You know you have lost your way when you steal ideas from Van Wilder. Especially when the Van Wilder scene was funnier and more in context. Also, no amount of waivers are going to protect you from a massive lawsuit for literally poisoning and humiliating a contestant on national TV. Considering what Hulk Hogan just

Jack Reacher the TV show seems more than obvious. First, it allows for a re-envisioning separate from the okay but woefully miscast Tom Cruise vehicle(s?). Second, Reacher is perfect for episodic television. It would effectively be a non-green (and hopefully massively improved) update of the old Bill Bixby

My best misheard lyric that kicks the crap out of the actual lyric is "Gun down the old man with a transistor radio" from "Brown Eyed Girl"; so much better than "Going down to the old mine …"

Can't we just give Alexandra Daddario all seven parts - a la Tatiana Maslany? Oh, and instead of the "dancing with the clones scenes," I have a far better idea . . .

"Ha Ha Harold Ramis" - epically gifted from the very earliest days of SCTV. What a loss. Not only ruined my day, but likely the rest of the week. Rest In Peace, Moe Green.

I hate to completely ruin my street cred but I had to go to Youtube and search for Sinnerman to even find out what this song was and did not remember hearing it in the episode.   Hearing it, I remembered it on the show, but I don't think I have ever heard it before.  Hard to see it in the same overuse ballpark with

The only way to "call this" was to use reverse psychology - i.e. who is the one character that they have literally given us no evidence whatsoever to suspect and therefore will be the biggest "shock."  Considering how this show fixated on every little bit of evidence and followed closely as the detectives investigated

Is the coast of Britain actually littered with weird Tolkien bonfire beacon things?  That was very much out of left field.

Did I miss the meaningful scene involving Joe prior to this episode?  I would have been hard pressed to even come up with his name until this episode.

Am I the only person that was totally irritated by this "twist"???   Seriously, the killer is revealed as a character that had about 10 minutes of screen time and absolutely no meaningful scenes in the prior seven episodes and we are supposed to hang our hats on vague comments like "anyone could commit murder"? 

Even if he were contracted, they would still have the right to fire a reporter that fabricates a story - that's grounds for termination regardless.   "Lack in institutional control" might be grounds for NCAA sanctions but not for a wrongful termination lawsuit, regardless of the type of employment relationship.

That was what Sorkin was trying to sell, but Its not much of a nuisance suit when its dismissed within 30 days of filing because he did not actually plead a valid claim.   That's my problem.  This would have been tossed before any dirty laundry got aired at all.  ACN would also have hit Jerry with a SLAPP suit

Correct, they were deposition preparation sessions - which could have been done in the context of a far more believable slander suit.   The point of the whole exercise was that Jerry's attorneys were going to take depositions, so they had to have these prep sessions.   Problem is that he never would have gotten that

I guess you have to be completely ignorant of the law, and particularly wrongful termination lawsuits, to have not been massively irritated by this entire episode.  Hate to be a wet blanket here, but I was really hoping for some actual answers to Don's opening questions about the idiocy of Jerry's lawsuit.  Instead we
