Just want to say that "jeremiad" is a great word that is underused in our society. Nice work getting it in.

Overall, I thought it was a pretty good episode, though I agree with others that it wasn't anything special for a midseason finale. The case of the week was fairly mundane, and I wasn't impressed with Jessica Collins' performance. That said, the fact that it used "Gimme Shelter" (this show's choice of music in its…

Fantastic episode. Probably the best so far, with the possible exception of the serial killer one. And a great review with a lot of really insightful points. I really enjoyed the investigation into the robbery, and it was nice change of pace from the usual murder (yes, there were some murders, but the episode really…

I don't think so. Everyone seemed to be getting along way too well at the dinner that you mentioned. It did not seem believable to me at all. And the problem between Oliver, Tommy and Laurel there wasn't because of their relationship but because Laurel suggested that Tommy work for Oliver. Yes, Oliver mentioning his…

Hmm…I thought last week's episode was probably the weakest of the season, and it gets an A. I thought this one was among the strongest of the season, and it gets a B-. To each his own (though, to be fair, I appear to be in the minority given that the community grade is also a B-).

I'm not saying it's not within his character. I just think it's antagonizing its male viewers (my sister hates it too on the same grounds, so it's antagonizing some of its female viewers too), which is a mistake for any show to make. I'm kind of surprised that so many people seem to hate Laurel. I'm not saying her…

The episode was OK. There really are two shows, though. There's the terrible political show, which features the worst character on television (Teddy). And then there's the music show, which is pretty good, all things considered. I can't believe I'm saying this, given how much I rolled my eyes at it at first, but I'm…

Agreed. I couldn't believe it got an A. I'm not saying it was bad or anything (it was more like a B), but the last couple of episodes have had a few more problems than the others. I think the actress playing Helena just isn't very good, and I'm hoping she gets some much-needed acting lessons prior to her next…
