Finally caught up with the show. Am I a complete lunatic to say that this was one of my favorite hours of TV this year? Maybe I just needed something different but it's commitment to romanticism and ability to pull that commitment off without being laughable was something that is rarely seen and almost never on…

You're right. Sorry I'm so confused by the Javadi family tree aspects of this episode.

Long Beach is a big city. It has some good parts, and some bad parts and even its own national airport.

Stuart intensely reading the Mexican food menu at the time of the confrontation was a highlight for me.

Anyone else hear Javadi call his son Behrooz?BEHROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ

Loved the way he spit out the cake. Emmy submission time.

Totally agree on Octavia being able to rock a studio audience - a real lost gift. I wish I could've seen her as a series regular on All In The Family, Maude, One Day At A Time, The Jeffersons, Alice, or any of those 70s CBS sitcoms.

This is a fascinating ep to watch after re-watching the entire series, especially in light of where the Nate/Brenda relationship ends up — and how it gets there and how Nate's perception of Brenda was different/similar from/to the reality of Brenda. One of those great episodes that is enhanced by the storytelling that…

I wish!!! There are NO MORE cartoons on Saturday morning. Have you watched Saturday morning kids' TV lately?!? It's AWFUL. Maybe I'll just DVR SHIELD and watch it on Saturday Morning at 9AM.

Who is this mental patient and this terrorist guy? What happened to my Dana Brody Show? It airs in this time-slot on Showtime right?

Sometimes, if I squint real real hard, this show reminds me of the great CBS sitcoms of the 70s: One Day At A Time, Alice, Maude, All In The Family, The Jeffersons. Even the "previously on" segments have that worn in/choppy feel of a 70s CBS sitcom. Not sure if it will ever get there, but I'll keep watching.

Thank you. I'm glad someone else noticed!

I do love the way the show's opening credits recall Moonlighting's opening - even the song has a bittersweet sort of Al Jarreau quality to it. Yes I know its Hall and Oates from the 70s.

I just kept staring at Megan Boone's hair.

Yes sir. That would be "LOTTERY!" (exclamation and caps intentional).

Seemed part Miller-Boyett and part Norman Lear. It was disconcerting for some of the episode, but when it worked, I thought it really worked - the AA group, the scenes in Christy's house, the call to her mom, even French Stewart. These parts of the show veered into subject matter and tone that have seemed absent from…

Loved when the Breaking Bad theme song broke out in the final minute - cause hey, I love TV theme songs.

Emotional release. After the long storm of season 3, this episode doesn't necessarily feel like relief but like the characters relenting - to all of their respective events that comprised this season. Claire crying at the wedding, and Richard Jenkins crying just outside the kitchen always get me. These people aren't…

"Police property!"

Ok I know I'm in the minority here, and it wasn't perfect - but I kind of enjoyed the finale. It was a hell of an entertaining hour of TV. The episode's narrative and mythology were all over the place, but I appreciated in this episode and over the last half of the season, the sense that the kids were trying to…
