8.02 The Junior Professor Solution (September 22)

[Louise]

Helberg is brilliant in this

Hmm. It's a good scene, and I could easily see it taking place in the early seasons. I still think there's something slightly "off" about S and H, but that should come as no surprise.

I don't know, maybe it needed to be a bit *faster*, to give more of that "snappy dialogue" feeling.

I think what I miss is the sense of the characters being very young, and excited/mystified by everything they encounter. Yes, they were always kind of cynical/sarcastic, but they seem a bit world-weary, now, even in acceptably-good scenes like this one, and that doesn't jibe with the notion that their lives are better and happier, now...
