I wonder if it's entirely coincidental that my three favorite CBS shows - this, Person of Interest and The Good Wife - all have better-than-average depictions of female characters. I guess that's just a good indicator of better-than-average writing in general.

Her getting fired from SNL for being "fat" was so fucked up.

Ted going back to the Robin well just proves to me he hasn't exactly matured sufficiently over the years. Whatever kind of person the Mother is, I'm now officially convinced she deserves so much better than Ted Mosby.

Apparently Carrie Preston has hacked my tear-ducts because I teared up in the proposal scene last week and my eyes again welled up when she came to find Harold and only found the book.

Matt Berry is everything.

You really nailed it with the workplace comedy vs romantic comedy observation. Kaling writes romantic comedy that dares to be romantic, and ends up being really funny and poignant. That really needs to be the focus, with some established side characters for her to confide in or shoot one-liners at, but none of these…

I'm a big cheerleader for this show, despite its numerous flaws. I think it succeeds when it's content in being this spry little bite-sized romcom, and its aimlessness doesn't bother me whenever I watch multiple episodes back-to.back. So as of now I'm about 3 episodes behind, looking to catch up eventually - these…

Look, it's a pickle. You want to up your company's profile and get involved in some good causes, like stopping bullying. You want to use your most popular stars for these causes.

I tried the latest episode of DLM because I love Greg Proops (my favorite nasal pontificator!) but I just felt like I had to be high to get it or find it funny, what with the cavalcade of characters.

I just can't get into two pods everybody else seems to be digging: Doug Loves Movies & Comedy Bang Bang. Do I just need to listen to them from the beginning to understand all the characters and the dynamics that these guys get into? I feel like I'm missing out, but every time I begin an episode to give it a try, I…

Also: the way Trevor says "actor".

He's not an exec, but an accountant - a low level employee. The whole situation is so rapid, it's not like they have time to check with said oil company to find out which of their employees might be missing. The president does the morally right choice by calling the Mandarin within 30 seconds, but the Mandarin has no…

I'm not 100% sure but I think they showed the actor playing the oil guy (who was an accountant, not an exec) talking to the drunken girl who gives Tony the finger-guns after he takes away the other guy's gun (classic performance, that). So essentially, he was a part of the charade as well.

I loved this twist. I loved the fact that Guy Pearce had no fucked-up justification or greater goal, other than to just make money by creating a disease and selling the cure.

Three things this review completely forgets to mention:

I think going into any film with lowered expectations is going to be good. I know so many people who went "meh" at Avengers because everybody ahead of them had hyped it so much.

This is that sequel. Seriously.

Yep, they ruined the inherent racism of that character. How very dare they!

Haven't we all, though?

Can I get in on that action?
