I did not comment on that episode. I do not think she deserved to be harassed, but after the way she got her job and Zou Bisou Bisou, I don't think anyone respects her in a professional capacity.

It doesn't even matter if she's qualified or competent because she's married to the boss. Nobody can trust her. They know they'll take the blame if she makes a mistake. They know that when they're working all night, she won't be there.
The main thing I remember about Megan in Season 4 is the sharp contrast between what Megan represented and what Faye represented, and what Don's choice said about his character.
She wants to be a sexy desirable wife to her boss, and be taken seriously in a job that she got by sleeping with the boss, after performing a sexy-dance in front of everyone from her office?
I've never gotten an impression that Peggy respects Megan. Peggy must despise Megan. How many times has Megan left the office at lunchtime while Peggy worked all night?
Megan insisting on the importance of her career is such a parody of feminism that I might be offended if I weren't such a magnificent brute of a man.
The thing I love about "Fringe" is that it defies the television convention of returning things to something like the status quo. Global cataclysms don't quite get averted on this show, and every season the universe gets turned inside out around the characters.
1) I have complained in the past that this show has reached a point of creative exhaustion, and that these characters have been fully explored. I believed that I knew pretty
much everything interesting there was to know about Dwight.
Ironically, when Beth Behrs reads the line: "The only thing I've lost is my virginity," she loses whatever was left of her dignity, and whatever respect anyone still had for her.
Peggy wants Ken to leave, so he can take her with him. When she saw him at lunch with the editor, she assumed he was on a job interview. Evidently, she's pretty motivated, because she was very excited about this.
A few thoughts:
The joke is that Kenny is so flamboyantly theatrical that it never occurred to him that he could bring April and Toby to Texas. Walking off the field in the middle of the game and faking his own death seemed necessary to him.
I guess the show needed to do something to humanize Nellie if she is going to be around for a while.
On the other hand, in that episode last year where Broyles 2 helped Olivia, he did betray his Fringe Division and his world. But I am pretty sure he's a shapeshifter.
I don't think Col. Broyles is a turncoat. My impression is that he has been replaced by a shapeshifter.
The Showtime brand is characterized, increasingly, by a lack of any forward narrative momentum. Hank will never quite manage to reconcile with Karen, because if he does, he'll no longer be able to get mixed up in softcore hijinks.
The exaggeration is where the comedy comes from. But there has to be a real center to the character for there to be real stakes to the comedy. It's funny to watch David Brent or Michael Scott walk into a meeting and make a mess because you have a clear idea of what they want and it's obvious how they are failing to…
I think the writers' idea is that California is some sort of master manipulator. Instead of directly persuading people to adopt his viewpoint, he subtly sets things up to go his way.
The writers and cast of “The Office” seem to be genuinely nice people who like and respect each other, and that geniality has really strangled the creative life out of the enterprise. This is a show about the workplace, and there is no story worth telling about an office in which everyone sits at the same desk for…
I totally believed this as a Robert California move. Jo and the board think Sabre can be Apple, because they are incompetent. Robert doesn't want to be the one to tell Jo and the board that the the products they make are crappy, and the store they want to build is a stupid idea. So he builds a half-ass test store,…
