For some reason I kind of wanted to go, "Aw" when he was sitting there having tea with Shirley.

I honestly think, if they ever did get together, it'd probably be some sort of common-law situation. I never could see them doing the traditional wedding sort of deal (and even if they did actually get married, they'd just go to a justice of the peace in the middle of the day or something. Maybe a Las Vegas wedding).

Thank you for this post! That's incredibly reassuring news on all fronts-I'll have to check out Hitfix for that review you note.

THAT'S who he reminded me of! Thank you!

I was honestly sitting there like, "Guys?! HELLO?!" Poor Dean.

Thank you for transcribing this! He was going so fast that there were a couple lines I missed!

Loved that line. I really hope Oliver can manage to sneak in some time to show up every now and again if the show does return next season.

I can see it. Yeah.

Yeah, I rather liked "Celebrity Pharmacology". Particularly the scene with them rehearsing the play at the beginning, and Troy pouting about stingers.

Thanks, now I want some s'mores.

Judging from a quick look through the seasons, I might be inclined to go with this view, too. Though I think I'd tie seasons 3 and 1, and I wouldn't have so many arrows between the first three and season 5.

I'd love to see him show up again.

This is generally my view. Speaking on a personal level I'm always happy if a show I like runs for however long it wants, simply because I love the show and characters and would miss it if it ended and all that sort of thing.

I love that line, too.

Giving Annie her tiara back is when I start getting all choked up.

You had to mention clone hugs.

Either "Cooperative Polygraphy" or "Geothermal Escapism". I think the latter one just squeaks out as the top pick for me, though, because it's so emotional and touching and probably about the best send-off I can think of for a character from one of my favorite series.

The marriage crisis thing bugs me simply because it's awakened the irritating ship wars, damnit.

Haha, not so far, no, which is surprising for me. But hey, I don't work tomorrow, and I'll be up for a good number of hours tonight yet, so…I sense a little project coming on. I also need to figure out a way to check out the couple episodes from this season I didn't get to see because my DVR didn't record them and our…

I don't think I've really taken a moment to look and see which season would be my personal favorite. Generally, I'm like you in that I go with what's been most consistent/had most of my favorite episodes for many of the shows I watch.
