The guys should not have been playing roundball in their common room anyway. It was just a matter of time.

I think this show is being written with movement toward absurd scenes in mind, and sitting back and saying, “Wait, does this make sense?” is disparaged over, “Oh, yeah, that looks awkward!”

Which is fine, but [breaks into song] It’s not everyone’s / cup of tea / might not be to your taste / but it tastes OK to me / Needs more milk [/song] Wait, where was I going with this?

I prefer sitcoms to dramas and so I hope every year that we’ll get a good crop.

This year has been a disappointment so far, but I’ll give them all a shot for a few more weeks.

But this will have to get better if I’m going to keep watching it.
