Did anyone else wonder why there were so many bananas in this episode? Is there some significance that I'm missing? Teenage Kate took a banana for lunch, then Baby Jack wouldn't eat the bananas, and finally, the sheets at Randall's house had bananas on them. (And, yes, it was weird that the bed wasn't already made.)

As someone who was on blood thinners for a year, there's no way Buck would have or should have been allowed back to full duty. And I doubt it would be Bobby's call. There are LAFD doctors who would have to sign off, and there's no way they would sign off on someone who is on blood thinners, especially since it's most probably temporary (usually six months to a year in response to a clot that resulted from another incident). In addition to the dangers of bleeding to death from a simple cut, people on blood thinners are at a much higher risk of developing a subdural hematoma from a simple bang on the head. You can also get hematomas simply from sitting with your ankles crossed, and these might need to be drained by a doctor. A simple sinus infection and the corresponding dose of antibiotics can cause your clotting factor to go completely out of whack. Plus, there's a special diet that you must strictly adhere to. To have someone on blood thinners in such a physically demanding job is absolutely ridiculous. Stay on the blood thinners, do your desk job for X months, and return to full duty when you're off the meds, you big, giant baby.

I'm Team Randall on this (aside from the voicemail). Beth agreed to attend and then wanted to cancel for drinks at the last minute? Incredibly rude, not only to her husband, but to her hostess. Randall was wrong to say the things he did, but he's not wrong. She wants to put her marriage and her children aside because she wants to be a ballerina? Really? Is she six? And did he not put thought into the fact that he would be spending six hours a day on the road commuting? Why doesn't he just stay in the apartment building he owns, which conveniently seems to run itself now. And how long are her classes? He seems to come home, feed the girls, do homework, laundry, are her classes eight hours long? Sorry, my husband and I have had some really good fights over the years, but I have never, ever told him to sleep on the couch or sleep in his office. That's disgusting. There are times when I know I need to be the good corporate wife, and there are times that he's been a good corporate husband. You take turns. I'm beginning to dislike the Pearsons (and their SOs) less and less each episode. They're all a bunch of whiny babies. Except Miguel.

Evie over The Masqueraders or the dogs? I actually believe the dogs could sing better than Evie. I am so annoyed with these results.

I was just rewatching Season 6. I think I mentioned this here once, but couldn't find the post. When the townspeople are watching April and Luke through Taylor's Sweet Shoppe window, they're all talking about Anna as if they know her very well. They all said that she grew up in Stars Hollow and was a local. Even Liz remembered her when Luke told her about April. Then, when she told Luke she was taking April away, she said that she and her entire family were from New Mexico. Am I the only one? This really bugs me.

I love Psych. Did you know that there is a pineapple in every episode? Psych the Musical guest-starred Anthony Rapp of Rent fame and was an opportunity for Dule to show off his mad dancing skills. Suits is about a law firm that has always exclusively hired Harvard Law graduates. I read that Dule's character will have graduated from Georgetown Law, as a salute to Charlie. The first couple of seasons, it was a good show. The last couple? The shark, she has jumped.

I heard that Dule is also joining the cast of Suits this season, which airs on USA. I am not sure at which point his character airs, and I don't know anything about the character. I have the first episode DVR'd. but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

I don't remember the episode, but I believe Suzanne had some snooty friends at Sugarbakers and Anthony came into the room. She introduced him and one of the women sarcastically asked him if he was from the same family as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and he says that he is, and he and Jackie don't see one another as often as he would like (or something to that effect), but he ends it with saying that he'll tell Jackie that Snooty woman was asking for her as she loves being remembered by "the little people". Also, when Suzanne astonishes everyone by being calm and taking charge when Reese has a heart attack. And I think my favorite Charlene episode is when she leaves her church because they won't allow female pastors and she wants Julia to hit that high note in How Great That Art because she needs to be proud of a woman. It was such a touching scene.

Suzanne made me laugh the hardest, for sure. She seemed so shallow and self-absorbed, but her heart was truly as big as her hair. I loved her, her relationship with Consuela, with her pig, with the other women of Sugarbakers, but, as has been said her, the best was her relationship with Anthony.

I don't know the names of all the episodes, but these scenes were always a stand-out for me: When Annabeth tells Josh that Leo has died. Sam arguing with the intern Winifred over cutting the government programs. After the panic button scene, when Josh and Sam are arguing over which guy was "theirs" and Charlie shuts them down. When Charlie makes CJ his bitch during their prank war. Ron Butterfield and Toby discussing the memo and the canopy. Ainsley blaming it on the Bossa Nova.

I love Toby. I always assumed the twins were made the old-fashioned way. I never picked up any IVF clues. If Toby expected to be nothing more than a sperm donor, why was he willing to turn his life upside-down and buy her a house so they could marry and raise the babies together? I think Donna is the one character who showed true growth. She started out as that dippy volunteer who was getting over a broken heart to Chief of Staff to the First Lady! She took her job and her time in the White House seriously and actually learned and flourished. Hated Amy. Loved Ainsley. Loved CJ, but did hate her as CoS, although as someone pointed out, if they gave the job to Josh, then he couldn't go to work for Santos. I didn't care for the whole Shareef/Stalker/Simon arc either, but then we wouldn't have seen CJ in the black Vera Wang, or seen her fall over when she shot Simon's gun, or when she touched her face because he made her feel feminine, or Allison Janney's superb emoting during "Hallelujah". I liked Beginning Will Bailey, then hated Bingo Bob Will Bailey. Would the man who prayed for rain in CA be the same man who ran the campaign of a bumbling fool? The man who had the courage to ask the President why a Kundunese life was worth less to him? I think not. I hated the way they turned Chili-cooking Zoey into Spoiled Princess Zoey. And her on again-off again with Charlie? That poor man. Charlie/Jed scenes were among my favorite. Leo was and always will be The Man. More than anything, I hated the way Jed treated him up at Camp David, basically bullied him into that first heart attack. My favorite peripheral character was and always will be Ron Butterfield.

I've always been bugged by something about Anna. Wasn't she supposed to be from Stars Hollow? When the truth about April first comes out, don't the other townies talk about her and how pretty she was? Like she grew up there? Then all of a sudden, she has to move to New Mexico, and she talks about growing up THERE? Am I mixed up, or was that a continuity issue?

I always liked April's character. She's smart and spunky. She also had nothing to do with the schism between Luke and Lorelai. She made it obvious that she liked and approved of Lorelai and Rory, especially after the birthday party. It was all in Luke's head to keep April and Lorelai apart, fueled by his fear that Anna would keep him from his daughter because of his relationship with Lorelai and Anna not wanting her in April's life. Anna acted like Luke was this deadbeat dad, when she was the one who kept him from his daughter all those years. I was very happy to see Luke stand up to her and fight her for his parental rights.

Both Paris and the Chilton headmaster were in the same episode of West Wing, "Take Out the Trash Day".

I almost forgot about the coat in the rainstorm, just another way that Charlie proved his devotion.
