It feels like that's been 'preparing for the reset' by not really including Anne and Chris at all. Their plots rarely intersect with any of the other characters, making them smaller C plots that can be sprinkled into episodes here or there. When was the last time Anne and Leslie had a scene together? At this point,…

She was funny in The Flu, but then again, everyone was funny in The Flu. Wait, she was also great in Greg Pickidas! Damn this show used to be great…

That I will heartily disagree with. Thor's plot was a mess with blobs of exposition thrown at the audience and plot points that were, when justified, extremely 'convenient'. The acting was, well, not really an element of the movie. It had a couple funny sight gags to keep it afloat.

I tried to work up an argument and in doing so, realized I was probably wrong. Just because it was the best of the blockbusters this year and some of the leading films in the category have their flaws doesn't mean that they are qualitatively interchangeable.

This'll get me laughed at, but I think Catching Fire should have received a nod for best feature or cinematography. It was well paced, emotional, and largely well-acted. Had Jennifer Lawrence phoned it in a bit, but I would argue that it was a more coherent, moving film than American Hustle.

It was paced poorly, Jennifer Lawrence was in a different movie than everyone else and Bradley Cooper phoned in his performance. Scratch that, Bradley Cooper tried hard and failed. It was fun, but it wasn't great.

Am I the only person who thought Bradley Cooper was by far the weakest element in the cast? It seemed like it was Pat Solitano from Silver Linings all over again. The mannerisms, the voice, the inflection…it was the same performance, just a different haircut. He made no efforts to differentiate the performances. …

Oh hugely so. It's powerful. I meant to comment on the fact that it would be weird for Ben to book a singing telegram for a song without any words.

This episode was a great return to form, ironing out some of Parks' more problematic issues. The show shines best when it feels honest and real. For the past two seasons, many of the shows star players (Ron, Tom and Andy mainly) have been turned into caricatures, the unique attributes that made them great exploited…

She mentioned that Leslie had some buzz about her (an international award and a campaign against over-sized sodas). As such, she's ready for a bigger platform, a bigger role.

Isn't it the Winter Overture? Isn't that the only song in it…a song that doesn't have words?

He must have at a certain point. Stephanie confronted him about the corn silk nests and said flat out, you aren't up for elimination; if it tanks, we're (Herself and Shirley) the ones who will bear the brunt of it. In that respect, he was selfish and foolish. I do not, however, begrudge his choice to not resign. …

It's tragic to see a chef go home for one of the best dishes of the night. Still, to ask Nick to resign for his efforts just isn't fair. He made ambitious, untested choices based on the fact that he had immunity; his plan for approaching the challenge would have been drastically different had he been risking his…

So Katherine is going to 'travel' in Elena's body, no? Cut to: hilarious scenes of 'Elena' waking up in bed with Damon, giving snark on his performance before walking over to Stefan's room. They can share the body, but not the girl. It's a gross love story for a modern age.

I wanted them to gripe about how expensive Claritan is, followed up by her taking Clearital or some equally off-brand, and inneffective solution.

Plus, with their winner from last season having gone home over management issues, maybe they realized that shipping off better chefs for their incompetent partner's flaws isn't such a wise plan.
