I'd feel better about the ambiguous ending to the POTW case if I knew that it was supposed to be ambiguous.  Instead it feels like the writers couldn't be bothered to resolve it.

Ah, if I'd scrolled down a little more I'd known that someone already got there.

Dude, that's hardcore capitalist.

No, if you were that guy you'd have made a "put a bird on it" quip.

Does "The Prime Mover" let Ace off too easity?  Maybe.  He's an asshole even before he basically enslaves his friend.  (Seriously, if one of my friends ever starts making me rich with his psychic powers, I'll give him a lot more incentive.)  But Dane Clark manages to sell Ace's last minute change of heart pretty well.

Yeah, with this one it's like the script hit an unexpected nerve with the actors, and then the actors committed beyond anything the director was asking.  So while on the surface it looks like a sitcom dad, his pretty/pleasant/sometimes hysterical wife, and their adorable TV moppet, what it feels like is a real family…

I'm in camp 3 too.  I'm more optimistic than I was about some form of fifth season.  But in any case, this was fun on its own.  Fringe has the ability to go to these kinds of places, and it almost always gets a great payoff when it does.

Their backstory about poisoning their world so they come back to take over ours kind of reminded me of the Sheeda in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers series.  I guess it makes sense that they look a little more alien.

She looks kind of like a cross between Anna Torv and a young Jodie Foster.

So even in the future that Winmark comes from, it's still true:  You fuck one goat…

That's a good metaphor.  Long may they play as many cards as you can deal.

Yeah, I loved this episode too.  It wouldn't have been a great choice for the first post-hiatus show.  I mean, there's a lot of stuff here that would scare off a Community newcomer.  But if you're invested in the characters there's a lot here for you.

What are the Ship-O-Meter ratings for Abed/Imaginary Chang?  If you like it rough that arrest scene could be pretty hot.

And when they returned to the non-Dreamatorium world, you could see a subtle change in Abed.  He was dealing with her more as a person now instead of a piece on a playing board.

That's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Bear with me, Col. Alphonse Dore Cliburn CBE 3 comments collapsed Collapse, because I'm not sure I know how to do the highlighted username thing.  I guess I was mistaken there.  But I think PugsMalone …

It's neither libelous nor an accusation.  It's just the sad truth.

Martin Balsam is one of those great capital C capital A Character Actors.  The idea of him in a Muppet movie is pretty interesting.

Yeah, I was thinking he had sent in one of his call-girl applicants.

Fall Out Boy finally gets its Yoko Ono.
