Whoever wants that book on their shelf is either a film-maniac (then, and only then, is it excusable) or they really need to talk to someone before it's too late.

No, but it had accents in wrong places, just like people who don't know the meaning read something. It sounded like a bad imitation of Russian.

Opening that card was a real winning move, Michael.

This show has become impossible to comment on, so the biggest question for me was why they didn't get more extras to fill out the room at the "work gala."

The relief when I realized that the message was feigned was the strongest emotion I've ever had about this show. Because if it wasn't, that would be really fucked up.

Okay, so I'm assuming they let an intern write this one, right? First off, the clichéd dialogue ("Do you know what love is? … Forgiveness." Seriously?). Then Adam and Kristina apologizing to Max, which was just stupid. Zeek telling Drew he "let him down" was really a reaction worthy of a fifteen-year old. Then there's…

Penny's waking up after she's had her face tattooed was the first genuinely scary moment in the whole season for me.

The Manny - Hailey thing is getting creepy. As for Lily and her attitude, I agree we've been there before. Multiple cringeworthy times.

It's a pity that Brett Dier is at the very beginning of his career, and already established as "the guy who sniffles a lot." He had pretty much the same persona on Ravenswood, and that really sucks for him.

Ginnifer Goodwin seems to be pregnant for years now.

A triumvirate is literally "a three man group," man as in "male." Sorry. I had to.

You're right, it's not the same. Forgetting a second or third language is way easier and more natural than forgetting your mother tongue. I may struggle with my first language from time to time, because I spend so much time in an Anglophone environment, but I'm still proficient in it. As should Manny be. And yes,…

I'm not hostile towards better education. I am, however, opposed to poor storyline work, which this seems to be.
Aside from that, people unable to keep up with college work (see: Axl) will struggle for years, wasting money they don't have, and time they could be spending learning skills that will help them in the real…

Sorry, I didn't really pay attention much, because I was busy shouting I HATE YOU KRISTINA, GO AWAY. Even her reaction to the drivers being pissed off that she's crossing a busy road - "What is wrong with you?" - more like what is wrong with you, Kristina.

Yes, but his caring is more like an afterthought generated by absolute necessity (that does sound idiotic, but I don't know how to express it better). I mean, we had a whole major storyline about Luke not mourning in the right way after the neighbour died, which is super sensitive parenting, but here a kid has been…

That didn't occur to me, and it would actually be nice if that's what it was.

Yes, people seem to be generally opposed to the "dumb" part. I didn't really mean that only as her grades go. I meant that she's completely clueless in many things, and her optimism borders on delusion. She's definitely not a big thinker.

You make a good point. I don't know the conditions in the US, so I'm not exactly sure how it is with colleges (we have vocational training at high-school level where I live). But I stick with the immature part - Sue would have to live at home while going to college. It doesn't seem like she can operate the washing…

Yeah, The Middle has the best continuity of all (I haven't seen Arrested Development, which is legendary for callbacks, so I'm going with this).

YES. That bugged me so much.
