Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I just realized that "The Undertaking" was not just an evil plan but an even more terrible pun, since it literally involved TAKING the ground out from UNDER the Glades.

I think people need to rewatch the hospital scene, because Moriarty DID NOT ACTUALLY CONFESS to a crime.

I don't know— using a thematic pop song in a commercial is obviously trite now, but it might have been novel at the time.

"Tellingly, Don tells Megan that he’d rather watch her scene in person than let his “imagination run wild,” which is pretty much the exact opposite of his pitch to Heinz."

"So, to recap: Dude is so desperate to murder his wife that he orchestrates the murder of another woman so as to make a previously existing Dear John video letter apply to the time of the first murder. Right."

For some reason the proposal story reminded me of Mrs. Waldo Truth being wooed at the drive-in while she was already married story.

I like "Girls" a lot, but I think calling it "profound" does it a major disservice.

Actually, Sheldon repeatedly saying "ummm" was funny, because of the way it paralleled how Penny was similarly tongue-tied in the previous scene when she couldn't come up with a reason for why Leonard shouldn't move in with her. As the reviewer noted, the unexpected commonality between Sheldon and Penny was a major…

Yes, but Schmidt saying "out" AFTER he dropped the mic was kind of funny.

It's not really all that odd. Unlike the Senate, where there's a filibuster, the minority party in the House has very little power. So Frank would have a lot less to do if he were just the Minority Whip.  I suppose they could have made him a Republican, but then the President would also have to be a Republican (since…

Just finished watching the whole thing— here are a few comments with only some mild, vague spoilers

Never mind— better explanation than one I had below.

Here's a link to Sepinwall's summary of Gansa + Gordon's press conference call: http://www.hitfix.com/whats… I think they have reasonably plausible explanations for many of Season 2's alleged plot holes, but two still stuck out:

Another reason to doubt that Brody knew about the bomb: if he did, then standing so close to a window overlooking his car would be pretty stupid.
