I know they didn't want to change their successful formula too much, and that the change was necessitated by Norton's departure, but it feels like TPTB feel like they can't deviate much from what they had, and this would have been a nice chance for the show to grow and evolve more.
I think they're using Will as a Sidney "refresh." They really wrote themselves into a corner with Sidney in that he never seemed to figure his way out of misery--or at least not for long--before he'd find himself into misery again.
And maybe that's the path they'll take with Will too but they've already taken major steps with him this season. Plus, as a bonus, Ellie isn't married. Or even some long star-crossed love. If they want to be together, they can get together. If they decide not to be together, she's someone he knew for a few months rather than someone he pined over for years.

Leonard finally got some good focus!!! I'm sorry, but i'm on team leornard when it comes to how he handled his dad. I didn't care for daniel wagging his finger at leonard about the whole thing.
Yeah. I felt Daniel was in the wrong there. If he wants to have compassion for Leonard's father, I think that's okay but I think it's asking too much to expect Leonard to have that same compassion. Being gay was really difficult back then, without a doubt. But his father compounded the unfairness not only in how he treated his wife but in how he treated his son.
If he really felt like that was the best choice he could have made, then I would expect an apology but there was none of that.

I liked that Geordie is finally over his midlife crisis and is a good husband.
Goodness me too. I actually think Cathy having a job has been good for their marriage. She looks happier and sexier. Even though Geordie probably thought a housewife was he'd prefer, I think he's also responding to her self-sufficiency.
