According to Wikipedia, based on the production numbers for these episodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik… ), "Stephanapoulos" was meant to air - or was at least written - as the fourth episode. Yet "Laundry Detergent" was written third. That doesn't really explain away all continuity errors, but there you go.

I see the exposition here as a necessary evil. Without it, understanding how The Light undermined The Reach would have been much more difficult, as well as understanding all the ways that the young heroes were able to undermine both parties and play them against each other. Without that recap in the beginning, it

Who is driving? Oh my god, Bear is driving! How can this be?

I don't want to be just another person beating the Cheers/Scrubs/Homicide/Dawson's Creek/Whatever Classic Show That Got Dropped drum (though I'd be happy to have any of them back), so would it be possible to know which shows are officially dropped, instead of me guessing/wondering? I mean, I know you guys won't

I believe Tater was played by David Faustino - aka Bud Bundy.

Ah, yes, I see. "That was what was publicly said, but privately, there was an order for 13 episodes, and then a quiet back-9 pickup later." What a douche move, NBC. Sorry to have questioned your knowledge.

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, because Parks was given a full season order when it was renewed last May:

That's funny, because I wouldn't mind so many people complaining about Dunham's nudity…if only they weren't making the complaint on aesthetic grounds.

It's weird that there's the pant-less plot in "Napoleon", seeing as how in the pilot episode there was a shot that explicitly showed Dan not wearing any pants under the news desk, and (in my interpretation) seemingly enjoying it that way. I realize that things in pilots are often dropped from the show proper, but it's

I'm not sure how I feel about that last scene between Sabrina and Nick. It seemed that part of the reason that she called their truce off was motivated by the fact that Nick and Abby are together. This jealousy seemed to undermine her tough-yet-likable self, and make her a little more romantically susceptible than I

I don't know who's watching this how, but there's a hilarious deleted scene from this episode located on the last DVD - and also luckily on the internet: http://www.youtube.com/watc…
