Iiiiiiiii have not. I will look into it.

To add a little bit to my last comment: I don't really see Rosa as emotionally closed off. She may think she is, and she certainly is guarded, but I feel like she reveals a lot about how she feels in the way she says what little she does say. (All credit to Stephanie Beatriz for that.) I can see why that wouldn't work

Even that was a sort of "They're both half-right, half-wrong" thing, and honestly, I can't think of any other recent examples. The last time I can remember Ron being displayed as unambiguously in the wrong was when he gives that little girl the claymore mine, which was in "Road Trip", in season 3.

Why reply at all if you don't want to actually have the discussion you entered?

The last new game I really played was Skyrim, and the only reason I had time for that was because I was unemployed for six months. If it feels like a game is a full time job, I'll pass.

Okay, how about "Your description is gross and sexist and I also disagree with it and doubt your conclusion is true as well"?

When was the last one?

That is a crazy uncharitable description of Joan Rivers and any sort of review of what her peers and other comedians had to say about her when she died would suggest it's not true, either.

Great, after I spent a non-negligible chunk of time this weekend setting up DOSBox Turbo so I could play keyboard-only games on my tablet. (I wish I was kidding.)

IS he a billionaire? Or just a guy that for some reason is allowed to pretend to be one on TV?

For me, the problem is part that I didn't see Rosa as unwilling to meet Marcus [I think that's the name] halfway. It's that it seemed to turn into "Rosa's idea of meeting halfway is not acceptable, here's Boyle to schmoopy everything up." Maybe it's just the combination of asking Boyle specifically, and the fact that

Ron definitively jumped the shark for me in that episode where he made out his will. "I'm such a libertarian superman that even five percent of my net worth is some ungodly amount that will make Ben and my estate lawyer's eyes bug out." Give me a break, you're a more self-aware Dwight Schrute, you're not a goddamn

Without Dabney Coleman? That's no way to make a living.

Man, you said it.

Yeah, I just feel like anyone who wants to date Rosa kind of has to understand that's who she is going in, you know? Maybe if Nick Cannon was more of a character it would help.

Is "5 To Watch" like "TV Club 10" for shows that don't really have ten episodes worth watching?

I didn't really care for the Boyle-Rosa plot. I mean, I'm glad it didn't veer into Weird Boyle territory, but it seemed so trite, not to mention that Rosa seems too sharp to go to Boyle for any kind of romantic advice (given the general disaster that is his romantic life).

Coming this fall from NBC: Xe, the wacky workplace sitcom about a "private security contractor" whose misadventures and oopsie-doodles force them to constantly re-brand!

It doesn't matter what kind of guy he is, a gay black cop might not even fit in and be accepted now (I'm thinking of The Shield, when that was a big part of the story in the first few seasons, which was about ten years ago). He sure as hell wouldn't in the 1970s.

Ron, the perfect billionaire who is never wrong? How could you tire of that?
