Maureen Morrison, thank you so much for voting for RISK!  I discovered it about a month ago and binged on all the episodes.  It's quickly become one of my favorites.

I liked all three of these story lines.  The one thing I do wish is that Robin hadn't been basically stranded on her own.  I know that Ted/Barney were watching her on TV at the end- so her story did tie in a little bit with theirs- but she really only had any interaction with Sandy and Kevin, not anyone in the core…

Oh!  And, I just realized that this idea of spending an episode with each of the other characters reminds me of Scrubs, which would do the same thing one to two times a season.  Always an enjoyable change of pace.

Oooh, I would really like an episode from Barney's point of view as well.  Lily, I'm not  so sure about.  (I'm not anti-Lily, I just don't know if it would be that fun or enlightening.  It would really depend on what the writers did with it.)

Yup.  This.  Kevin is a complete creep and totally unprofessional for dating her, regardless of whether or not they'd terminated their sessions.  It's just gross and wrong.

Whatever.  I'd take Gail Simmons just the way she is now over Padma Lakshmi any day.  Va va voom.

But Piney was bluffing the whole time.  He never had the letters.  Tara only told him about them; she never gave them to him.  She hid the letters in a box in the storage unit and at least as far as the audience knows, they're still there.

I thought that what the show was trying to make us feel so dramatic about what the situation that this puts Will in.  I mean, we as viewers can be fairly certain that Alicia won't be fired.  But Will as a character will think it's a serious risk.  Privately, he wants to try to protect her, but to Diane he has to agree…

I'm reserving judgment on this.  We actually have no idea why he stopped to stare out the parking garage (It didn't particularly seem like he was searching for something.  Maybe he was just thinking about something.) or why he turned around and walked away.  It wasn't necessarily because he used his Spidey sense and…

Also, does anyone else think it will turn out that Georgie really didn't kill Luann?  Right now the club still intends to kill him once the thing with the Asian businessmen is done, so Bobby's lie doesn't seem like such a big deal.  But it will become one if the club finds out that it wasn't really Georgie, and…

I think you misunderstood what SAMCRO wants to do with the Asian businessmen.  They're not looking to go into business with them and share some of their profits.  They're looking to have them pretend to be big investors in Hale's Charming Heights, so that he thinks he's found all the money he's looking for and stops…

I felt really bad for him.  Yes, you're right, legally "she's my girlfriend" isn't a justification.  But what the hell was he supposed to do?  She was too drunk to put a complete sentence together or stand without falling over.  He couldn't leave her there; he felt that she wasn't safe or capable of getting home on…

Oh God, it was just too clever by half.  And he even mentioned it with Michael B. Jordan in the car.

I agree with you that Alex's legal situation could be solved in lots of different ways and we just have to wait and see.  I also agree that cops showing up at a drunken teenage party doesn't automatically equal teenagers getting arrested.

Besides his photo being on the wall since season 1 and a few other pictures being shown in various episodes, Jax briefly hallucinated his dad after that bomb exploded outside of the barn when they were in Ireland.  It was only for a few seconds, and then the vision of his father turned into the real-life Clay.

Lydekker, I believe you mean the Gothic Asshole.

Jeez, BeijingCat, for a second after I read that, I thought you were trying to convince us all that *you* are a former IRA operative.  Which, you know, could've been an interesting tale…

Speaking of, why the hell didn't he just kill Anton and take all tapes, etc. that the guy had on him and Fiona?  I mean, he'd probably have to beat him up and interrogate him first to get answers on where Anton is hiding everything (backup copies, etc.), but he's got his super special Michael Jedi Mind Powers, so that…

Yes, I always love it on TV shows/movies when psychiatrist somehow equals great and all-knowing mindreader.

Generally speaking, I think Barnes and Noble is getting a bad rap here.  As someone who worked at one for awhile and always preferred them over Borders, here's what I'll say about it:
