I feel like that character has a very specific emotional reaction to almost everything that has gotten much stronger as the series has gone on. It could feel forced, but it doesn't. What does feel forced? The Judah Friedlander gay for Jamie thing, totally. Good call. You have seen that before, if you went to a college where frat guys made jokes. Every time he ran into the picture yesterday I just wanted to get out my remote control fly swatter and get him off the screen so it could go back to being a good episode. And the Iraq thing, yeah, while funny, sometimes felt a little paint-by-numbers.
