The clean room storyline was weaker overall, but I did enjoy Howard's bluejay story (Simon Helberg gets props for delivery) and it was nice to see Raj show some cojones towards Howard. I got a glimpse of a sassy Raj we haven't seen much past the first few seasons and it was refreshing.

I can't really reply without spoilers. Anyone know how to mask a spoiler in a reply?

I would say even more so than last season. I watched it already and this was actually the season in which I said she'd reached full Meg Griffin as far as being crapped on by her family.

Edith rocks! But the rest of the family treat her like she was and still is a carrier of the Spanish flu.

Law and Order jokes/storylines will always be funny. Jerry Orbach is a damn fine man in a suit, may he rest in peace. That storyline definitely deserved to be more fleshed out (although Community has set the bar way higher than this show could hit with L&O tributes). I also got a chuckle from the random Chris Pratt…

And simultaneously the Jan Brady/Edith Crawley/Meg Griffin. It's fascinating, really.

I'm calling it now, she and Tom will have hooked up in the intervening time on P&R.

While Tran is pure magic, I do have a weak spot for Nadia. Love to see her show up again.

To be fair, Sarah Hyland is actually 23 years old. But still does look like she's 15, so the creeper vibe is iffy.

Bangs through me off for the first 10 minutes. Completely distracting, but I think I like them.

Alex Dunphey = Edith Crawley = Jan Brady = Meg Griffin

As soon as she said it, you knew it was coming, but it was hysterical all the same.

Dude I think we typed that at the same time! lol.

At this point, if the series doesn't end with Edith burning the house over all of them as the sleep, it loses all credibility, She is officially the Meg Griffin of period dramas.

Not surprising spoiler alert, but if you've seen any of this season, it's hilarious that Robert is way more concerned about the dog than about anything that happens to Edith. Edith is now officially the Meg Griffin of period dramas.

Parsons and Bialik are just too cute for words. And I actually like that Emily is just randomly kind of dark, like a reformed goth girl or something. It's a nice outsider 'type' to add to the mix. Bernadette's reactions too her were pretty funny as well. "I like Cinderella".

So is Andy going to be a dismembered half naked zombie? I think I could get behind that.

I liked seeing the fantasy as it reminded me of the story that when Chang and Ang died one died first and the other died of fright.

When you listen to his delivery, think of Rob Lowe on P&R, Chris Treager has an evil twin.

The same events on a drama program would be very creepy, but in this reality they did not stand out to me as much creepier than things the primary guys have done. (Break into your new neighbor's house to clean?). If I took this show as literal in the way the men approach and treat women, I would never have continued…
