Well, I am sorry that you didn't have the glorious hot mess that was Smash in your life.

I don't know what it says about me that I instinctively knew what that Raza Jaffrey link was before I clicked it. Nothing good, probably. (I also kinda enjoy that Watson is dating Other Irene Adler's real-life boyfriend, though.)

“I felt like I had to be strong for them, because if they knew what I was really thinking they’d be terrified of me.”

I just want it on the record that I still think Joe Harper is Tommy Darmody.

New candidate for Best Line Delivery Michael Shannon Has Ever Given This Show: “Chester, that would sound better much further away.”

I really liked that they dialed up Desi's creepiness and controlling nature; it seemed to be making the point that unhealthy, abusive relationships can take many forms, not just stereotypical low-class drunken violence (like with her friend from the motel). If she'd stayed with him long-term I think it's safe to say…

It's one thing to cry at a movie; it's quite another to cry at a trailer. I ugly-sob every time I see the Unbroken trailer (I've read the book and it is just A LOT). This has happened about seven times so far, and we've got a few months left to go before it comes out. So, that's great.

I definitely laughed at the line about Sheldon thinking there was a possum in his closet, but that's probably because I was thinking of Jesse Pinkman wondering why "they" "changed it" to opossum, which sounds Irish. (Also, how was there no Schrodinger's joke there?)

I like the actor, but that sudden Alfred Smash moment in response to Bruce's burnt hand gave me horrible "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!?" flashbacks and…let's not. Let's really, really not.

The campiness work best on this show when it is coupled with the grit.
Yeah, really — I sort of thought that was the idea, especially in regards to Jim and his serious-business attitude about everything; he's the straight man and basically everyone else is crazy to some degree or another. I'm kind of waiting for him to…

Bryn’s book club is reading Fear Of Flying and the show, not content with the cultural reference at the center of its premise, wants to make some parallels between Eliza and Erica Jong.
Someone should probably tell them how to pronounce "Jong," then. It's not "yung" like Carl Jung, it's "Jong" like…well, exactly like…

Yeah, I still really don't know what the writers are trying to say there and I'd really rather just drop the entire thing, because it's not working. She's cajoling him into a relationship because of course she's too unattractive to ever land anyone, and it's hilarious because he's such a cad and has to go along with…

Fucking Ethan. He's up there with Larry from OitNB for me; I've hated him all along and my jaw dropped when he showed up in this ep (and then again with the Barton/Bill reveal). I so hope this doesn't mean he's back in S3.

It's definitely surprising, and I would think that was just a dumb last-second retcon to have Libby say "oh, I've known for years" if it wasn't for the fact that it's based on real life and the writers have cited their friendship many times prior to this. So yeah, I think it's about the fact that she genuinely likes…

And the coiner of the timeless moniker "Mr. Poofles," don't forget.

I cheered at "…nipples?" Outstanding.

What, you mean "USE THE LADIES' ROOM!!"? Yeah, that was pretty excellent. I was sort of hoping that was previewing some sort of running joke about his character, like his weird penchant for having clandestine conversations in public places or a desire to, like, dismantle the patriarchy (deal with it, men, you're not…

Favorite Fishburne line: “Who knew? Boy wants to hold a boob.”

Well…have to be, certainly not, but there are far more aggressively terrible shows that get far less hate, is all I'm saying. TBBT is very…ignorable.

Wow, these comments. People get far too mad about this show. Yes, it's definitely gone downhill since the writers got complacent about their success and all, but damn, it's a 19-minute CBS comedy that you can have on in the background. Let's try to chill.
