She kept her promises to Sophia. Granted, it was because she feared the potential lawsuit that Caputo was putting together. But the riot was big national news, and I'm sure that reporters would have followed up on whether the agreed changes were made; and, if they weren't, it would be terrible publicity for MCC (as well as possible legal problems for breach of contract, since everything would have been in writing). I second this... I was on vacation in Boston last Fall, and I heard several people talk exactly the way Badison did. One worked at the hotel reception where we stayed, one was a native-born Uber driver, and another worked in a clothes shop we visited. I remember thinking how cute it was that they really sounded that way, like Jessica Lange in American Horror Story: Asylum. Being a Texan, I didn't really notice the inconsistencies others have mentioned, though I probably would have if the accent had been southern instead of northern. I can instantly tell the difference between a Texas, Georgia, Louisiania, Alabama, Kentucky, or Tennessee accent.

Aaaaaand now I need a deleted scene with Kripke officiating and quoting the whole scene. "Mawwaige. Mawwaige is what bwings us togevver today. Mawwaige, that bwessed awwangement. That dweam wivvin a dweam."

I was thinking maybe she was trying on bridesmaid dresses?

Not to mention THIS!

How has nobody said anything here about Peter Dinklage's badass Superbowl commercial? It ruled! He's the best.

Right... and there is a very good reason for that rule... because most couples get back together after being seperated, rather than divorce (and that's exactly what happened in this episode). Marriage is intended to be a stable institution, not to be taken lightly. If you get a divorce, you should be sure that it's what you really want, and is what's best for your family. That's why treating it lightly, as was done in this case, is offensive rather than humorous. There is an option for people who have been recently married, and find that they regret it or that the love isn't really there, and it's called annulment. That does not require separation, and is not the lengthy process of divorce. But that would not apply in the case of the two portrated on the show, because they had been married for years and were even discussing children.

...Not according to her vows. I agree wholeheartedly with those above who have stated their objections to the idea that being "seperated" from your spouse for two weeks and thinking that's a perfectly valid time to start up a sexual or romantic relationship with someone else is a) good comedy, or b) anything other than repulsive and morally bankrupt. If you and your spouse are that far gone, just get the divorce and then move on. And this show must agree with me on that, because it didn't take much to get the couple back together, so yeah... it was definitely cheating on her part, even though the husband had moved out. YMMV. My favorite exchange of the episode was this: Raj: "Am I like the good guy in my movie or the bad guy in their movie?" Bernadette: "Pretty sure you're the weird friend in our movie."

And that way is to BE a different type of singing competition. When AI began, it didn't go around telling everyone is was going to be a different kind of singing competition, it succeeded because it was exactly that. Also, Kelly Clarkson. And that's one of the main problems here, in my opinion... none of these contestants is talented. The judges keep saying these are the GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME or whatever, and NONE of them are even acceptable to me. It makes me weep for modern society every time the judges gush over them. It probably doesn't help that I hate most of the songs they sing too, and all the warbling. I've always believed that singing competition contestants do that because they just can't hold (or find) the note. There are so many truly amazing singers on The Voice, that it's ludicrous to call anyone on this show worthy. YMMV. I came for Meghan Trainor, and just to see what it was all about. But, after one episode, I'm done with it. The judges are all terrible (...still love you, Meghan!), Fergie is not a good tv host, the premise is somewhat interesting, but the execution is extremely flawed. And I agree with all of the criticisms mentioned above. This show sucks, period. Ugh.

YES, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! And, at some point, I need John DeLancie to say "Red Alert". Lol

That's how it was in the early years of the Simpsons. I agree with everything that's already beens said, and thought this was one of the best episodes of a show with all great episodes. Ditto on the hotness of everyone in their disguises, and Tahani's amazing American accent. Jortles! Oh, Michael. You've come so far...poor Eleanor. Someone earlier commented on Sean's "naughty bitch" going well with Andre Braugher's "common bitch" on B99. The fact that the actor playing Sean is Andre's husband on B99 completes the circle nicely. I would say that I hope this show gets 1,000 seasons like The Simpsons, but it would make me as sad to see this show go that downhill as it does for the latter show.

