Yes, I was surprised they were moving it to Wed. Hope that means they want to keep the show going. This season has been a huge improvement, and I think this is the best cast they've ever had.
As for the episode, it was pretty good. Didn't expect to see Dean go so soon.

Another good episode. Loved Marshall's new interrogation technique, especially when he turned on the music. Like someone else said, love the cast. Best group since Will and Good Francie were still on the show. Glad for the Wednesday move. Not that there's anything else to watch on Thursday's at 8, but maybe this is a signal that ABC likes the direction the show's going in and the chances of a 6th season are upped.

Stupid, Stupid move. Guess this really will be the last season.
Looks like i'm SOL since there's no way i'm going to phone in an hour of my radio show and i'll be Replay'n Law & Order. Stupid ABC.
Other than that, this was a pretty good episode. Liked the very end with Jack & Syd. How long has it been since we've seen a moment like that?

This show is worth watching just for the scenes when Jack and Marshall are together
Seeing Keone Young made me remember how much I miss Deadwood, I kept waiting for him to call Syd a San Francisco cocksucker.

Another great episode! Loved seeing Jack break from his usual stoicism with Syd at the end. We definitely need more of those sweet, but not schmaltzy, moments on this show.

I swear I see strings when Sloane is in a scene.
At least the Dean chapter has been closed, but Kelly ascends, so hopefully this means more work for Amy Acker on the show.
Poor Mia Maestro, she's wasted in her role on this show.
Marshall is trying so hard to impress the new chick, I wonder if he forgets that he's married, with child. Marshall and Jack's scenes were pretty funny. "So you've done this before."

I missed the end of this. What happened after Sloane saw Nadia convulsing?

The move to Wednesday is only scheduled for 2 weeks since it's going on a break after that for Garner's maternity leave. Invasion is back in that slot the Wednesday before Christmas.

Ah makes sense. Hopefully though the ratings will increase for those two weeks.

Weds work better for me (now I can watch OC and Smallville), but it doesn't seem good for the show. Moving for two weeks, then hiatus, then back to Thursdays?

Maybe its just me, but it seems like for this season they are doing season 1 again just this time with role reversal. Since i've been watching since the infamous "superbowl" episode, I'll keep on watching.

Puppet or not, knowing Sloane, there will a big reckoning before the season is over!

I think this ep was only the second time this season that we have seen Syd at home. They do need more of that - the end w/ Jack and Syd was great.
This is the best the show has been since S2, imo.
