Hysterical episode.  And as someone who's never seen a second of either Office, I just thought it the show was shot as a parody of The Real World (they've had job related seasons).  Loved all of it, especially the Stormare and Parker parts.  It wasn't a great con or a great case, but it was a romp.  And the set-up…

Well, at least he's using the in the show names of characters now, and in at least open to the idea that the themes that drive the show are changing.  Any review of anything that gives the first third of its length to why the show isn't the same seems a waste of words to me.  Even if the current episode is odd or…

Heroes (Hiro's?) had a blue Nissan Versa.  That is all.

With a Wocket in his Pocket?

This.  All of this.  I didn't like the main plot of this episode at all, but the subplots (Deb and Quinn especially) were entertaining/fine.  So, this, for me, would be a C- at worst.  Yes the whole dead atheist scene has plot-holes galore, but all the other stuff (even the Matthews reveal) felt consistent/funny.

The last line Parker delivers as she's kicked out of the Psych building is "Soup is good food!"

Yes this.  I really think that if you've completely lost faith in a show, you should hand its reviews off to someone more likely to give it a chance.  I won't say this reviewer has been using the past/present jackhammer all season, but man it sure reads that way the last few weeks.

I think the arc could be saved if either…
Geller is real, the tableaus get completed with Travis's help, and then Gellar kills Travis and walks off into the sunset with Travis taking the rap.

To be fair the hacker stuff made sense.  The MMPD weren't paying him, so technically, it's no skin off their nose if he should get caught.  He's just someone volunteering information, which happens all the time and is legal.  If they'd paid him to hack, it'd be lawsuit city over there.

Fair coverage being accepting a show for what it is, not what you'd rather have.  Any review that bemoans the established tropes of a longstanding show (like the coincidences in Dexter or that each season explores a theme as much as it tells a story) really has been given to the wrong reviewer.  Just as I wouldn't…

Yes, yes it was.  And really, IQ for the win people.  If not that, then Karate 1.  Gotta go with the guys who weren't the stereotypical jock guy or his musically obsesses sis.  Sorta sad the parents didn't make it into the AV Club poll of the week.  They were decent parents, AND superheroes!  That's a tough double…

Sure they do…
"His name was Robert Paulson… his name was Robert Paulson!"

Thank god somebody mentioned the Keatons.  Best.  Parents (on TV) ever.

Well then we'll have to agree to disagree.  I think that's what made Sam interesting.  A reformed thug is one of the easiest things to overdo and Mos never overacted.  Plus, the people closest to the shooter would know him personally (other guys at the shop) and couldn't be trusted not to backslide and Sam's more…

Yes.  This.

Well there was this AV CLub reviewer once who made up reviews on material he hadn't even read (it wasn't available yet) and the House reviews have been pretty caustic/unfair for a while… so possible tie for penultimate worst?

Uh and that Dex struggles with the concept of having a soul at all as a science guy, and that he doesn't want Harrison to face the same fate (which is a grim fate indeed from Sam's Christian perspective).

I completely disagree with this.  Partially because the two best actors on the show are selling the hell out of it with great performances, and partially because there have been tons of things that have linked them over the season thus far.

Yes.  Yes to all of this.  I will calmly and eagerly admit that Dexter hasn't been riveting TV for two seasons, but this episode was an awesome array of all its cast being used just right in regards to their characters in the ensemble and there were no wasted scenes.

Good thing Flora got that quickie Vegas divorce before her hubby signed away the house and such.  What do you bet the bookies in 50s Vegas let her keep a percentage of their losses once she sent the slot robot into the room?