I got the impression that neither of them were wearing any makeup, especially Amy.

They did... he broke his leg. Lol

Except she totally did, in Season 3, Episode 11 (The Maternal Congruence), when she got drunk with her. In that same episode during the ride back to the airport, she told Leonard to take care of Penny. She also referred to Penny as her "homegirl" twice, and asked Leonard why he hadn't told her that he was in a relationship with "this lovely, charming young woman". In that same episode in Season 3, she hugged Leonard, saying that she wanted them to have a closer relationship (she was drunk, but still). She's been a dick to him since then, but it takes time to grow. Anyway, she has made an overture or two in that direction before, especially since her divorce. Of course, that is a natural reaction of the limbic system to being betrayed by a loathsome son of a bitch.

How do you pronounce it? I've never heard it any other way.

My first memory of something like that was "Herman's Head" in the early 90's, but it probably goes back even further than that. I would absolutely watch Council of Sheldons over Young Sheldon. Jim Parsons is a treasure.

Yep, in The Relationship Diremption (Season 7, Episode 20): Leonard: I got to tell you, the more I read about the primordial gravity wave discovery, the more excited I get. Raj: I know. Being an astrophysicist right now is like being a rock star. Howard: Only without the sex. Raj: Yeah, literally, none of it. Leonard: What do you think about it, Sheldon? Sheldon: Meh. Raj: Are you kidding me? This may be the biggest scientific breakthrough of our lifetime. How can you, as a theoretical physicist, not care about this? Sheldon: Maybe it’s because I’m not an elitist. What I’d like to know is, how does this gravity wave breakthrough help the man on the street? You know? Who’s looking out for Joe six-pack and all his quantum physics concerns? Leonard: Oh, my God, you’re jealous. Sheldon: Why would I be jealous? Leonard: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because the origin of the universe just got proven, the Higgs field just got proven, and you’ve been working on string theory for the last 20 years and you’re no closer to proving it than when you started. Sheldon: Yeah, well, I’ve had a lot on my plate. We happen to live in a golden age of television. Barry: Excuse me, fellas. Sorry for eavesdropping, but there actually was some big string theory news today out of the Hadron Collider. Sheldon: Really? Did they find evidence to support extra dimensions or supersymmetry? Barry: No, but they did find evidence that you’ll believe anything. Sheldon: Why would you do that? You’re a string theorist as well. Barry: Incorrect. I am a string pragmatist. I say I’m gonna prove something that cannot be proved, I apply for grant money, and then I spend it on liquor and broads. Later. Sheldon: Do you think he’s right? Am I wasting my life on a theory that can never be proven? Howard: Maybe. But how great is Game of Thrones?

I want to eat at Pot Pie the Sailor Man right now.

Not to mention that he was a far better "son" to Mrs. Wollowitz than her actual son was. For all that Howard claims to have been attached to his mother, he was as awful as he could be when he spoke of her. He never skipped an opportunity to trash her, insult her, belittle her, mock her. She wasn't perfect, but she did her best to be a good mom to him. Stuart, on the other hand, enjoyed spending time with her, was always respectful toward her, and stood up for her when her real son put her down behind her back.

Can't they just have scenes together as friends, like they've been doing? I loved that episode where they were putting together their online dating profiles. Why does everyone have to be in a couple? I say they should make Raj a secondary character like Stuart, and just bring him in when needed (like Stuart), for an occasional interaction with the group, or in a quality scene with Stuart. I, also, am annoyed that nothing ever came of Raj & the veterinarian. They seemed to have real chemistry and a natural bond through Cinnamon. He also seemed to have a good vibe with the cleaning lady at the university, despite his initial embarrasment in telling his friends about her job. They seemed to genuinely like each other.

