When Hauser started causing them the 63s I started thinking about that Star Trek Voyager episode The 37s, about a bunch of people from 1937 who were kidnapped by aliens and disappeared (including Amelia Earhart).

I think the guys returning are being compelled to commit their crimes for some reason. Note when Nelson shed a tear as he kidnapped the boy at the beginning. Like I said before, it doesn't make much sense for a guy to be thrown 50 years into the future and to just start giving in to his baser natures without some…

Well obviously that's the way the scene plays out on the surface. But their tone and body language suggested a deeper subtext to the line, as if there was something between them about having actual kids, ie a family.

"it's apparent that there's a history between her and Hauser, and it's
further underlined by the way he walks around her workstation, gently
touching her sweater and glasses in a decidedly familiar manner."

I wonder if these early episodes are focused more on developing the characters and dropping little clues to pay off later. The killer of the week is just a framework to get us used to the show before it shifts into a higher gear, by which time we'll care more about the characters because we've gotten to know them…

Was there something about him that made her want to stay with him? The impression she gave later was she was sleeping around to satisfy herself, but still, he had to be worth the trouble, right?

On the patient hits wife prediction, there was an obvious answer to House having a photo of himself with an old newspaper and the index card. It's an old newspaper. House could have just as easily taken the photo two days after the newspaper came out as the day it came out. The newspaper as time stamp trick is usually…

Unless Sheldon was extrapolating from the theory that some dinosaurs were warm blooded.

Enhancement is one thing, but it doesn't serve the credibility of the review to constantly refer to a laugh track as if there is no audience there at all reacting to anything. If he wants to say he thinks the audience reaction was altered with a laugh track, that's one thing, but the snarky tone implies either that he…

Yeah but they've been doing tricks like that forever. It's like the Applause sign at a talk show taping.

It's a sitcom.

She said "ride him," which is probably a bit more of a randy reading of the concept

Given that Parsons is gay it would have been an especially ironic line.

That review was overly snarky, but what else is new around here. I thought this was one of the better episodes in a while, but the biggest complaint I have is that they cheated with the whole Leonard was daydreaming gag. While that reveal does help a lot of things in the episode make sense, such as Leonard's suave…

Dude, cut the laugh track meme. It has a live audience. They even have a featurette on one of the DVDs showing the audience during a filming. And even if you are cynical enough to think they would fake that for some reason, I know people who have actually gone to tapings.

yeah, but they look it.

I think that's one of those questions that will float there with the anticipation of it being resolved someday. Like if it never gets answered the series as a whole will take the hit for having a silly premise.

The first episode the dude's fingerprints created a hit in the system, but the full records were blocked off. I didn't think anything of it while watching but after the episode ended I wondered why his fingerprints were in a computer database. So all I can figure is that Hauser's team (the guys running Forestraz, not…

So, if Hauser was a rookie guard in 1963, and that was about 50 years ago, then Hauser must be over 70 now. I suppose that's feasible, but Sam Neill certainly doesn't look it. (Not that it should be an issue on a show about time travel, but the implication I got is that Hauser hasn't been affected by that element).

I got that sense too. Like manipulation from someone from the future.
