As a longtime fan of the series, I kind of thought The Story So Far sucked big time. I'm glad it seems to be working on new viewers though! I actually had trouble following it, because the way they chose to recap the various plotlines didn't match the way they were told during the show.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Um, or maybe it's just me.
Nope. Way back when I was a bagel lackey, the owners thought I was the best and weirdest because after morning rush, I volunteered to wash the baking trays and other assorted equipment. Water therapy and visible results.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Terrible cook notes: boil burned-on grunge in pans with laundry detergent...
I'll need that notion someday.

I just rebel inside, when other fans tell me (when I'm still only a potential fan) that I have to watch all the shows, in order, from the beginning, before watching the new stuff.Oh, totally. That's exactly why I veer more toward "you can pick it up as you go" when I rec something.
And I remembered that The Sad Geezers Guide has summary-reviews that might suit your needs. Although it looks like they only go up to halfway through S2. Still, that'll get you most of the way. (Click on the ep title, or the pic, for the summary.)
Strega, did you watch Jericho, yet?Yup. I wasn't exactly giving it my full attention since Johanna & I were on the phone mocking it for most of the episode. So I think that Mom & the incompetent doctor were not so much thinking they could save the guy's life forever as they were objecting to the fact that the guys wanted to question him about whether he'd actually killed Shep or just stolen his truck, despite the fact that waking him would result in him being in agonizing pain. But I may have been foolishly assuming that the anyone's behavior actually makes sense, despite what I've seen so far.
Edited because, yikes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
From the files of You Can't Make This Stuff Up, Federal employees (including White House Staffer) purchased fake degrees from a diploma mill run by a guy with 10,000 kiddie porn pics on his computer.

March 2011: Buoyed by high approval ratings, Colbert resigns his post to become president of Canada, which he renames "America II: Land of Judgment." A week later, he proclaims himself king and outlaws French. Before Quebec can secede, he banishes the province by simply blacking it out on a map and never mentioning it again.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
shrift, I didn't even get to congratulate you on the new job yet, so, um, happy-fourth-day-and-already-bored, or something.
Thanks, Nilly! I'm not... well, okay, I am bored, but in the job's defense, it's been very slow this week, and I'm having trouble transitioning back into "must go to bed at decent hour in order to wake up and go to work" mode. Which = sleepyboredshrift reading employee handbook to pass the time.
I'm getting paid the same amount I was making at my last job, only with significantly less work to do, and also I am encouraged to leave on time. And I'm okay with a certain amount of boredom as a trade-off.
