More like massive TROLL alert. Read through all his comments.

AH, gotcha. That makes perfect sense. (Although, there's always Hulu.)

The weird thing about this episode (other than what the review mentioned) was that it reverted to incompetent Jake. Previous episodes have pretty much established that Jake is actually a damn good cop. Terry even pointed him out to Holt as his "best detective" way back in the pilot.

People usually don't like being confronted with the reality of a situation and how selfish/meaningless something they're invested in is.

Plus, Rafael lied to her about almost the exact same thing Michael did (i.e., that he and Petra were in a perfectly happy, rock-solid relationship.)

But Jane is so DIFFERENT from all those shows. Honestly, if you switched the plot of an Arrow episode with one from The Flash, very few people would notice (except for die-hard comic book fans, but it's so easy to piss them off - not to mention ridiculously fun - that, y'know, screw them!)

Also: remember that if Rafael goes bankrupt, it'll be BECAUSE OF JANE and lawsuit. There is no extant universe where that does *not* constitute writing on the wall, not even in telenovelas.

That was some absolutely phenomenal acting from Brett Dier during the breakup scene.
(For the record, I'm Team Michael. When one decides to pursue a virtually unattainable romantic fantasy irregardless of the consequences, it very rarely ends well. Plus, Jane and Rafael may look happy and in love now, but then again,…

You may want points for your cancellation league, but there's thousands of people involved with the show who are equally passionate about earning points for their bank account. Are you really willing to risk that many jobs - in this economy - just so you can win some meaningless bet on the Internet, maybe maybe…

The little Braverman sex-talk huddle was absolutely priceless, especially Adam's futile attempts to insert himself into Crosby's baseball analogy explanation. And then they went and topped it by having him go all-out big brother on Julia's not-Joel.
But NO HADDIE AT THE BARBEQUE?! C'mon, Katims!

Once I finished watching the pilot, my first thought was "It's a shame Cristin Miliotti's first sitcom lead won't last long." This episode didn't do much to inspire confidence at all. It was a mildly-amusing comedy stockpiled with cliches. About as lifelike as a wax sculpture at Madame Toussad's, and a whole lot…

Dear AV Club:
The header image at the top of the page is a still from LAST WEEK's episode. Y'know, just fyi.

This show is actually going somewhere. Hopefully people can get past the pilot (which was even blander, to me anyway, than A to Z's) and enjoy the show.

That's what I meant. :P

Sarah, Crosby, Joel, I buy. But Zeek has no conflicted feelings at all? And Adam and Kristina are somehow completely nonchalant about it and just let it go without talking it to death?
Besides, Parenthood is very much a TV drama that focuses on current family issues. In the past, it's dedicated multiple episodes to…

High Terry's realizing he was black left me in stitches - Crews' physicality and facial expressions were HILARIOUS. Also, "I haven't gotten an F since I failed recess in the second grade. *mocking voice* 'Even teachers need a break, Amy!'"

I just checked IMDb, and Sarah Ramos is only listed as appearing in one episode of season four — the first one. Which means that as of now, last week was the last time we'll see Haddie. Like, ever. Which means that Parenthood's idea of dealing with sexual orientation is to mention that it exists, have it effect their…

Well, Julia was explicit last night about it being a year since Joel moved out, so apparently it's just one of those things you're supposed to just accept.

Man, last night's episode was full of the kind of emotional beats that were, for the most part, missing in season five. Welcome back, Katims.

Christina mentioned it was at least 8 months, I think.
