Finales
Part of me wishes that there would be one more season, just because this one has been so consistently good. But then I imagine that wherever you leave the Gregson's in their time line, it's never going to be neatly wrapped up. You will always just sort of drop off at a certain point and be left to wonder what

My Aut0-Recycler is four glorious pictures of Adam Baldwin and one of Huggy Bear. Coincidence? I think not.

dude
Can I just say how freakish it is that Finn and Puck will both be 30 fucking years old IRL in 2012? I know it's nothing new for shows set in high school, but it's still odd. Especially since they're only about 3 or 4 years younger than Will & Emma.

Judging from the preview for next week, it seems like the other alters are finally waking up to the presence of YWNW. I guess the conversation between Alice and Shoshanna was supposed to let us know that they were on the trail, but it seems odd that YWNW could be living in the body so long without Shoshanna working

I can't say I particularly want Tara to murder someone, but it would definitely be interesting if Bryce turned up dead and Tara had to wonder whether or not she was responsible.

Steven Moffat has said in several interviews that it IS the Doctor and he IS dead. Now, there are still a million ways to get yourself out of that hole - including the possibility of a clone because that would still, for all intents and purposes, be the same man - but from what he's said it's unlikely to be an

Okay, yeah, that make sense. I guess I was just out of the loop. I'm actually more excited now to see how this version will take the same essential storyline and characters and end up with something completely different. Plus the cut down to 13 episodes was wise, in my opinion.

I'd give it an A- (relative to Chuck's declining qualities)
This was the first week in a long time that I didn't get up and go do other things in the midst of a Chuck episode. It actually held my attention for the whole hour and made me laugh, especially since Yvonne got another one of those too-few-and-far-between

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most Tea Party members aren't going to see this, either. At least not the ones who appear on the news with poorly spelled protest signs and scream vague generalities in unusually loud voices. They're probably watching Rio and marvelling at the shiny colors.

Forbrydelsen
Without getting too spoilery, do we have any word on whether or not AMC altered the series end from the Danish original? Right now it seems as though things are mostly traveling in that same direction (as some people on these boards have already accurately guessed the end game of Forbrydelsen) so it would

You mean you weren't up for yet another edition of "Stuff you maybe didn't really think you liked but then decided that you liked? Possibly after a significant amount of time had passed?"

An aural tapestry? Really?
Grey's, for all of its many faults, has a singular talent in that it can consistently pull off those over-the-top, dramatic, "must-watch" episodes. I'm thinking here of the bomb threat, hospital shooter, Meredith drowning, Denny's death, Izzie/George's death, etc. Which is why, at some point

ftw
I got a little scared that Richard's reputation for molecular gastronomy slash general kookiness were going to cost him the win. Aside from the oyster pearls and the foie in the ice cream (which, as others have said, is not quite as risky as it might have appeared) he generally played it safe. Of course, he

I'm a fan of anything that (hopefully) gets some residuals for all 847 members of The Polyphonic Spree, but it does seem like it fits less with the show's thematic development as time goes on.

HEY, HOW ABOUT WE TAKE A RIDE IN THIS FANTASTIC NEW SIENNA I JUST BOUGHT? EH? EHHH?

It did seem a little gimmicky at the time, but I think it fits with the theme of Tara's alters being born out of necessity. It's functional, too, because Shoshanna can facilitate a lot of communication between Tara and the alters, especially now that she show has decided to depict their co-habitation literally. I bet

@Goofygal - When Tara pulls out the form for him to sign - "What is it? I'm like the bloody Giving Tree here! What would you like, an apple? Shade? A canoe?"

Good season opener
Definitely agree that the suicidal bent comes from a new (or old?) alter, but I think he or she will be more of a regressive, id-driven one like Gimme or Chicken, as opposed to a fully formed, independent alter like Buck. In that respect, I like what the show has done as far as bringing nuance to

A little help?
I may have missed an episode somewhere, so forgive what may be a dumb question, but was there ever any resolution to the "Ellie finds mysterious computer from Dad's car" storyline? I remember her finally cracking the password, and then a dramatic cut to black, but don't recall ever hearing about it

Saw it.
It really is shamefully boring for a show that's supposed to be such a complete and utter spectacle. I'm almost impressed.
