory is capable of. He knows that if Glory lives she can do much greater harm. He is choosing his own life over not only Dawn's, but he isn't concerned about whatever secondary damage she might cause.

Yeah, if you don't have an affinity for Johnny Drama, the show will have zero appeal to you

I think these reviews are spot on. The show is watchable but nothing you'd miss if it went away. The commercials made it seem like another Odd Couple wannabe. The final result kind of is, but with something else behind it.

Except … Giles is wrong about Ben. He is not oblivious to Glory's atrocities. In fact he tries to cover them up. He even turns Dawn over to Glory's minions. That makes him not an innocent anymore, but it's dramatic irony since the audience knows this but Giles and Buffy do not. Hence, the moralizing of this scene is

OK, but I'd say (SPOILERS) that Angel's reveal is more about manipulation than destiny

There's a featurette about a live TBBT taping on the Season 4 Blu-ray, and they seemed to imply it was only one sitting, which I thought was weird since I thought it was standard to record the episode in front of two audiences (having attended tapings myself). I didn't mind the "wooooing" of Leonard since in my head I

Yeah, that's why she tried to hold his hand, kissed him when drunk, asked him to make out with her in exchange for a favor, and subtly referred to him as "heartbreaking" in this episode. She's totally in love with him and is trying to get him to come around.

I think at episode like Orpheus was needed for the larger continuity, simply because it explained how Angel went from living it up in America's past as seen on his show, to the sewer-dwelling rat-feeder he was before he came to Sunnydale. But it also had that cool Superman III style fight between Angel and Angelus.

"You never realize how antiquated laugh tracks are until you hear that
goddamn “woooooo” when a character walks out in a tuxedo. Leonard
Hofstadter would never get a “woooooo.” "

Yeah, I couldn't figure out if Amy was hanging around because she liked Leonard now, and was trying to corner him into going to the wedding. And then at the wedding she was trying to get him to dance and open up to her. So then I wondered if she was expecting Leonard to kiss her, but they took it in the opposite

Since that may have been the weakest joke of the show I'm not quite sure what that says.

Yeah, but aren't those single-camera shows and not a traditional studio audience sitcom like Big Bang?

“I have no interest in model trains, stores that sell them, nor their heartbreaking clientele.”

How deep do you expect them to analyze a sitcom?
