So the mother goes to her death believing her son was a terrorist? Not okay!

That was the best Mellie scene ever. My puppet husband, indeed. Good comparison to Maggie the Cat, Ash Ally.

The writers need to get a clue that the audience at large may not relate to Scandalspeak, and change it up now and then so that every character does not have the same speech pattern. On Scandal, whenever a character gets upset—no matter if it's Liv or Cyrus or whoever—they repeat their line 2-3 times, as though to…

Ah, good sleuthing, Antoniooo. Thanks for finding our girl.

Agree the rapper was stereotyped—lazy writing? They should have allowed him to drop the facade and say something intelligent a lot sooner. I did enjoy the donation scene, and the introduction of the rapper's son.

I ALWAYS want to throw a bat at Sydney. What a prissy pants.

There's a nice chat on this last point on Hulu: Paleyfest panel for Parenthood.

Wise parents do not get between their children and the people they choose to love. It creates terrible stress for the child, and almost inevitably heart and hormones rule and there's a resulting riff between parent and child.

Agreed. Also really annoying the way nobody actually listened to the tracks, but talked all the way through them, especially when it was Joni in the background. "This is my opinion of the music we are not listening to now."

Enjoyed recording session with Ashes of Rome, as long as the band was playing. Thought the primadonna depiction was a little tired. It's fun when they have artists in the studio.

I looked Sarah Ramos up on IMDB and she doesn't look that busy with other productions. Why don't they bring her back once in awhile? Kids come home from college. At least a phone call. I miss Haddie.

Great husband is greatly stressed out—as predicted—and needs a better haircut.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell is great as the pushy campaign manager, but, as an actress of range, I am hoping they will allow her more dimension.

I really enjoy the filming of NYC for this show—very dynamic. Can anyone tell me the name of that fantastic old brick building Mozzie is standing in front of during one of his phonecalls with Neal? Very cool shots!!

Why aren't more people commenting? I've been watching since Ep. 1 and am a fan of this great buddy story—Neal and Peter, Neal and Moz—though the writers rely overly on style. Caffrey charm, and our suspended disbelief. But the show has always modeled itself after the caper films of the '60's, more playful than…

Yeah, that was a funny bit with Mozzie on the roof, choking out the words, "Conspiracy theories are not real.” Lol.

They've already used the dog and robot anklet dupes in previous episodes, right? They needed something new this time, but really, the stationary anklet was a dead giveaway!! Something more ingenious, please!

I loved the Chagall painting Hagen was working on in that scene! Gorgeous!! Also appreciate Neal as artist, art aficionado, and art forger. A very fun part of the stories.

Liked the vet. And this from dogpoet!

Yes, Gunnar's made a lot of false moves, but I don't think he was in a good place before. He's in a better place now and I think he made the right decision re the song. His "friend" tried to railroad him—he's the one who blew it this time.
