They specifically said in season one that Abed was supposed to be 45.  There was a whole episode about Troy coming to terms with that. 

Apparently you haven't traveled much.

Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas was one of my favorite episodes of TV ever.  So I wouldn't exactly say this episode gets "the shaft" for not fully matching up to that episode.  That's like saying Joe Dimaggio gets the shaft for not being as good as Babe Ruth.

I'm not going to argue that this show is perfect.  But Phil Nugent?  You know what?  You are a huge fucking douchebag.  Until you tell Todd Vandersmurf that he is a huge asshole for not calling out the blonde girl on "Two Broke Girls" (among many, many others) for being either anorexic or bulimic, then you can go suck…

I second that.  It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

I thought this last "last chance kitchen" was great.  No stupid personal stuff, just pure cooking competition.  And Tom being badass.  It is like Top Chef if Tom got total control over the show's content.

The judges, particularly the guys,  really disliked these people. I wonder why they bothered with the lame Dallas "society."  My guess is these idiots are the next iteration of the "Real Housewives" and Top Chef was forced to do a tie-in.

Don't worry about it.  It was awful and you should never watch it.

You can't zing nonsense.

The better question is, what part of the sarcasm wasn't?

I'm Grizard.  I troll and make nonsensical comments in hopes of being witty. 

I don't see what's so "hysterical" about Maggie.  So she should just play it cool if she just almost got bit by a zombie?  Or a person whose zombie mother and brother are in a near by barn should be so stoical?  She's actually pretty damn cool, a lot more than I'd imagine being in that situation.  If anything, it's…

As the review noted, I don't see what's so off about the dick grab and fuck.  It makes sense to me that two relatively attractive, single people who have lived in close quarters for awhile and who just survived a zombie attack would let off some steam by fucking.

I didn't laugh because it's happened so many times already.  I would have been shocked at this point if there had actually been blood all over him.

Or you could go "super extra full troll" by making lame, unsubstantiated sexism claims.  If it makes you feel any better, Paul Lieberstein is probably equally responsible.  And he's a dude!

It's not saying much if she's taking on more responsibility with the show and it happens to be getting worse.  It also took a huge drop in laughs when they hired a certain AV Club writer but that's another story.

My new fantasy version of this show is redneck, asian boy, and farmer's daughter.  If Otis was still alive, I'd throw him in too.

Name one of these interesting ideas.  And "interesting" does not equal "worthwhile" or "valuable."

A passable risotto can be done in 40 minutes, Colicchio and company wouldn't have given someone an impossible task.  Just turn up the heat and stir it more.

The only things valuable about this episode:  I imagine Thai food would go good with Spanish reds.  And the only reason to prefer one Iron Chef to another is because you are judging personality and not food prep.  If you are really interested in food, then you'd want to see the chef most capable of using a particular…
