Presumably he wouldn't be comfortable with his own compulsions being put on air.

Whedon gave Fox suits credit for including a "courtesan" in the cast of Firefly, though, which he said was a great decision.

Hey, you know that your name is displayed at the top of all your posts, right?

Casualties in police shows like this always refers to dead people, so I'll give this show a pass on that.

They've already done that unhealthy relationship thing though, and I can't help but feel the voiceover has already locked their marriage in stone.

I feel bad for David Foley, poor chap.

I miss trying to sneak a firstie onto an article. And then getting scores of "please get cancerAIDS" responses. The good old days.

Absolutely, Hill was brilliant in the quieter moments of this episode. It must be nice for him to actually, y'know, act, rather than just goof around with his friend James Roday.

Mrs. Mortimer is from St. Louis, and when I first went to visit her we stood on the shore of the Mississippi looking across, and she just said "never go there".

I think that's bullshit on Lorne's part.

I think she’s probably my favourite woman on the show, and when Sudeikis, Armisen and Hader leave at the end of this season (as I presume all will) I think she’s got the talent, along with Bobby Moynihan, to carry the show. All she needs is that breakout character, or a decent spot in a well-regarded comedy film, and…

The show drops a hint that I don't think the book ever did (although I didn't read it anywhere near as closely as some of you) that Jon Snow isn't Eddard's son at all, but someone else's, that Ed rescued from the field of battle. I'd lay money on him being a Targaryen bastard.

He's the best supporting character the show's ever had (I don't count Bobby as support). I'm keeping my fingers crossed they get to rescue him down the line, provided the actor himself doesn't get a better job somewhere else.

I could do with Shawn toning it down a little, really. Some of the episodes where he was at his wackiest are virtually impossible to watch.

I don't think the problem is that the development of the character of Sheldon is inconsistent, it's that the writers and producers clearly see no problem with putting another episode like this out, after the disaster of the last time the gang were racist (towards the same character) - athough the "you are black,…

"The pile of money they gave me to star in this garbage was THIS big"

There are certainly people I don't want them to bring back (Jeremy probably being no.1) but there are so many people who I think still have fun stories to be told about them…I'd be happy with Alaric just appearing in hallucinations to Damon, every now and again, to keep him on the straight and narrow.

I get the feeling that he was just getting old, not that he was terminally ill. I'd caution against sticking all your metaphorical eggs in the same basket.

Loads of plot holes have been brought up already, but the main one needs going into further. Tyson is, presumably, unknown to Joe and his followers (he's been in witness protection, dead to the world, for four years). So, when they find the tracker, it'd make a little more sense for Tyson to put them both under a…

I think the Mother, with all this new information, is definitely going to be someone we've already met. The thing about her playing bass in a band - someone will have told her that Ted's ideal woman is a bass player in a band, so she either learned or just sat in on one song for Ted to  "meet" her.
