Much better ever since she was invited to dinner.

I thought the man-otaur was still alive. I could swear that the eyes and mouth were still animated when she looked in the box. I'll have to go back and watch again but I assumed it was still alive but without its body.

Laugh out loud moment for me was the old "On 3. On 3 or on go?" gag. Loved to see that with morse code.

Aha! I missed that. Thanks for the clarification. I was getting creeped out.

one thing I'm confused about. the other guy from the Wire is hooking up with the new woman. Have they established that he split with his wife? Wasn't that her leading the venture to the store? Did I miss something?

Yeah I remember that but at the time I just knew that it appeared that he had completely run out of ideas.  I never read anything else by him and never missed it.  His type of fiction had run its course with me I guess.

I'm done.  The  stupidity of this show is just too much.  I don't know why I bother watching anything by King anymore since I stopped reading him at Cujo.  They couldn't do a very good job bringing his work to the screen when he was actually doing things that were fresh so why should I expect anything now?

Just because the doctor says he was repaired and guided by nanites doesn't mean she is correct.  I think there's plenty of reason that she or somebody would want to stop any talk of a messiah in the town.  I'm not saying this is the case but the doctor has already proven to be hiding something so I wouldn't put to…

I keep watching this show, hoping that it will finally find its footing but it has really gone from something groundbreaking to just another sitcom with all the tropes one expects from the genre.  Characters are shifting in ways that make them unrecognizable from previous seasons and everything just seems forced.

No I didn't realize that.  So if they do grade according to skill level as you say, the AV Club gives out as many A ratings to 2 1/2 Men as they do to Downton Abbey?  The shows are graded against themselves and not based on a basic scale of quality?  Wow, that changes everything.  I'll never trust their ratings again.

Sure, this was a better episode but you grade it an "A?"  Come on Zack, you're grading on a curve.  Would you rate a Breaking Bad episode an A if it was this level of quality?  I don't think so.

Mike White, the actor and screenwriter, was on the WTF podcast and talked about his Amazing Race experience recently.  He mentioned what is called "Survivor Dick" which supposedly is a result of the high level of adrenaline etc. from the experience.  Anyway, he said that for some people leaving these such games can go…

Shamar is classically immature.  What other behaviors would better demonstrate it?  And you suggest racism in her comment?  Yes, you are projecting.

I don't know all the facts but I understand that Shamar was a supply guy in Iraq.  Not to diminish his service but if that is true then I'm pretty sure the guy is exaggerating his combat experience.  I'm a vet and my dad was a vet of 3 wars so I have nothing but respect for the military but the truth is that some…

I tuned into Harmon's podcasts after he was booted from the show to try to wring out a little more entertainment from the guy that created my favorite comedy but his ADD schtick grows tiresome very quickly and I thought perhaps there was good reason to can him.

I must not have seen the same episode because this episode is not the hands-down-worst-episode-ever only because of last week's episode.  They've completely gone off the rails.  The characters are completely lost and no longer have any kind of internal integrity, the jokes aren't funny and the whole thing just seems…

To me every character seemed a bit lost and not quite who they were and should be.  It felt like at the beginning that they were making a bold statement about the absurdity of the drama that the show has gone through but in the end it didn't seem that way at all.  It just felt like some people were really trying to…

glad you're enjoying it but I frankly I think they've betrayed every single character on the show.  They have people behaving in ways that just don't fit who we've come to know them as.  It's hard to root for people when they become a collection of jerks who are prone to the most random action at any moment.

I'm only still watching the office because I want to see it play out to the end but each episode has become an effort instead of any kind of entertainment.  They've completely betrayed any kind of commitment to any character and have turned them all into greater cartoons than they already were.
