lol.

The situation with Grace and the partners is of course inappropriate—it's kind of an annoying distraction and I hope they drop it by next episode. Grace needs to do something smarter than a birddog soon or I will start fast forwarding through her scenes.

Peter's not smart. I think this has been demonstrated.

Yeah, this really doesn't make sense. They'll drop it by next episode.

She'll be back with a bump.

Will will push Crazy Lady away if she keeps talking about a baby—and she will. We'll see her again in a couple of months—with a bump, of course.

Does Will ever roll up his sleeves at the office? If someone else—besides crazy lady—comments on the tattoo, then we'll know the tat AND CRAZY LADY are real. I'm betting they are.

Will has an itty bitty blind spot. A feature of the new, take-no-prisoners POWERWILL.

"Will is massively overreaching, right?"
Gee, you think?

Sometimes women are called "Mrs." to acknowledge that they are married, even if they keep their nee last names.

Yeah, Diane had a rough couple of days. After Peter's call, she cried alone, then marched in to break the news to Will. Didn't call her husband for sympathy.Tough, resourceful lady.

Alicia doesn't know about it yet. At some point she'll find out and it will dawn on her—as it hit Will immediately—that Peter's act will go against her.

Does Grace seem a little dim—I mean, worse than young and naive, just clueless? Did they keep her in a basket until she turned 12?

He doesn't have to say anything to get her pregnant.

Yeah, all that was missing from Will's speech at the end was "Mmmmwwaaaa-haaaa-haaaa!!"

I thought that, too, for the first half of the episode, but then I realized that it would be too easy, too trite, and TGW would rather throw us a curve. They want us to wonder if the baby is Peter's, but there's another, yet-to-be-revealed man in Marilyn's life. Eli, for instance—that would be a curve.

I don't think crazy-tattoo-girl is a figment of Will's imagination, but she IS a manifestation of the new, adrenaline/hormone-pumped POWERWILL and, as such, she plays the "evil dwarf", with whom—and through whom—the out-of-control side of Will creates chaos.

Thanks! I'll be waiting.

Well, let's hope he has the vision and time to finish that new novel. Does it have a title?

You'll notice that a lot of the preceding comments here are by people who have read—and loved—McCarthy's books. I am one of those, too, and I'm here to tell you that this movie shoots itself in the foot.
