She, um…

The one thing Zoe did that justified her existence is introducing The Captain to the show.

I liked the way Ted acknowledged that he is "girlier" than Robin; nicely written line of dialogue about new/old information. ("We *know* I'm girly; what we didn't know is that *you* are.")

I hope that's it.

Me, definitely.

"Ganso" also means "goose," echoing Robin's apparent wild-goose chase at the park.

And even if not, the way Oliver snarled at Malcolm surely blew Oliver's cover as a dilettante.

I wanted Aiden to be the one who lost that sword fight, but I knew it would be Takeda, since it was the less-ballsy move. (We rarely see Takeda, whereas Aiden is supposedly dating Emily at the moment, engagement notwithstanding.)

I want stuff to happen, so I want the Graysons to be poor for realsies, but I fear that Jack might bail them out a little (with that check, if he managed to cash it in time).

What is this? A reference to a movie the actor is in or something? Anyway, hilarious either way.

The actress is usually pretty insipid (see Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" and also "Falling Skies") but I actually ended up liking her here; good banter and attitude. It helps that she was dissing Declan (and somewhat subtly). (He says she doesn't know him; she responds: "My loss, I'm sure.")

Maybe a *negative* present, like debt. "Here's some debt; enjoy! Gift-wrapped it myself!"

I think that when he called her "Platonic," he was using the word as a callback to his recent mention of all the ways Old Plato's body was failing him. (Making bad eyesight analogous to limps, being hard of hearing, etc.) Meaning that the usage is not supposed to be standard but is rather local and context-specific,…

She smacks him on the side of the head. "Something's wrong with this stupid monitor."

It shocked me a little how small a role the actor had agreed to take in "Rookie Blue," especially after "Flash Gordon," which theoretically could have been huge.

You just KNOW someone's "F" here is going to be BETH.

It's very weird which subsets of reality this show operates in. For example, following the glue-gun thing, another show might have gone the route of a messy divorce and custody battles for the kids. But for some reason it seems almost inconceivable that *this* show would have consequences of that nature. (The sort of…

My guess is that, after getting totally baked, Cosima would not be above making a "Clone High" joke.

I did get the impression while watching that the show was doing something of a genre exercise—they had decided this was the comedy episode, and everything would thus get a lighter touch (or rather, consequences might not stick as much as they normally do). Paul's nailgun kind of broke that tone, in a way that the golf…

I'm sure that if I had enjoyed it less, I would be focusing more on the elements you mention (which are certainly there; I just find myself not minding them too much). It might be a case of my brain looking for reasons after the fact, so grain of salt on my arguments :)
