Not really hypocrisy. She changed her mind as the circumstances changed, or had stronger feelings for new Phil. People can do that.

If you remember from all of 1 episode ago, once he was honest with Carol and the other women he did have his choice of two women who'd like to sleep with him because Carol accepted that she was foolish to insist on marriage. It was, again, Phil's own lack of honesty holding him back - a major theme on this show that…

That you're comparing the need for food - which people would actually die without - to the sex drive shows a really, really fucked up lack of perspective. I'm not terribly surprised that an MRA would come to the conclusion that all the women on this show are terrible for not giving Phil all the sex he tried to trick…

That is very incorrect.

They'd been dating for maybe two weeks and despite her constant reassurances he freaked out, tried to control who she could associate with, and preemptively broke up with her. That's not being self-centered, it's not having infinite patience.

Love to come to my favorite pop culture website and read people calling women who want sex whores. That's the good stuff.

Yeah, even beyond the content, a 53-tweet pseudo-joke is so goddamned insufferable that I can't see defending it unless someone's really really in favor of the point he's clumsily trying to make.

He's gotten increasingly self-important in recent years to the extent that he now resembles an Aaron Sorkin monologue from Studio 60 about the importance of comedy come to life, so it beats me beyond coasting on years of residual goodwill. Anyone the internet didn't already love would've been universally roasted for…

She isn't the perfect woman for him because she does not like him, at all, and isn't interested in having sex with him outside of procreation for the sake of humanity's survival. When she said she was horny it wasn't a come-on, so he couldn't have had sex with her unless the show wanted him to get a *lot* more evil…

The scene of Phil almost leaving Todd in the desert was probably my favorite since the pilot. It broke up the otherwise somewhat-monotone tone and plot of the show and took Phil seriously as a character. If there was more of that, even with Phil being unpleasant to watch, I'd be a lot higher on the show than I have…

I feel like you calling everyone who didn't agree a pussy might have had just a bit to do with that response.

It's not about his lack of loyalty to Carol, for me. It's that he's such a dick to both Carol and Melissa, and has continued desperately pursuing the latter despite her obvious disinterest. Add in how badly he reacted to another man being alive and he's been awful to the only other three people on earth. He's just…

Phil's the main character and so the de facto POV character. If he's practically dry-heaving at the thought of having sex with her, that's the same as the show treating her as though she's supposed to be ugly.

She's not actually, but the show definitely treats her as ugly. Phil is aghast at her appearance when he sees her and generally physically repulsed by her.

This episode continued a trend for me of the show being more appealing in theory than in practice. I love the premise, and it's stylistically interesting and daringly odd for network TV. All good things.

It seems a bit odd to me that you're of the opinion the prop department should be fired for being a bit out-of-period with a minor detail of the set design that's unlikely to be noticed as inaccurate, but feel the show's erred in featuring reasonably realistic levels of sexism for the period toward its female lead.

I enjoy pointing out to fantasy football enthusiasts that fantasy sports leagues are basically Dungeons & Dragons for people who won't admit they're nerds. They get mad about it every single time.

As a woman who went to a women's college that turned coed after I left, I do think it would be an interesting dynamic. From what I heard from the students still there, the administration bent over backward to not punish the male students for harassing women and other crappy behavior and favored them pretty…

That people might be leaving because of increased resources for TV Club doesn't make it a Sinister Todd Conspiracy, though, right? There's a much simpler answer - more people are reading the show reviews and more people come to the site from them, I would bet, and so the AV Club as a business starts to deemphasize the…

They can score runs now, it's amazing! I still don't really trust it, but it's nice not to have to hope they can avoid getting no-hit while watching the 4th or 5th inning for a change.
