I loved a lot about this episode, but I'm not sure how I feel about Dougie joining in this early. I find his reaction and willingness totally believable, but for everything to come together like that in one episode, for me, it all felt a little *too* easy, perhaps?

Scotty and Michelle's fight was so satisfying. The show has only hinted at depicting the darker aspects of the premise and finally, illustrated it in fine form tonight through their relationship. More of that and Melanie continuing to be a little badass, please.

this is spot on and one of the things I like about the show not being big. It still feels like an amazing little secret.

As a fan of Girls, I hate bringing it into this conversation and comparing the two at all…

Yeah, after Sepinwall's critique of the show in season 1 basically amounted to "HOW CAN I ENJOY A SHOW WHERE THE UNLIKABLE PERSON SUCKS AT THEIR JOB?!" I've learned not to pay much attention to the way he reacts to it.

As Amy read the first letter, letting it confirm her worst fears and then later with Levi stumbling over admitting his love for her..

Kay now renew Enlightened.

Weird,  I thought this episode was a major rebound from last week's Daniel Palladino-ness.

Kinda surprised by the letter grade, I thought this episode was much stronger than the premiere. It felt more like a season one  episode, — in part due to Amy's fantasy march in her iconic yellow superhero dress — but especially so in  the scenes where Amy's interacting with her co-workers and Krista. The aspect of…

One scene that always kills me is the final scene in the S6 premiere "Two Down, One To Go" when Roseanne ends up staying the night at Darlene's college apartment. They have their first really adult conversation covering sex and such  and there's this tense combination of hesitation, curiosity  and humor that is…

Shortly before season two premiered, I was reading these brilliants pieces on the show through someone's blogspot and hoping the person who had written them would continue doing so for season two. Just checked out the author of those pieces and as it turns out, said person is Brandon Nowalk.

It's amazing, because to do what she and the others that excelled at that craft did, that show really should've been showered in acting awards. While I enjoy Bunheads a lot, it's jarring when going back to Gilmore how effortless and not-annoying the dialogue delivery is.

I love how they totally incorporated Truly dying her hair blonde for Liza's appearance.

With this brilliant little gem back in our lives, let's vow to make this corner as civil as it was in season one…by ignoring vicksisamonster entirely.

Every interview this lady does is usually pretty great and the ones done with the AV Club are particularly special. Hope Bunheads lasts long enough for her to continue doing them with you guys.

ah crap, that should've be "at last." Brain farting is allowed on occasion!

This was the kind of episode I've been waiting for Bunheads to deliver and at last, it would seem to have finally done so -  thoroughly enjoyable, properly paced and entirely earning the funny and sad all the way through. I loved it.

That's nobody's business but the Turks

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, Now…

oh my fuck, vicksisamonster is *still* going on about Enlightened when it didn't even air in 2012?
