I'm halfway through watching the episode, and I've had to pause it because it's getting too real and too uncomfortable watching Dash try to save people, and potentially putting himself and his siblings at risk. I wish the show would have started out like this. I do. And not just because maybe it would have meant more opportunities to get Stark to sing. Sidenote: Wilmer is horribly, horribly miscast. Horribly. Just awful. Perhaps if he and Vega would have been cast with stronger actors, this could have had a little more of a fighting chance. Just, awful.

I just caught the June 13th episodes, and now this one. All in a row. I can't figure out why, but I'm still watching. Holy mother of all that's holy, you have to WORK at making Zach Levi unwatchable, but this show has done it. And Joanne is just unwatchable for entirely other reasons. She might as well be twirling a mustache; how did she get cast? If this were on any other network, it would have been canceled months ago. Wow.

I can't take Wilmer Valderrama seriously. I just can't. Also, pausing after every third word does not denote I Am a Serious Officer. It just makes me think he's trying to be a Serious Actor.

I can't tell if Kiersey Clemons has NAILED the role of a humanich or if she's just not a good actress. The scene where she tells the Secretary of Defense that she had to kill the science guy was just ... meh.

I think it's likely the reverse, because the Nashville writers are about as subtle as a stroke. Which is exactly the type of thing I would guess happened to Deacon, who'll have to recover from that next season AND it gives us the ability to let the obnoxious Bev -- who might as well grow a mustache that she can twirl -- move to town. I can't even with Juliette's bug eyes all over the place. I just can't even.

Oh thank god, I thought it was just me. I've never seen Dichen in anything else, and her performance as Jianying does not make me inclined to go hunt down anything else. Except, maybe whomever cast her in this role. Because, hello Whedons: I know she was on Dollhouse, but there are Asians who can act in Hollywood.

I thought so, too, but then they showed Bitsie's face, and her eyes, and I couldn't tell what she was trying to convey. Was she regretting what she had done? Was she drunk with power at the idea of being in control of the Royal baby? (I like this show, but still don't get WTF the big deal is with the Royals, BTW.) Was she passing gas? I really just can't tell with Bitsie.

Thank God for this board, since I can't really tweet this: Bitsie doesn't have the chops to put any shades of gray into going evil. One episode of an unwittingly evil Renard was 10x more compelling than 10 episodes or WHATEVER it's been of batshit crazy Juliette, who's all jaw and hair flips to show how bitchy she is now.

Well and nobody gets to be HAPPY for more than one episode, at the most. I actually stopped watching earlier this season because the drama's just unstoppable. "We found you a liver!" "Oops. Put a pin in that. Your fever is a little high. ... We may not be able to operate."" "WE CAN OPERATE! YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE!"" "Oops. Wait, cancer in the donor body... Our bad." Teddy gets a way to weasel out of being a complete scumbag, but in order to do it he has to not only wear a wire but ALSO take down his ex-wife's sister, the aunt to both of his daughters. I loved Eric Close on "Now & Again" and really liked him on "Without a Trace," but this show makes me want to stab Teddy in the face. Come on, let someone not be a complete scuzzball or a screeching harpie for more than one episode, PLEASE, writers.

Since the episode title asked, yes. The better part of this show is obviously over. Here's hoping the only tolerable people on this show, Avery and Deacon, take the baby; Juliette's Manager Whose Name Doesn't Really Matter; Rayna's Manager, who I know isn't the same person as Juliette's Manager since they shared a scene tonight; Juliette's Assistant and Daphne, and live together happily ever after, away from all the whiny jackasses on this show. UGH. Oh, and Avery needs to go right for the gold and let Juliette know she's just as awesome at parenting as her mom was.

My guess is that's the goal, as well. This show seems to be less about competition and more about popular, successful celebrities screwing around on-camera for adoration and bits they hope will go viral. At least, that's my guess judging by how they release so many clips ahead of the show that nobody has to actually watch it. Edited to clarify: And I've got no problem with a show about likable celebs farting around when it gives me The Rock singing "Tay Tay." I don't even have a problem with Christie. It's just stupid fun.

54 going on 16 isn't a good look on Mary Kay Letorneau. Their daughters are beautiful, but they look more like his sisters than his kids. I'm watching videos on the ABC News site, and an anchor is talking to Barbara Walters. "He was the same age as my son when their affair began." Child rape =/= affair. Sorry, but, no.

What was up with the super random choice of shots and framing? It was 60 minutes of heads. I noticed Patricia's teeth for the first time ever just because the camera was always on its way practically up her nose. As for the rest, I can't even. This is clearly just a paycheck for most of these people.

I thought Skylar Astin made for an unbelievable high schooler. Until I saw Spencer's hippie crush in this episode. Do they even bother running each new hire past casting directors anymore? Or do they just troll whomever's staffing the Auntie Anne's in Pasadena that day? I'd feel bad about this, but: Myron was a wretched little actor, singer and dancer. Normally I'd avoid saying that about kids, but I'm pretty sure he was a Performing Robot created in a plant in China. Also, let's be real, kids: None of you can dance worth a damn. Go to competition for the experience, sure, but these kids would be lucky to win bus fare, much less place in anything.

I'm assuming that's to make it less confusing and more easily digestible for the "basic" viewer. Throwing two names around, one of them "unusual" would likely lead to confusion. It could be seen as representative of an attempt to assimilate rather thoroughly, I guess..

I'm hoping it quickly follows the trajectory of "Selfie," which just got better by leaps and bounds each episodes. I think it's off to a much stronger start already. I think what I also like is that the parents seem to like each other. They're different, with different views of people and the world at times, but they don't seem to despise each other, like so many other sitcom spouses. When they teamed up against the principal was particularly striking, IMO. You don't see too many couples on TV lately who work together like that.

I could maybe see that as a point three years ago. But not with the show the "Modern Family" team has been turning out this season. I'm half-Taiwanese, with an FOB mother. I was telling two first-generation Korean Americans about the show today. When I told them about "I need white-people food!" they both burst out laughing. It was fairly obvious that was a conversation that they'd had with their kids, likely regularly. It's really weird for me to have a show on that I can relate to with the Asian side of me. The fact that it's relatable AND funny gives me hope that it will survive. Jessica is more assertive than my mother, in a way, but that same strength of character that's just different from Clare Huxtable and Roseanne and Maggie Seaver is so recognizable that I really, really hope this show makes it.

I was going to say "great," but, honestly, I've always thought even those skills were overblown. I really just said "fine" to be politically correct. The best dancer they have on the show has always been the guy they put in the wheelchair -- speaking of which, I fail to understand why they would have Kevin stand in the dream sequence, only to give him such a boring dance sequence. The only answer I can come to is, well: It's Glee.

Wow. That was all kinds of horrid. The stilted speechifying in the auditorium was kind of the last, perfect horrible piece of a horrible diorama of meh. Kurt fans should actually be kind of thankful for him that he was in it as little as he was. Heather Morris never should have been given lines, much less this much focus. As an actor, she's a fine dancer. Random Blaine was actually kind of hilarious to me.

I registered just to commiserate with fellow Selfie fans. I feel like this show just went a little too much into caricatures at times. Julia is beginning to border on unwatchable for me, with the overly enunciated, pedantic speech, the throaty diction and stick firmly up her butt. Even when she's trying, she's trying. And I really liked her on "Go On." But I've also long been of the opinion that they should have at least let Karen use her natural accent. Beyond anything to do with Julia, the rest of the show was gold. John Cho, Popper-in out? No words to explain how much I'll miss things like that.
