Wait, so this piece coming out now *isn't* to coincide with the release of season 3? Does that mean that season 2 just came out in the US? I'm a little confused. Guess I'll edit a bit.

WARNING: DEFINITE spoilers below.

You mean, like, acting like a dick in the memorial section of a comment board because you feel compelled to ram some half-assed moralistic point down people's throats? See, if you really have to do that, start your own thread and shut up when nobody bothers engaging anymore. Don't restart it by replying to every other…

Wow. So, you think people cheat because they rationally believe that it's the best thing to do for their relationship? Everyone knows there's no excuse for cheating, and yet it mysteriously keeps happening! People screw up, people drift apart, they try to revisit an old fling to see if that'll make them feel what they…

People focusing on the fact that the grain ultimately helped Liam uncover the truth are completely missing the point of this episode. If you go back and listen to the details surrounding their relationship, it boils down to two things:
1) Ffion had a past fling with Jonas, which she downplayed when discussing it early…

If I was to build a secret room (for candy and/or Star Wars memorabilia, of course!), I would build it somewhere out of the way instead of the place I work from and can be most commonly found at. Then the rolling case becomes a non-issue. Just saying.

I commend your sportsmanship, sir. :)

Like I said above, I don't completely disagree with everything you're saying. Since we're basically locked in a mano-a-mano thesis-off in the middle of this thread, I'll detail where we diverge: As I see it, America's cultural weight is a direct relation to the size of its entertainment industry, which in turn is…

I don't contend that, which is why I edited my post. My point was that polygraphs are so frequently unreliable that they are considered useless by the bulk of law enforcement worldwide and that for that very reason they are forbidden in several US states, among them New York. Legally speaking, it not only means that…

I don't take umbrage at your taste so much as the way you attempted to call out Americans on being close-minded by piling together a bunch of shows of which you apparently only have cursory knowledge and then swiftly dismissing them as "not funny" - which, to me, sounds like the very definition of close-mindedness.…

Not a comment on the episode per se, just came here to gripe about one thing (which is more of a generalized peeve with crime procedurals) - the polygraph bugged the hell out of me. Polygraphs aren't "iffy" - they are HUGELY unreliable and ANYONE can be easily taught to fool them with a variety of techniques. It's not…

Oh, you mean abroad?

You completely had me until your penultimate paragraph, then dashed all that goodwill on the rocks, first by your lumping together a bunch of shows that have very little to do with each other style and format-wise, then by your mass rejection of some of the greatest televised comedy put out in North America in the…

As someone who jumped early on the "Finn is a waste of space" bandwagon, I still think you should give the poor monkey a break, Rowan. When he first appeared on the show, I was hoping for the little bastard to bite it, but at this point he's shown himself to be so completely pathetic that even *I* was rooting for him…

Yeah, I think at this point it's pretty obvious that Jess relies on her power only when she's exhausted all other possibilities, most likely because she doesn't really think of herself as a superhero or crime fighter. She just wants to be a normal girl. Of course, this is all conjecture as the writers seem to have…

To further expand on your criticism of Sava's "Penny wouldn't be that stupid" criticism: It's pretty clear to me the writers were implying that Penny was drunk at the time, and not soberly getting married without knowing what's going on. Sheldon would have no issue calling Penny out on acting stupidly, but instead…

Well, there's also the fact that girls tend to hit puberty earlier than boys. So… it could be an age difference thing, but it could also simply be biology. The corollary of that is that girls tend to develop crushes on the opposite sex before said sex does away with its "ewww! girls have cooties!" mentality.

Yeah, or you know, they could just be human beings (go Greendale!) who are slightly fazed by major changes relating to a show they love as much as the fans, making them slightly off their game. Oh, hey, I have an idea! How about we *don't* judge an entire season of TV based on its first 22 minutes! Maybe reconvene…

I just calls it like I sees it. Also I plan to incorporate paragraph breaks in future instalments. Stay tuned!

Just my two cents way too late after the fact: I think short of a masterpiece, there was no way for this premiere to be accepted by the fandom, if only because this was the first Harmon-less ep of a series that is extremely difficult to untangle from its original showrunner's identity. The fact is, yes, it did feel…
