Troy and Abed's relationship moves me in a way I never thought possible.

Roger and Don actually chuckle at that awful "Tote dat barge, lift dat bale" joke, while Pete looks disgusted. Nice illustration of how the older and younger generations view black people.

Chandler on Friends: "You know what's weird? Donald Duck never wore pants. But whenever he's getting out of the shower, he always put a towel around his waist. I mean, what is that about?"

The best scene by far was the Tom and Derek confrontation. I would very much enjoy 45 minutes of stuff like that- material actually related to the Marilyn process. I don't know why NBC thinks people care about these stupid personal side-plots. All the stuff with Dev, Leo and Little Streep was useless. At least there…

A while ago, AV Club has a list of characters we love to hate: JACKIE FLORRICK would be at the top of my list. OHHHHH SHE'S SO DELICIOUSLY EVIL!!!

I just love the way Schmidt delivers lines. "Jess is a teacher of children" really got me this week.

How much you wanna bet that the writers named the victim "Odette" just so Castle could later make a "Faux-dette" joke?

I don't trust this Quinn chick one bit. She's obviously a master manipulator…sorry, QUINNipulator.

Also, I really really don't like Kristin Schaal in this role.

The plots all felt tired. We've seen Jenna & Tracy fighting so many times before, and this added nothing new. Jack feeling powerless at Kabletown and determined to create something there is also something the show has done before. And Lord knows we've seen enough of Liz being dysfunctional at relationships, though…

For me, the whole "Ivy experiences psychological side-effects of Prednisone" scene fell decisively on the bad side of camp. That whole sequence where she was singing in her bedroom and then hallucinating Karen was ridiculous. Julia's kid was slightly less terrible at acting this week, so that should bump up the grade.…

He kinda looks like Shawn from Boy Meets World.

Seriously. Saw this and the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce within the past month. I'm convinced all first-born children are sociopaths.

Flat. So flat. I can't even- I don't even know- you don't even look good while you're singing. The worst thing I've ever heard. $1200 a week for voice lessons and this is what I get? Okay, I'm gonna save it with the solo!

Wait, so is shaving your feet REALLY that weird? I'm asking for…uh…a friend of mine.

So we STILL don't know if they're gonna get that damn baby or not? C'mon!

There was a lot of terrible in this episode (Bruno Mars, Iowa, Ellis's friends, Brooklyn Bridge), but no adoption plotline or dialogue from Debra Messing's son means it's at least a B.

Please tell me that the whole Bruno Mars thing was supposed to be purposely terrible.

Although that was an enjoyable Whitesnake cover

Was it just me, or was the music in this episode especially intrusive? For a show that prides itself on subtlety and silent moments, the constant soundtrack presence felt tonally off.
