I think it's unfair to compare grades during season three and grades during season four. It's pretty much universally acknowledged that season three was one of the single best seasons any comedy has ever done, and season two isn't far behind. I think the reason season four seems so mediocre is that it just isn't as…

Ah… I didn't think about that, interesting. Could that be what he's holding in the promo?

"Unfortunately, I don't think Neal has a chance in hell of having his sentence commuted."

I should also point something else out that deeply troubled me. Here's the story:

The promo for the finale is like… whoa. Then again, the promo for this episode was completely and totally misleading. And to build off that, what's the deal with the coded letters? KATE IS DEAD PEOPLE. There's nothing he can do with those codes, presumably. And what could he have possibly said that would be relevant…

I'd go with Wheels…

Right, but they actually handled the coming out story delicately and poignantly. It helped that the two best actors on the show were involved in that storyline (Mike O'Malley and Chris Colfer). Here, there were times it was great, and others where it danced into soap opera territory. And that sucks. This episode…

Glee is a comedy. At least it was way back when it was a decent show. Since when did it become a soap opera? Car accident AND teen suicide, all in one episode? This PSA bullshit is exhausting. That sort of preaching wore out its welcome in season two. In short, shut the fuck up, Ryan Murphy. You haven't taught me shit.

I wouldn't give this episode an A-. WITHOUT the ridiculously awful Ann/Tom plot, it's an A-, easily. With it? B-. I really, really don't like where this is going. I did read that their relationship is merely the writers having "fun," but I think these writers may be forgetting that the prime objective is for the…

I think the bottom line about shaking up the Kurt-Blaine dynamic is that it's SO Ryan Murphy. For once, he's kept a couple together for a fairly significant amount of time. News flash: not everyone breaks up and gets back together. It's a cheap copout that many in Hollywood tend to use because it adds drama. The only…

That's so fucking depressing, yet brilliant. Remember when this show was REALLY good? The height of that is, and always will be, Casino Night. The tension, pain, longing… everything came to a head there. And instead of some saccharine, happily-ever-after solution, both principal characters—Pam and Jim—were devastated.…

By the way, Kenny, I want to commend you on personally responding to so many comments. Not ever AV club reviewer does the same, and I very much appreciate it!

I think there is a time, place and right way to imitate those rednecks. As I said, they need to take lessons from Stephen Colbert if they're trying to be funny. You have to admit that there is a sector of the Republican Party (The Tea Party, in particular) that fits both Colbert's and Glee's stereotype. The difference…

Certainly the crime solving is great, and I appreciate that the crimes are largely free of gore and nightmarish stuff, which is what sets it apart from a CSI or a Law and Order. However, I think it's a more unique show because there's this distrust between the main characters, and without that tension, much of the…

As someone who suffers from a mental illness, that scene was personally insulting. First of all, from my experience, few decent people would do such a thing—although Will is far from a decent human being. If he really loves her, and has been aware of her struggles for virtually as long as he's known her, why did his…

That's good to know. Although I'm puzzled that they would free him so soon considering the stellar ratings, if indeed it spells the end for White Collar.

Well, I'd love to join you. And kudos, Todd, for making me pay the slightest bit attention to this show, even if I can't bear to watch another minute of it.

Just… ugh. I don't want this show to become two guys solving crimes. I like that the distrust was always present between Peter and Neal, although it became too much to bear when the U-boat storyline wore out its welcome this season. The point is, much of the drama and charm of this show comes Neal Caffrey, former con…

Summer Lovin' was the breaking point. I'm serious. I've stuck with this show through Hairography, Rocky Horror, and the worst fucking piece of television I ever watched since Rocky Horror, the Christmas episode. I suppose it was because I believed that this show could return to the enjoyable, escapist sap of the pilot…

The happiness was clearly a defensive mechanism, or rather a foil to hide that he was truly depressed. He was denying that there was a problem, and the reflex was to self-indulge in hobbies until he really hit rock bottom. When he realized that his claymaysh lasted no more than five seconds, he saw that he was lost…
