moments which are painfully bad

Your post.

Remember Sammy Jankis.

The bit with the dog at the vets. It's the only time I've been aware of feeling sorry for actors in a scene.

I hate the moments that Derek has no right to be part of. Like in the special when he joins in the first dance. I get that they're a very close-knit group, but there should be some boundaries. Or when the residents seem to exist as the audience for Derek's preciousness.

I absolutely loved that scene.
