I've been asking this "Kafelnikov" thing forever. Especially since an episode later in the season actually deals with the Kafelnikov stuff. I've always assumed it was a production mistake, and they switched the episode titles on accident or something.

Please, please, please, let's not forget "Conspiracy Theories of Interior Design" and "Paradigms of Human Memory."

Jeez. It's one of my favorite episodes of the series. I love that it goes to such a dark place.

Something Something NewsRadio

Hmm, this just made me think of the fifth season ANGEL episode where Harmony comes and visits, which I think is a much better suggestion.

She plays a fairly large role in the finale, even. This is not the end of Charo.

Thank you for this. I had no idea, but that's just as impressive (if not more so). I have less knowledge of how Kelley runs a writer's room, but I'm assuming he still probably wrote all the episodes, rather than just doing a final pass on the drafts and adding his name to them.

Quo Vadimus?

I think the dating plan becomes justifiable just when it does end and it's fully realized and Dan talks to Dana. YES, it's a stupid idea, but it's a human decision from someone that has just had her life turned upside down. Dana's engagement fell apart. She has bigger trust issues with men now. And not to mention how

This is something I've always wondered, does anyone know what went on with the episode titles in the middle of this season's run? The episode named "Kafelnikov" has NOTHING to do with it, and it DOES come up in a later episode. There's another one too with a similar situation, and it makes no sense. Other than it

JEREMY ANSWERING ALL OF THE QUESTIONS TO "CELEBRITIES" BY HIMSELF, ALONE, IS SUCH A PERFECT, POWERFUL SCENE.

It truly blows my mind that he wrote ALL (well, like 95 percent of both series) the episodes in the second season of Sports Night, while simultaneously writing "ALL" the episodes in the first season of The West Wing that year.

Ugh. Every year or so I battle with myself as to whether I'd actually name my daughter "Pixley" or not.

His Cliff Gardner "glass tubes" speech is fucking marvelous.

"That's not a relationship?"

Absolutely. And Dan's dressing down of the whole plan later down the season, and how he describes it as her own fucked up neuroses masquerading as quirkiness is DEAD ON.

Yes! Haven't gone through the reviews yet, but just needed to say that Casey and Dana finallllly kissing at the end of the premiere is SO FUCKING SATISFYING. The little look and readjustment she gives herself after it happens; Casey's yell; "It's in His Kiss" playing. Fucking perfect.

I actually agree that the first half of season 3 has some real issues with the Narrator. The example you picked out is perfect, but in the season 3 premiere, Tobias says something unflattering and the Narrator interjects with, "Gee, who wouldn't want to be married to him?" It feels like he's overstepping his bounds,

The statue should be made of cardboard and barely secured into the ground.

Wasn't crazy about Marky Bark, but at least "face blindness" felt like vintage weird AD stuff.
