So I wasn't crazy about most of this episode, but that final Peter-Olivia scene redeemed it all for me, power of luuurv and all, mainly because Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson sold it so well.  And I thought JJ did a great job modulating subtly between human-Peter voice and Observer-Peter voice - the former breaking…

Aw, don't pick on Sheldon - he's lovable precisely because he's a bit of a fish out of water (though obviously talented).  Love his smile.

I remember thinking that extra dig might have helped get him eliminated.  I can see that not sitting well with Gail, who was playing tiebreaker.

I dunno, I kinda like the crime storyline, with or without Hector - very "Big Sleep"ish.  But then I'm a sucker for most things noir.

I'm with you, too.  I haven't found John to be particularly irritating so far (though maybe the other shoe will drop soon), and he's clearly way more talented than most of the other contestants.  And Kuniko does need to work on her timing and assertiveness, though I'm definitely rooting for her in LCK.

Ah, The Hour, how I've missed you.  But I must not be remembering season 1 that well, either, because I thought the program was shut down and Bel was fired?  Angus mumbled some kind of explanation tonight of how it (and she) got saved, but didn't he say something also about Freddie taking the rap for Clarence? …
