1.  There was a phenomenon in high school called "senioritis." Basically, once people got into college, they didn't care about their high school grades anymore, and quit doing their schoolwork. On a related note, this week on "The Office," people at "The Office" drank coffee.  
2.  If anyone wonders what Pam's job is,

There's always been something sort of guileless about Hank's womanizing.  He's never really entirely available, because he Karen is his one true whatever, but he sort of loves every pair of premium-cable-after-dark breasts that parade through his bedroom.

Without supervision, these people spend entire days building card-castles out of customer complaints and smearing mayonnaise on each other.

Trashing "The Office" is kind of my jam these days, and I'm not going to break with that tradition this week.

Didn't Francine star in her own network sitcom, travel to outer space, and briefly run a muffin kiosk at the mall?

1) The more I see of this season, the less I think that this whole scenario is a satisfying resolution for the Observers.  In the early seasons, when they were all mysterious and involved in observing "important events" they seemed much more interesting than they turned out to be.

1.)  Masuka did DNA testing on the blood from Estrada's shirt, and he didn't notice that the blood was 30 years old.  He held the shirt in his hand, and he didn't notice that the shirt was 30 years old.  How does that happen?

Dexter's whole thing is that he doesn't get caught.  The purpose of his "code" is that it keeps him from getting caught.  A big part of the reason he hunts killers is that they can disappear more easily than people who live inside the law.

1.) This episode of "Dexter" presents us with a textbook example of a narrative contrivance.  The premise of this show is that Dexter is smart.  He's smart enough to kill dozens of people and dispose of their bodies without getting caught.  He's been presented in the past as a brilliant hacker.  He's been shown
