I'm just over 30 and I got the joke.  Did you not see any M.A.S.H. re-runs growing up?

They've done a good job this year regarding the 'Genoa' story as far as the steps it takes to investigate and confirm if a story is real.

I agree, it was solid.  I don't know that Nina Howard had to come back, or that we had to revisit 'the voicemail' and the Will/McKenzie romance, but at least it didn't take up a lot of time.

A lot of people like to be mean on the internet for no particular reason, I can understand why that bugs those that pour their heart and soul into their work.  
There was an article a week or two ago about how Mary-Louise Parker was considering giving up acting altogether because of the amount of hate spewed on random…

I like him most when he's on his quixotic 'Mission to civilize".  Sims can hate on it all he likes, but it's damn necessary and one of the best bits of the show.

I agree, maybe it's coming.  I was a little bit let down that they haven't done more with OWS, but at the same time the show's criticisms have been correct.

To be fair, at least from the season 2 premier, it looks like the government wasn't actually responsible for chemical warfare, and that the cast was played somehow into reporting a false story.  They even mention that they retracted it in that first episode.

The chair bit was forced, but that entire scene was a tour-de-force for Olivia Munn.  Hands down the best line of the episode "If you're going to talk to me like that shouldn't you buy me a chew toy?"  (I might be paraphrasing a bit)

Solid A for me.

I started liking Jim's campaign girl tonight.  The development of the character made sense, and I have to give Sorkin credit there, it takes a lot to take a character that comes off as horribly unlikeable when they're introduced and manages to win people over after you hear that characters motivations and get to know…

Whether or not Romney could have won for standing up for the gay soldier, standing behind his health care plan in MA, or refraining from waffling more than an IHOP line cook is irrelevant.

Peanut Master -

OK, not being a woman and not being Sex and the City obsessed, was it still a thing two years ago?

I agree.  It has problems, but even during the god-awful woe-is-me-my-consolation-relationship-is-falling-apart bits I thought 'well, I know this bit is going to get eviscerated online, but I'd still rather be watching this than anything else on TV'.

Lisa's dressing down was one of my least favorite bits.  The level of her outrage seems completely out of place given the situation.  But the whole love plot is awful anyway, just junk it already.

Lisa sucks, maybe now we'll be free of her.

So, first of all, I want to give a hearty coont poont to all y'all who have made me start watching this critically.  I used to enjoy it more before I started looking at the faults.

I love the show, but I agree that those scenes need to go.  The haters hate the romance subplots, and the fans hate the romantic subplots, kill the damn romantic subplots.

I voted straight A because it was genuinely great and deserves appreciation.  There's plenty of 'reality' TV out there for those who can't appreciate intelligently written compelling scripted television.

Dev Patel's character his the nail on the head with his criticism of the movement.  The goals were noble, and aligned perfectly with the zeitgeist of the time.  However, the implementation was awful.
