"(Meanwhile, Wahlberg has yet to explain how he could have prevented this.)"

I've got a few written on a Liszt for just such an occasion.

No, you're right, it was trash. Trashy trash at that.

Like Reid said, Mitch and Cam's fight constituted their entire story-line, but Phil and Claire's was just tacked on.

No, that came after. It was actually kind of liberating to be able to express myself in anew, fresh-faced medium.

Remember the season where they had the post-show devoted to following the models during the challenge of the week? I can see how that would become kind of repetitive after a while, but I wonder why they discontinued it?

Right before I actually stopped watching the show regularly (around S7, I believe), I got really into deconstructing reality television shows that I happened to catch (I was in a mental slump and was consuming as much trash as possible). It was because I had watched an early episode of House Hunters, before they had…

I remember the day I stopped caring who actually won the competition. It was the day after the Season 5 finale and , going into one of my classes, I told someone who had missed it that Leanne had won and she just kind of shrugged it off. That's when I realized I had had about the same reaction.

I'm warming up to Lily's delivery of "Really?" when Alex declares her ignorance of men's fashion/clothes. It was the only semi-genuine thing she's said in a while. And, while the adults' feel-good pay-off could be seen as somewhat organic, I agree that the flash to the kids' own rendition was a little too neat. If…

Fuck, that's what I get for rushing after only reading half the article.

Vaya con Dios.

Avatar/Comment synergy?

Let me clarify, I've only seen half of the three episodes I've watched (around 10-15 minutes of each). It has now moved up to must-see/appointment tv.

Garry? Gerry? I don't even know anymore.

Between defending the sizes of his shoulders and hips, refusing to steal Peralta's thunder (not even to borrow it) and his little shuffle into door mode, he is becoming the more pathetic version of Jerry.

I've only seen 3 episodes of this show, but after this one I am completely on board. Is this what everyone was raving about?

Everything was so much simpler back at the turn of the century (we can say that now): we had just evaded an apocalyptic catastrophe and were looking forward to 2012, America's long, grungy nightmare was ending, girls went around free-bagging (is that the proper term?) Memories….

I will say, at this early stage, I'm really invested in seeing where the characters go (if they're going anywhere at all) by the end of the season more than their actual interactions early on. Plus, I really like the warm lighting that suffuses every set and scene. I can see it becoming one of my go-to comfort shows…

You're right, I probably should have left it at over-reacting. As much as it strains both the narrative and the show itself, Ann's leaving is a pivotal, heart-breaking moment for Leslie and for P&R. And it's good that the cast had to pull her back during her outburst seeing as how it's a personal matter that affects…
