Disciple - I don't find any of the Oliver stuff weird, he's supposed to contrast and supplement the kind of hero Clark is, so it's good to get the occasional darker episode like this.

Sidekicks Assemble - I thought the entire thing was awesome. It's just weird that Dick got his adult hero identity while Garth and Roy still don't.

Clash of the Metal Men - It revels in cheesy, which is good considering the era it emulates. Aside from the sexism, I kind of like that tone.

Million Dollar Maybe - I agree about the plot. It's kind of tough to ignore the glaring continuity error with Skinner, but I know that's my issue more than the show's considering I can't even watch the Fighting Hellfish episode without thinking about it.

Dial Meg for Murder - I loved Stewie's line, but I also loved Peter checking the TV Guide for the plot.

"Beginner Pottery" - Community is my favorite new show of the season, it's consistently funny. Abed/Troy are sort of tied with JD/Turk in my opinion.

"Sweetums" - It would kind of weird me out if Andy and April got together, just because of the age difference, I guess.

"Sabre" - I feel bad for David Wallace, but at least he's not as bad as Jan.

Clash Of The Metal Men: Yeah, I liked it too. Sidekicks assemble was pretty good too but I hated the Nightwing costume.

Dial Meg For Murder: That WAS hilarious.

Beginner Pottery: At least Community hasn't overstayed it's welcome like Scrubs has. We'll see if it's still better than J.D. and Turk in nine years.

Sweetums: Have they ever said Andy's age? I always thought he was supposed to be in his early to mid twenties (as was Ann). There's probably a bigger age difference between Mark and Ann than there is with Andy and April.

Sabre: Nobody could be as bad as Jan. Jan did the impossible. She almost made you sympathize with Micheal Scott.

I thought Andy was late 20's to early 30's, but a recent episode did confirm that April is only 20 and it freaks Andy out a bit.

[mattzimmer]

I doubt Andy's in his early thirties. He doesn't act like it at all. I find late twenties unlikely too but it's at least plausable.

[90scartoonman]

Maybe not early thirties, but he definitely comes across as older than me (and I'm pretty sure the actor is), and I'm 27, that's why I get that impression.

[mattzimmer]

TV ages can be weird. Micheal Scott is supposedly over fourty and he acts like a six year old. He lives to age 90 and he won't EVER get any wiser.

[90scartoonman]

Good point there.

Thanks.
