I will take Unicorn Apocalypse over those creepy "You can watch porn better on our phones!!!" videos from around Christmas.

No one ever talks about that show, but Mae Whitman and Alia Shawkat as 11 year olds?! AWESOME. I totally remember watching that as a kid.

I've thought all of the last three were a lot better than he graded it.

They "may deal with" their lead character being a fraud and lying to his girlfriend for 7 or so years? That's actually hilarious. Oh, Psych. Never change.

It was a little jarring just because it was a different editing approach than usual, but I appreciate it if they're trying to go back to their roots. So many episodes don't have Shawn doing anything but stumbling upon answers rather than investigating anything or using his eidetic memory that I hope we get more of…

I suspect this episode rightly deserves the B- it got, but man, it was so nice to be back with these characters again and actually laughing at my TV unlike with 90% of the comedies on TV, that I'm just happy.

This. I definitely felt like there was something missing between Jessica/Mike's moment in her office and the bathroom scene, and it wasn't just "trusting the audience that we don't have to spell it out". There were some serious tonal issues between those two scenes and it was pretty jarring.

Plus, this back-half had the added difficulty of trying to work in the network's "Characters Unite Month" stuff with the gender discrimination case. I actually liked that plot better than the merger, but I suspect it's also what kept that story from getting more time to develop.

At Paley, almost the entire cast said 2x16 was their favorite episode.

I'd like this comment for the first sentence alone.

I liked it too. I thought it was 10x better than the opener this year. This wasn't Community-greatness, but it didn't have me physically wincing to get through it like that one did.

There were some truly awful episodes every season. Jack Black episode, anyone?

Re-#3: It's already been sold into syndication to Comedy Central, so that's not a factor anymore.

Doesn't everyone complain about her character growth EVERY season though?

The difference is reviewing a new show ala Zero Hour vs something like the new season of Community is that reviews of a new show are really meant to tell people whether or not to tune in at all, or if an entire show is worth their time. A show that's been on the air for three years - even if it's gone through as…

Yeah, I think one of the writers, Andy, said in that interview everyone quoted about how even he wasn't that impressed with the opener that he wrote, that Annie really was switching majors.

The best part of this comment is that it immediately follows someone complaining about young whippersnappers binging on their TV shows too fast.

I actually think that's kind of the point. There's a moment later on when you realize what his motivation was all along and it all makes a lot more sense.

Oh, they're very real. Every year, TVLine does a list of all the pilots in contention:

In all seriousness, Girlfriend in a Coma is actually a Douglas Copeland novel that dealt with a woman having visions of the end of the world, and she went into a coma for 17 years leaving her boyfriend with their as-of-yet-unborn child, then woke up just in time for the actual end of the world, and was definitely NOT…
