- Harlan Pepper is proposed as weak link: his joke becomes apparent quickly and the ventriloquism is less appealing, though the nut monologue works; more Higgins and McKean is preferred.
- Harlan is defended for matching Hubert’s mellow energy, his puppy-photo album and genuine love for a dog he calls noble; a future victory is predicted.
- The Harlan criticism is clarified as excessive screen time rather than dislike; his solo scenes lack another character to play against, though a single owner’s pet relationship is valued.
