Yeah, I enjoyed Sheldon kind of representing the normal, everyday gent in a world full of McDreamies and McSteamies.

"The only downside of this plan is its absolute moral insanity.
Elena was adamantly against killing the vampires in the bar because they
were innocents, but she’s willing to kill thousands in their stead?"

Suggesting Kol is gay puts some nice sexual tension in those scenes where he gets reacquainted with Jeremy.

So as customary when I catch up on a series that has seen regular coverage at the AVClub, I'm going to do a self-important comment no one really cares about.

I actually really liked the humor in this episode. The case was probably the worst one they've had this season, since it was really formulaic, but who cares, this episode was about reforging the bond these brothers have been struggling to rekindle since Dean returned from Purgatory, and not getting bogged down in the…

I sometimes wish the boys would revist some of the same locations because the local law enforcement officers get some great lines sometimes. 

Jared Padalecki's reaction shot was brilliance.

So what you're saying is… Ron Mexico is… Chuck Norris?!

I started watching this show because I loved Kate Walsh, and caught some of Grey's Anatomy before it went to hell and ended up loving Addison Forbes Montgomery Shephard. I liked the show's original setup, which seemed to be to challenge the ethical decisions associated with being a doctor rather than simply barreling…

Absolutely agree, this was one of the better episodes by far. Morgan being the girls' personal trainer really had me cracking up.

"Likability" here is basically generally enjoyment of the characters, not likability as in "I really think this character is a great person". This is the second week this has happened, so I guess I should change the name, huh? Or include the note I usually include explaining that a "10" can be earned for being either…

Yeah, this was excellent. On to the:

I wouldn't say that Regina sacrificed her character development from earlier this season. She's certainly backstepped, but her segments were the most believable. Despite being the Evil Queen and having all this magical power, she's pretty weak emotionally and thus easy to manipulate. Not to mention she doesn't deal…

If you're sporting a mug like Jim Jeffries…

Disgruntled black lady from the first scene still counts, right?

Haha, that was just a joke, I doubt she's been daggered for that long over the course of 1000 years. Although probably longer than her siblings.

OK, Mike's struggle with right and wrong were super telegraphed and over the top… But, as Harvey Specter might say… Goddamnit if Patrick J. Adams wasn't fantastic in every single scene, including the confrontation with the lawyer that visited him after his parents' deaths. I also didn't mind Louis' storyline or…

In a perfect world, we'd find out that this entire show is just a Mad Men sorta spinoff, and Harvey's deceased father is Donald Draper and Donna is the daughter of Joan Holloway. Joan's admiration of Mr. Draper himself led her to naming her daughter after him, and though they never pursued a relationship their…
