According to TVBytheNumbers.com Rob is holding up slightly better than Shit My Dad Says did last year

How is it weirdly big? No one wants to watch the competing shows, and its ratings have been steadily increasing in the past year.

What does CBS give more credence to: Rob's 11.28 million viewers or the big dip it takes between Big Bang and Person of Interest? It's demo number is still higher than Person so that's good for it, I guess. But it probably means Rob is sticking around, which can't be good for quality TV.

Not the interrogative who, but a man with the unlikely name of who

That's probably what they think they're doing, but if that were the case then the first episode would probably have to automatically get an A and then when a better episode came along that episode would be the A and the episode grades would be adjusted accordingly. It's hard to establish what a C- episode of Ringer is…

This episode didn't do much for me. Too much lurking. It was nice to see SMG go all Buffy on that teacher, but it serves a Juliet storyline that is just out of place.

That necklace thing was kind of weird. They make it seem like maybe the guy's wife had a connection to Sweeney but it was just a red herring they never really explained.

I see. The keys control the time chamber. It's all about trying to get Sam home

Except he's not working for himself. He's under that spell thing that compels him to act that the criminals can't explain. Some puppetmaster force probably wanted the key for something, he was sent to retrieve it (like the first guy) and his hitting the multiple boxes was to prevent the authorities from knowing what…

I'm still amazed at how quickly these inmates become acclimated to the future world. Granted, we don't really see them return, and there is probably a lot going on we aren't seeing. But Sweeney had enough time to find out which female tellers in the city were single and older (and thus desperate), then to stalk them…

I got the impression he was hitting the multiple deposit boxes to cover his tracks. Removing multiple boxes creates the impression he was stealing random stuff, possibly hiding his true motives. It's like the sniper guy a few eps back, who shot two other people to hide his true target.

You don't need to do research if you actually watch the show. It's research if you're trying to craft a joke to pander to your audience. (The exception would be dumbing down a joke for a wider audience, but then what's the point?)

Since none of the actors knew what the TARDIS was at their last Comic-Con panel, that's not a surprise.

Really? Because it seems that being Community is what Community suffers from.

So why did House ask them to explain it? I took it more as the writers overlooking a detail of House thinking he's too clever.

what ends up being interesting about that 1999 Yankees line is that the 99 Yanks did win the World Series, but in the middle of three in a row, and the 98 team was the one that won 114 games.

So, any thoughts on what is essentially a TNG scene buried within the episode, which is Chief O'Brien's goodbye to Picard? I thought it was a nice scene, if obligatory.

I think Sisko was made a commander to start the series because the producers were trying to say that starbases were led by commanders. Note also the starbase in TNG's "Starship Mine," with a commander in charge.

I disagree that the wormhole scenes are unnecessary. They're the main reason Sisko has a change of heart because the aliens force him to finally move on from his wife's death, both by confronting him with that specific moment and presenting him with a chance to explain humanity's mission (the latter being the more…

Yep
