Poppycock! I called it at the arraignment.

And I hated Alicia's comment to Maddie about women not being able to be friends with each other. Though I guess if her only female friends have been Maddie, Kalinda, and the women who ditched her after Peter's arrest, I suppose that explains her jadedness. Hence her astonishment at Louis Canning's wife's politeness.

Was there any reason why Alicia couldn't tell the associates the reasoning behind the hour cutbacks, and that the mandate came from higher up?

Agreed. And Elspeth really is unimpeachable, as that Indian food looked amazing!

The way Hannah's storyline has been going this season, I half-expected her to throw herself on Bob Balaban.

Eh, not that the doorman is any better, but one shouldn't have to be in relationship where the other person gets to patronize you that much ('What did I tell you about air quotes?') If it's creepy for you to go to her friend's party, it's creepy for you to be in a relationship with her.

Yes, I'm going to marry a carrot.

Don't act like you don't like it!

"Bart of Darkness" is one of my favorite episodes, but I take your point. The puns are the later seasons' way of overcompensating, maybe.

"Writing an episode based on either Abe or Lisa is difficult." And you would know this because? 
And I've said this before in this forum, but Lisa-centric episodes are among my favorites ("Lisa's Wedding," 'Lisa's Rival," "I Love Lisa," "Lisa the Vegetarian," etc.), and Lisa herself is incredibly funny. She has her

"Hey Jiggles, grab a pad and back that gorgeous butt in here."

Hey, the guy referenced Brigadoon in "You Think You Know Someone." He wasn't always jaded.

Poor Schmidt! I actually feel extremely indignant on his behalf. As funny as it was, it is beyond classless to propose to your girlfriend at her ex-boyfriend's party.

If only they didn't use that stupid fatsuit.

I think this episode deserves a higher grade. I was unimpressed and sometimes annoyed by the first season's half of Bunheads, and only kept watching out of loyalty to "Gilmore Girls" and love of ballet—but this second half of the season has entirely turned it around and made it essential viewing. It's given the main

Homer's lax expired food policy is further explored with the ten-foot hoagie in "Selma's Choice." Continuity!

Poor Tu. He didn't realize the subtext of "She loves her curves" is "Hide them, dear God, please hide them!"

Also cringeworthy, the idea that "Demoiselles d'Avignon" sank with the Titanic.

A lot of the examples above are modern.
