I would have given this episode a solid B+/A-. The only thing that was slightly off was the prolonged Simon-bashing, which was partially redeemed by Ellie's confession near the end about everyone feeling stupid about something, but it just seemed like it ragged on Laurie for a little too long before that point.

Apropos of nothing in particular, have there been any speculation as to any upcoming titles of the future books in the series? (beyond "The Winds of Winter"?)

Hands down funniest exchange of the night:

Oh, please god do not have Laurie and Travis start dating.

Are you kidding me? A sitcom's producer shouldn't worry about an offensive title keeping viewers away?? So I suppose by your thinking, if the producers of "The Golden Girls" had said fuck it and titled their show "The Golden Nymphos", it still would have been a top 10 show for 6 out of 7 seasons and won 2 Emmys??…

It was obviously an example, asshat. But kudos on the witty screenwriting for your little webisode. Jim Rash is probably looking over his shoulder for you now!

Jesus H. Christ—-the best show of the season (and possibly of the series) and the ratings sank to an all-time low. At this point, its pretty clear that it is the title itself (and not simply the premise) that is keeping the viewers away.

She was in the first few episodes of the last season on NBC—where she came in as Kelso's replacement temporarily until she got canned by the board of directors (thanks to Jordan.)

Look, I'm a huge fan and I was really really looking forward to checking the web on the morning after the Feb 14 premiere and reading about CT's triumphant return after all the buzz from the viewing parties and the emphasis on the engagement. But with the ratings going down after all the promotion on GMA, Kimmel, The…

See my above reply to Cliffy.

Yes, I heard that interview. And my point is that they are losing far greater ratings at this point due to the larger number of people not wanting to be associated with a show with the word "Cougar" in the title than those that they would lose from people who might somehow not realize (after being invested enough to…

Oh, how droll of both of you. My point is that it's not the premise anymore that is keeping away viewers, its actually the word 'Cougar' in the title. It's more toxic to a vast majority of viewers than most of us (who are already fans of the show) really appreciate.

I really hope that I am wrong about this, but I have a feeling that tomorrow morning's ratings aren't going to be higher than the past three weeks. Which is a travesty, because CT is one of the smartest, funniest comedies with heart on tv right now.

"This his appearance in “My Big Brother” yet another piece of network synergy last season’s Sean Hayes cameo. "   hey, I think you dropped something…like a couple of vowels and words. Here ya go:

I'm sorry, but this reviewer is way off. This movie was compelling and the action sequences were filmed in a tight, kinetic style. I caught myself bunching up my fists in tension several times during the combat scenes, and then actually felt the tension release from my body with a sense of "fuck, yeah!" at the end of…

New name for a glass of wine with six yellow pills crushed up in it: Shirazzzzzzzz

So, I might be a little slow, but just to clarify: Shelby was never actually there with Rachel when they sang their duet, right? Rachel was just imagining her mother giving her that motivational speech and singing with her, based on that last shot when they panned around her and Shelby was there one moment and then…

You guys are WAYYYY over thinking Brandon. He's commented several times about making mistakes in the past and causing pain in his marriage. He obviously got caught cheating. His wife was probably not crazy about him going to a South Pacific island for 40 days with the usual bikini model-type contestants they have, and…
