I thought it was a better than average show. I actually laughed out loud several times. Sometimes I can sit through the whole show without laughing. Lady Gaga sure earned her money. I think she was in every sketch, aside from the open and Weekend Update. Speaking of which, WU seemed especially "dirty" this week. Liked how Mike Myers threw in the Lorne Michaels/Dr. Evil gesture.

Maybe she was doing that until Georgie joined the business, which allowed Jim to move to the office, and Audrey to stay home with her granddaughter. Maybe he was just looking for the perfect sample to "cycle". Also, I'm not sure what time this show is set in (the 90s?), but the technology likely wasn't what it is today. Didn't he play his song for Mandy on a cassette? I wasn't really impressed with the final product, to be honest. Maybe this is going somewhere for him, but I don't know where.

So Wicked brought in Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design? I don't watch the Oscars anymore, but doesn't this seem a little light? Isn't that a bit disappointing where expectations are concerned? Maybe they're doing like Lord of the Rings and waiting for the final installment to reward it.

No surprise that the books were better. But yeah, I was hoping they would play up the "snow monster" aspect more. I was kind of okay with it, until they had to spell it out "In the common tongue he is called Gandalf". As if we didn't know who the wizard was.

It's something of a catch 22. If you come to work sick and infect a bunch of people, you're going to hear it. Yet, as you say, there are certain situations where you just can't call in sick - like your first week on the job. It's a lose/lose proposition.

I thought Powerplex was one of the better villains they've had on this show, but I was more than a little surprised that he didn't experience any self loathing over killing his wife and kid. Because that was completely his fault. As has been said, he must be mentally or emotionally damaged. That or the biggest hypocrite in the world.

I think the Thunderbolt characters might be interesting enough, for a bunch of C listers. But the Sentry story is so odd, I'm not sure how that is going to go over with moviegoers. There's already enough weirdness going around with the Multiverse saga.

That's crossed my mind too. It's almost like she's supposed to be the young one, not Georgie. If I were to guess the character's age without being told, I'd say she was in her early or mid 20s.

Okay, thanks.

I'm finally starting to warm up to Connor a little. This episode suggests that he has some aptitude for a career in healthcare, at some level. I'd like to see him pursue that - maybe an EMT, tech, nurse, NP, or even doctor. The latter few would take more years than this show likely has left though. Nice to see George again, although yeah the scenes were strange. Didn't care for the zombie George scene, although that's just the sort of thing you might see in a dream. Mandy is always wearing those short shorts, isn't she? Not that I'm complaining. Did anyone else notice on the vanity card that one of the things Chuck Lorre has been busy with is "scripts for a Big Bang Theory spinoff"?

The only part of the tango I like is when they jump over CeeCee.

Any of which would be far more fitting than the tango.

If it wasn't the Ramseys, I think pedophilia is most likely involved. But as I said before, nothing is off the table. I recently saw a video that featured comments from the housekeeper, and she was talking about a party at the Ramseys on the 23rd. She said there were around 40 people there. Which goes back to there having been a lot of people that were in that house, who might have known the layout, taken or had a key, or whatever. The housekeeper's theory was that Patsy accidentally killed Jon Benet while punishing her for wetting the bed, by the way.

Someone mentioned in another episode thread that there are never any customers in the shop - or hardly ever any, anyway. Which makes me think, whenever I go to the local tire shop, there are always people waiting in there. Maybe it's because Jim appears to only have one worker there who does actual manual labor, and they schedule things sparingly. But it looks a little strange.

It was good that they gave her something more of a personality and a backstory, and let her do something outside of just hating Georgie. And I'm my own grandpa.
