The individual episodes weren't great (some better than others) but arc-wise nothing that happened in season 4 needs to be erased.  Troy and Britta broke up - good, Pierce and Jeff graduated- seems natural, Annie developed a sudden love of forensics- odd, but not the worst idea, Chang chose to stop being crazy -…

The Revised Edition of the AV Club Rating Handbook mandates that any episode of any show not overseen by Dan Harmon cannot be graded higher than a B-.

Colin Baker's death was only shown from behind (and it was Sylvester McCoy in a curly wig) so they could make the case that in between The Ultimate Foe and Time and The Rani he got old and very, very fat.

I jumped back on my DVR because I thought I had missed some scene where she befriended the soldiers.  That was just strange. 

Introducing Will Arnett as the long-lost Piercinald Anastasia Hawthorne, Jr.

This frees Will Arnett to become Pierce's long-lost son who instantly replaces his father in the study group.

Was that a cloister bell noise in the first scene with Clara after the crash?  Or was I just hearing what I wanted.  Seems like the last few episodes have been flashbacks to earlier eras when a tight plot wasn't as important and an episode consisted of a series of trippy scifi concepts that didn't quite come together…

My reaction exactly.  I thought it was stupid, broad, silly slapstick reminiscent of an Adam Sandler movie. . . but I found myself laughing my ass off.

So, how exactly are a paper salesman and warehouse manager going to help Ryan Howard advance his career?  I wouldn't be surprised if the CEO of Athlead turns out to be Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.

I bet it kills Brian that he was essentially c-blocked by his old crew.

The documentary angle was like a giant thread hanging from a sweater.  If they never addressed it then it would have been glaringly obvious, but everything would have remained intact.  Instead, they started pulling on it and now everything is unraveling.

I liked the episode, but I am a little disappointed by the indication that the Great Intelligence will be the main recurring villain this season since they're first and main appearance was in episode over 40 years ago that isn't on DVD.  I've watched a lot of Doctors 4-7 episodes and would love to see someone like the…

The only thing that bothered me is that after they were "3 hours south of Montreal", they were tailed by the gangsters and Ron said something like "they always hit me between Schenectady and Albany".  If he was coming down the Northway from Montreal he would have never been between Albany and Schenectady on the I-90…

It is totally realistic.  I mean, who doesn't know someone who was rescued from a job where she felt unfulfilled by a billionaire who wants to pay her to do what she does for fun?  Or someone who designed a NYC skyscraper in his early 30s? Or someone who was able to quit his corporate law job and join one of those big…

Did The Office hire a bunch of writers from the WWE?  Andy's heel-face-heel turn is basically professional wrestling 101.  They did the same thing with Robert California.  He's a weird Svengali, no wait he has a heart-of-gold, no wait he's evil again.  When Andy surprised Dwight I could hear in my head the wrestling…

I had grown completely comfortable with the slow disappearance of the documentary conceit over the years.  Even when Michael took off his mic and asked when everything was going to air, I took it as a clever metajoke aimed at all of us in the audience that wondered the same thing.  But now that they are leaning so…

What I can’t figure out is if Athlead is supposed to be deliberately, obviously, a terrible business (like Entertainment 720) or if it’s just what a bunch of Ivy League TV writers think an exciting business is supposed to be like (“I read about the Sloane conference in a Bill Simmons column, that’s a real sports…
