I've enjoyed this show since the beginning, and I've stuck with it through the highs and lows…and will until the finale.  But what struck me as I watched tonight's episode is how much the extraordinary talent of the cast is underserved by the writing — and I think this has always been the source of my frustration.

"Why brandish him a domestic cyber terrorist?"

I agree. The grade and analysis seem a bit off.
"And maybe that’s the biggest problem I have with “Thanksgiving”: Paul’s not sticking around. "So the reviewer's big problem is that the narrative requires a middle section?  I suppose we could just jump to the season finale, but that would leave the cast with a lot of

And as everyone knows, the key to good car bomb is that it both beep and flash.  Just common sense really.

You know, you used the word "meat" twice in your review of an episode titled "Advanced Gay."  Looks like Britta's Edible Theory is correct again.  She's the wurst.

Nice catch Con9191.  And can we have a round of applause for one of the few shows on tv whose writers don't assume their audience is at least mildly brain-damaged.

But what if I just want to jump back and kiss myself?  That's still cool, right?

I've never loved anyone enough to hangover-run-puke…and that makes me wistful and sad.

Whedon…
…would've killed 'er.

Have you considered using twice-daily Herpexia? Sure, possible side-effects include headache, diarrhea, permanent erectile dysfunction, thoughts of suicide and nausea, but I think you should do all you can to slightly lessen the spread of genital herpes. Because it's a good thing.

Exactly my reaction. I love how ballsy the writers are. I was afraid that their narrow survival after the time change meant that they would start playing it safe…because, well, no one wants to be unemployed. But they renewed my faith in television. Good for them.

Did you see…
…Alison Brie on AOTS today? I think I may actually be in love with her.

"…there's precious little joy in those laughs."

Hey, I always liked the guy…
…and I think he's pretty funny. No, I didn't like him on WU, but comedians are just like any other performer: they need to find the right venue for their style. I haven't seen this special yet, but the concept sounds like it would be a good fit and I'm looking forward to watching.

In Priya's defense…
…Leonard does need to get over Penny and he does need to stand up to Sheldon. In a way, she's just the voice of reason. It's just the altered reality of sitcom-land that makes her out to be a harpy…which is too bad. And since we've made the grand discovery that hot women don't have to be stupid,

Since we all agree….
…that S8 was…problematic…how about if everyone pulls the Whedon-shaped stick out of their asses and we figure out how to get Joss doing the one thing he needs to be doing: making more Firefly. Why in the hell hasn't one of the bajillion networks out there bought the rights to a show that already

Oh and I think she oughta win Best Actress for the Olivia role and Best Supporting Actress for Fauxlivia. The reaction shots to her winning both would be awesome.

C'mon, apparently the poor guy hasn't had a really satisfying bowel movement since the late 60's. I'd be tense too.

Leonard Nimoy in Anna Torv's body; I have the weirdest boner right now……well, they're all sorta weird but this one is definitely the weirdest.

Okay, is it weird that I found Boyd's gambling his life on a note he left for Ava to be pretty damn romantic? I mean, when you think about the weight of his action (and then the amazing way he explains it), it's just…well…sweet. In a beautifully twisted way. Keep in mind though, I'm so non-demonstrative and
