Back in Season 3, when Leonard and Penny fought and Sheldon’s reaction was to run away, it was funny. Now that it’s my reaction to them, it’s significantly less amusing. Please stop, show. Stop with the fighting. Stop making Penny stupid. Just…stop.

Looking forward to the reviews, but I'm most grateful to you for bringing "The Night of the Doctor" to my attention. I'm so out of the loop I'm probably the last person to hear of it and had no idea it had been released. Totally made my day. Thanks!

I'll take your suggestion just as soon as you study up on contractions.

Hating the way they were portrayed in this particular episode does not mean I always hate them in every episode. Sheldon is not always this horrendous. Leonard's misery is not always played up to such a horrifying degree. Penny is not always this terrible at her job. Raj is not always this utterly embarrassing. Howard

Because it's one of my favorite shows currently on the air, even if it's far less consistent than it once was. At least 3 of this season's episodes were A-level for me, and most of the others were around B+/B. Which is what makes an episode this bad so dispiriting.

I loved the last two episodes, but this one was godawful, the show at its worst.

And yet, James is actually supposedly a big name respected journalist in this universe? Olivia said they needed to get Josie a sitdown with "someone big, someone experienced. A Diane Sawyer, a James Novak." Which made me laugh out loud. Seriously? At the end of last season he was getting his big break by getting the

No, it was pretty clear Fitz didn't know her mother was on the plane. He wouldn't have looked so devastated when she revealed it, or had so much trouble coming up with the next "I don't know what you're talking about" without prompting. He would have had no reaction at all.

Yes. Josie all the way.

I'm assuming Dan Bucatinsky had something to do with it, since he and Kudrow are partners in their own production company.

Rock on, Josie Marcus. That speech was everything.

And just because it deserves to be shared, "End of the Curse":

Yep, this was the best episode yet, and I'm fully on board with this show. The menopause stuff was all fairly hackneyed—the whole "she thinks she's pregnant, but it's actually menopause" stuff gave me flashbacks to "The Golden Girls," which unsurprisingly dealt with the material with more heart and insight than this

I thought this was the best episode yet. A good amount of Bonnie being funny and not an asshole, the daughter wasn't a psycho bitch, the main plot was more grounded and human than the first Justin Long episode, and the final bit with the chef producing the pie and Christy hitting Gabriel in the face was one of the

Sheldon put her on the list for his tree fort! That's a win!

I enjoyed the episode, but I miss the days when the show wasn't doing the same relationship comedy other shows have done for years. After two weeks of "Everybody Loves Raymond" plots (guy manipulates his partner into having sex with him; wife gets mad husband doesn't want to spend time with her), we arrived right at

Eh, her IMDB page says she's having no trouble landing jobs. I'm assuming that she and Allison Janney are friends since they were in "The Help" together and Spencer either was doing Janney a favor by appearing on the show or just wanted to hang out with her friend for a week for kicks.

Yep, I thought this was a step up too. I recognized that it was kind of plotless and wandering all over the place, but I'll take that over cringe-inducing and actively aggravating. Bonnie was more tolerable (and it probably helped having a character come in and tell her off). The evil daughter was limited to a single,

Mellie should always be drunk. Always.

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it, but when I think of scary X-Files episodes, I remember being terrified by "Die Hand Die Verletzt," an episode I seldom see mentioned in this kind of discussion. I know it's kind of a cheesy old-school type of scary episode, but it's so well-made and effective—and scared the crap
