Actually, I think it's a pretty good mirror of original!Pam—they went back to the source. Not that she hates Philly, but she's a total coward about changing the status quo. Back then she hung on to a loveless engagement/best friend situation while Jim went along with. When Jim got desperate and said he was in love…

I find myself now wanting Cas to give Benny a little help while Dean can't. Those two could have a little uncomfortable adventure together where Benny gives Cas some good perspective too. Then Dean would be surprised that they got along now.

Yeah, for me it's that Ted's such a romantic that he's always focused on the relationship he "should" have that's "the one" he isn't realistically looking at the relationship he actually has. He needs to figure out that Robin symbolizes the girl who fits the suit (Brady Bunch reference) instead of the person he…

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus  I think he's made it plenty about his approval with several seasons' worth of lectures about what's wrong with what she stands for. It's not just a case of her having to leave the Abbey behind if she was going to live with him in Ireland. He's happily disapproved or…

@Scrawler2:disqus I wouldn't say Austen ever suggests marriage does anything like that. She more writes about characters who grow up and as a sort of reward get good marriages that they wouldn't have been smart enough to get beforehand. A hopelessly flawed woman marrying a hopelessly flawed man meant a bad marriage.

I don't think Americans need to have studied up on Remains of the Day or PBS miniseries to get DA. Or humility or pride of your station in life.

Managed to avoid all big spoilers until now. I can't believe I just read that.

They were offering to lend him one.

But Edith wasn't saying that was the worst thing about the war. She was pointing out pretty logically that it was ridiculous for her family to say she shouldn't marry this guy because he wasn't in the right age demographic, like she should wait around for the next proposal. A next proposal had little chance of coming.

Yeah, when he was announcing how he wouldn't change to suit everyone I couldn't help but think that his entire relationship with his wife is based on her changing to meet his approval. When she's not reassuring him through yet another tantrum.

I thought they thought they were pretty adorable too. They weren't being hateful to him. They genuinely enjoyed the Dwight-ness of them while they also thought they were funny.

Or just saying that he should have killed her because turning her in meant she was going to bring him down with her.

@antilla Hopefully she will say something to Andy when she's in contact with him again. The thing about Erin's situation is Andy's so uninterested so she's right to feel silly keeping up the facade of being in a relationship.

I liked that it seemed like there was passive-aggression in both Sam and Dean's actions, though Dean was being more in your face about it. Dean resents Amelia, or at least how Sam didn't try to save him because he was hanging out with her, so he uses her to distract Sam. (I agree w/the poster who said Dean wasn't…

Yes! I so miss the Dexter who wasn't supposed to be a regular, totally nice guy with an addiction. I loved it when he was just imitating correct behavior. Not only was the whole set up more compelling to me with Dexter's true self hidden from people he worked with because normal people couldn't relate to him and vice…
