Great ending, but any excitement I felt was tempered by the fact that the last episode had a great ending…which led to forty-odd minutes (minus commercials) of wheel-spinning before that final moment.

Because it's the first thing that comes to mind, and because it never, ever gets old:
As usual, Mellie is the most compelling character on the show, and Fitz is a stupid asshole, though even more so than normal, in both stupidity and assholery. God, he's awful.
According to his Wikipedia page, the character was named after a real person with that name who Annie Potts met while working a movie. I should have known it had to be one those "too weird to be made up" things, because who would ever just happen to think of a name like that?
Thanks to the (seemingly) increasing number of people who use the Bible to justify their bullshit, I think this is the Simpsons quote I use/think of the most in everyday life.
THANK YOU. This article has so many factual errors that it's very disappointing, especially if those errors are perpetuated thanks to it. The idea that Terrance Howard was "catapulted" into the series is the most egregious (I mean, he's pictured in the original cast photo AT THE TOP OF THE ARTICLE with a bunch of…
It's not really about being professional, though. He's not just her doctor. He's supposed to be her friend. What kind of friend sends someone to such a terrible doctor? (Answer, of course: a bad one)
A lot of really good emotional stuff that was effective, but it was frustrating that I kept getting hung up on the stupid stuff.
This times 1000. The Jacqueline/Lillian parts and some of the moments between the mole women saved the final episode for me, but I couldn't take the next to last episode at all. I think I've rewatched every episode at least three times, but after only a few minutes of trying to watch "Kimmy Goes to Court" again I had…
One of my favorite episodes (and the last great one, IMO, since the guest stars and their interminable courtroom scenes kind of derail the rest of the season for me). Every moment of Titus' plot is genius, and I've had "Daddy's Boy" in my head for a week. I love how the show sets things up in advance—like Logan…
My favorite joke, in an episode full of great ones, comes at the end: In the credits for "Daddy's Boy," one of the names listed is "Thom von Finland." Heh. Perfect. (It also makes me wonder how many people would get it, which only makes me love the writers more for including it.)
Man, I love this episode so much, and the dancing scene is so unexpectedly romantic and moving. It always bummed me out that they broke up Edna and Seymour, one of the best relationships the show ever had. Such a huge mistake, IMO.
Different strokes and all, but I've never really considered the first 6 of season 3 as weak as many people claim, and frankly, I think "The Glass Ballerina" may be the strongest of the 6. I was always less obsessed with the demand to "Tell me something neeeeeewwwwwwww!" as many viewers; I just wanted an interesting…
I really enjoyed the Augustin/Eddie plot, and thought it was the best part of the episode. The sex scene was very natural and really well done.
Yep, this was welcome after the Cucumber episode, yet so great it would have been wonderful at any time. Both of these were episodes of television I wished I could share with everyone I knew (but that would require them to access them through less than legal means. Not that I'm doing that or anything…**ahem**). The…
I haven't really been sure about my feelings about Cucumber up to this point, but this particular episode was simply superb, easily one of the best episodes of television I've seen in the past year. Days later, I'm still thinking about it. That scene with Hazel on the street—just haunting in multiple ways. Lance's…
The Producer's Cut is now up on NBC.com and Hulu. It's 10 minutes longer! Loved seeing a few of the future scenes for other characters that were cut (especially Shauna's, which I never saw coming, but was perfect.)
They did! It's in the extended Producer's Cut (10 minutes longer!) that's now up on NBC.com and hulu. Shauna gets a happy ending!
I don't get the appeal or the point of the new doctor at all. And yes, every person who's been hired there—Morgan, Peter and now this guy—has been hired the exact same way: they come in, seem completely inappropriate, then prove they have skills completely incongruous with their previous behavior and are hired (and…
Agreed that what hit me hardest was Ron, not just his story (which was perfect), but seeing the way they subtly aged him. In the scene at Very Good, I thought, he isn't looking, well, very good. It took me a second to realize he was just looking older. And yeah, that hit me hard. Because damn it, Ron Swanson's not…
