I actually liked her in the season 1 episodes - she was the only character who wasn't all about/entirely focused on Sherlock, and I thought it was valuable for the show to have at least one character with a more detached perspective. She also had at least some role in the investigations, there, and had a little more…

Reading this and thinking about what brilliance might have been just made it even more painful for me. Damn.

For something related to this that's non-depressing, this article by Dan about the future of TV is pretty funny. Though, if I'd seen it earlier, I probably would've known he wasn't going to be with the show next season.

Hell, I think even best-case scenario it'll be like the 7th season of Gilmore Girls - well-intentioned attempt to stay true to the tone and the rhythm of the thing, but without the person/people who ran and controlled everything it generally felt hollow. And that was a) a less ambitious and weird show than Community,…

Damn, that jellybean sculpture is seriously impressive. New travel goal: scam my way into this convention somehow.

You know, I don't know that there even is any Jeff/Troy, come to think of it. And surprisingly little Abed/Troy, considering. Like Girls' is reputed to, fandom tends to focus mostly on the white people.

Same here - you may also have watched too much of the WB in the late '90s. Commercials for it with that song were pretty much inescapable there.

Probably true. I think the idea was that, since more people watch TV at 9 than 8 (if only because the 8 PM shows come on at 7 in some timezones, when people are still coming home from work), they'd put the more accessible episodes then. Not that that seemed to work, considering the total viewers actually went down a…
