It's just one big plot hole.

"What's your name again?"
"Judy Sherman."

It wasn't the face, it was the sounds he made that clinched it for me.

He was somehow able to grunt, wheeze, and whimper all at once after closing the door. I still can't figure out how he could make all those sounds simultaneously.

That reaction shot from Mike was fantastic.

They'll go to Annandale if:

You know what? I'm done trying to put a positive spin on this season. It was terrible. Not because of the players, but because of the edit. We had two people in the final three, Will and Carolyn, and we were given no explanation of how they got there. The single most crucial move each made after the merge—Will's

I thought Season 4 handled three big things extremely well, especially since these were three arcs that Harmon might have painted himself into a creative corner on after season 3:
1. Jeff's meeting with his dad
2. The de-villainizing of Pierce
3. Troy and Britta's breakup
I especially think they nailed the breakup in the
