"His soul ran away."

They do this with lots of shows they stop covering. It's not really "What's on tonight" so much as "What The A.V. Club thinks you should watch tonight."

I didn't know you were doing these! I'm sorry I missed out. Also, never accuse Backup. He's not very forgiving.

Shhh! PolarBears isn't there yet.

That's disappointing.

Fucking 12 what?

No doubt.

No, I'm enjoying it. Plus I really want to know what Castle wanted to forget. And whatever happened to him when he was eleven.

Anybody want to talk about how bad Once was tonight? I mean, admittedly not nearly as bad as last week, but still distinctly absurd.

You're right, but that's kind of reinforcing my point. It's a sitcom, so most things are jokes. They don't have to make jokes about Liz's love life; they choose to.

I'm also a little wary of classifying Jake and Amy's interactions in this episode as flirting. I have inside jokes and silly moments like that with my guy friends all the time, and we are not flirting at all. Not every relationship is When Harry Met Sally.

I think if they are purposely not putting Jeff and Annie together, it's not because they're afraid of losing shippers. When would Dan Harmon care about offending… anyone?

I thought that, but kind of assumed she figured it out, because it was super obvious. Plus we saw Terry and Boyle figure it out themselves. Plus Jake and Boyle would do that tv thing where they talked about it where other people would clearly be able to overhear them, if it wasn't a tv show.

When I saw the title for this episode, I thought it was going to be a joke centered on Gina's weird name for pajamas.

I might not be remembering it correctly, and I think this impression might be due to it's sadly truncated run. But the only time I remember her having anything interesting to do was when she talked to those barbeque kids, and the episode when she wanted to become a ranger. Otherwise she was just competitive and…

I loved Jim/Pam, probably because I was a teenage girl in love with John Krasinski at the time, but that plotline eventually just killed The Office.

What I'm saying is, there might be more to it. Or, they writers didn't totally think it through, because eating gross old food makes for some fun jokes.

I don't know that the rules of Jimmy Jams are so well-thought-out. Is it just that one person gets eliminated each round, or is there some kind of points-based ruling? Perhaps, in the event of a tie, they would have to go back and see who ate the most moldy Chinese food.

You really do. Although, a lot of that show is about Tina Fey trying to find a man who can handle her insane work schedule. So maybe that's not the best example of this, now that I really think about it.