Methinks this is exactly why Jenna the show -off chose the boring one. I came here just to say how mad and disappointed I am that Kevin was booted in favor of someone who doesn't even care about being there. He put all of himself into that routine, and wanted it so much. He deserved to make it. Also, he could have chosen from almost any of the all- stars, they were all begging him to pick them. Allison made the case that she could bring out more of him and help him become a more rounded dancer, that's why he picked her. Then she threw him away at the first opportunity. So Jenna throws him a hail mary, and ditches two of her team in the process (which seems like a crappy thing to do to them anyway), and shows that she really CAN bring out more of him and help him become a more rounded dancer AND has smoking hot chemistry with him that would have made shippers swoon and compelled viral YouTube vids...And she throws him away in favor of someone boring who doesn't even care about being there. Nice job, show. I've never truly resented you until now. I can't help but wonder if he would have had a better shot if he had chosen a different all star in the first place.

(Bolding mine, for emphasis.) Really? Not even when he passive-aggressively humiliated Kim in front of her clients at the restaurant? Or when he kept her stuck in doc review, even after she worked her ass off to bring in a new multi-million dollar client? Or the way he treated her with complete contempt and condescension, such as walking down the hallway to meet those new clients while rudely ignoring her? I think he's been extremely petty and vindictive toward Kim, at the very least. And he was complicit in quite a bit of Chuck's petty vindictiveness toward Jimmy.

Hey, Tara, I couldn't find an exact match for Clare's rainbow collar top, but here's something you might find fabulous!

I'm not saying that a company can't choose to "manage" a difficult employee... and you provided a perfect example of a situation in which a business or industry would do exactly that. Moral judgments about that which the NFL turns a blind eye aside, they have legitimate business reasons to keep a highly talented player in the game. While there are plenty of people who would like to play football at the professional level, there are few who have the skills and talent to actually do so. Personally, I would put what's right (in my opinon) over what's best for the industry's bottom line, but that's not the point here. Law firms, like most businesses, have a huge pool of talent from which to choose. They don't need the hassle of someone like Jimmy. Having said that, Bannon's idea for setting Jimmy up as a one-client firm of his own is a great one. That would have been beneficial to both parties. But D&M certainly had no obligation to do so, and I still maintain that it's Jimmy's responsibility to behave appropriately at his workplace, or to resign like a mature adult and give up the bonus that he never earned and didn't deserve. It's not like Jimmy even considered or tried to explore any options with D&M, he just nuked the whole thing and spat in the faces of people who had taken a chance on him and given him the royal treatment.

It's not that a company CAN'T "manage" employees who lack self-control (and, in Jimmy's case, actively work to sabotage their employment), but why should any business have to do so? It is not incumbent upon an employer to coddle and appease badly behaved employees. When you are hired to do a job, you have an obligation to dress, speak, and behave appropriately for the job you are doing and the company for which you work. If you don't, that's on you and you don't deserve to work there. There are plenty of other people, who are just as qualified as Jimmy (if not more so), who would love to have been given the opportunity that D&M gave him, and would appreciate and respect their place of employment. Frankly, I'm not sure why Jimmy should be allowed to keep the sign-on bonus or the desk... why should he be rewarded for being fired?

I'm no lawyer, so I'm certainly not trying to get into a debate about the law. I read the statutes that were provided in the original post, and none of them explicitly state that a home without electric service is a fire hazard. You say that this is something that is "frequently" red-tagged... by what standard is that judged? If it is against code to not have electric service, then why isn't it *always* red-tagged? Is it completely subjective, at the whim of the inspector? Are there other statutes that spell out that this situation is a fire hazard or more dangerous than any number of things people do in their homes? From what we've seen, Chuck takes perfectly good care of his house, and (other than, arguably, the lantern on the newspapers) does not engage in any kind of dangerous or risky behavior. Why would his not having electricity be such a "danger" that he should be forced out of his home?
