I'm loving every minute of it. Especially given that Martin often plays "everyman" roles. Granted, he is exceptionally talented; I've never seen someone with the ability to convey multiple emotions with a glance quite like him…still Lester is a different role than any he's ever played. He only SEEMS like an…

I am in love with Lester. Well…Martin Freeman rather. But I absolutely LOVED the convo between Lester and Bill. It's amazing how competent Lester has gotten at lying. He is shrewd and much more cunning and intelligent than it seemed in the beginning.

During an earlier interview between Molly and Lester, he was talking about finding his wife's body and how the spin cycle was on. When she went to the basement, she saw the washer was unplugged from the wall.

Molly is the heart of the show. Not saying she CAN'T die, but she won't until the end of the season at least, IF it happens.

YES! I'm from Iowa, and I was so happy to hear the use of the word "pop" as well. I was like "holy shit, did I really just hear that?!"

So am I, she deserves it. She came out of nowhere like a whirlwind, but she's a real talent! Everything about her makes you sit up and take notice.

Oh yes, I think it's going to happen. Lester has finally gotten the attitude of "It's time to get what's mine." The ironic thing is that it's Lester embracing crime that has led to this newfound confidence and happiness within himself. He presumably ALWAYS had the power to refuse to be bullied, to stand up for…

It's very true. Particularly because there's nothing about Molly physically or personality-wise that really STANDS OUT. It's like she's more than the sum of her parts. We can have honest-to-goodness people on TV, but they always have to be a little crazy or quirky or overtly funny or overtly intelligent. They have…

I LOVE Lester! But in all fairness, I think he's MEANT to be a polarizing character.

Lester is my favorite character, and he becomes more and more so as time goes on. Yes, he's an antagonist, but watching his transformation is pretty incredible. As an insurance salesman, he was pathetic and crappy, with a wife who psychologically abused him and a brother who constantly belittled him. Killing his…

I agree with your points, but the death of Stavros' son WAS an actual accident. All your other examples were purposeful harm caused by others, and Stavros' son died from an actual freak nature event.

Martin Freeman completely SHINED this episode. To watch the
completion of his transformation from E1 until now is breathtaking. The
confidence he shows in his moves now, his complete lack of remorse, how
good he's become at lying, his weird orgasmic triumph looking at Sam's
picture while he nails his wife….man, it was…

This is the darkest timeline.

This is why I have a theory that the injury is psychosomatic. It's unrealistic because the injury ISN'T REAL. I mentioned this higher up in the post, but it only bothers Lester when he's feeling guilty and not one other person has mentioned it.

I may be the only person who thinks so, but I have a feeling that Lester's injury is psychosomatic a la The Telltale Heart. Molly, an intelligent woman, is suspicious of Lester and has questioned him several times but hasn't noticed his injured hand. The doctors and nurses at the hospital who treated Lester for his…

I give the episode an A-.
I give the season an A- as well.
But since we know minuses are made up, I guess I'm really grading them an A.

Donald Sutherland is definitely hotter. But I love Elliot Gould's hair more, at least his 70's era, dark curly mop.

Year of Penny, suck it.

Actually, Abed has looked at the camera many times during the series, but usually when he was doing something with Troy. Examples: Troy and Abed in the Morning or certain end tags like when they were sewn together and when they were Bert and Ernie. They also both looked at the camera during the Christmas rap.

True fans call him Dave.
