P&R's casting department (or whatever agency they're using) is killing it. Fine, fine work.

The scene where they take the telephone call with the audience behind watching intently is just a fantastic creative choice, since it basically surrounds the characters with on-lookers, whether it's the folks behind or the viewers of the film itself in front. It really magnifies a simple phone-call to suddenly feel

Alex's Iron Man line and Penny screaming in terror over the lamp shade were this episode's highlights, at least for me. Kind of a step-down from their usual standard of achieving the weekly pinnacle of network-TV hilarity, but even a weaker Happy Ending episode is better than 95% of the stuff that serves as comedy on

Agreed. I just figured he would have found some way to maneuver control of the cash-cow back under his umbrella, even if it's just through gaining more influence within the church (I'm assuming money is still money within the world of Boardwalk Empire).

Somehow, I figured once the feds seized the Overholt Brewery and took it away from Rothstein, Mellon would simply have Nucky take over its operations again. Based on Doyle's description, it seems like too big a chip to keep off the playing board. Kind of like introducing a gun in the 1st act of a play. I doubt people

I'm actually astounded that they were able to get D'Angelo and Lewis for the pseudo-reunion, though Lewis probably could use the truck-full of money they backed into her drive-way.

I'm a little sad Liz didn't end up with Carrol … or Wesley Snipes ("Farewell, my luscious plum… Why is your face like that?!?!"). Then again, I do enjoy the idea that this marriage allows Liz to make Kris Kross references for the rest of her life. I'm still hoping that someone casts Jon Hamm and Tina Fey in a romantic

Aside from the frustrating sit-com relationship plot traditions that they decided to follow at the very end - with Robin realizing she now wants Barney since he's no longer going to pursue her - I really wish that scene had been the last relationship scene between Barney & Robin. It had a sincerity and maturity that

They need to bring back Sadie (June Diane Raphael) and Melissa (Kay Cannon) back as much as possible, even if it's just to watch Nick's reactions to them.

David's review is fairly accurate regarding the unbelievable casting of Sophia, the strange and sudden introduction of random characters that only serve to further this specific episode's plot, and the ambivalent viewpoint the show seems to have about the subject they decided to bring up…
