@avclub-945ba977c27d196cdeaf6cbe4ff682f4:disqus Yes, I feel like Bennett a lot of the time just hasn't yet woken up to where he is, so he keeps holding Daya up to standards of behavior that would make more sense if they were co-workers in an office. He's right that the plan to get Pornstache is unfair to Pornstache,…

@avclub-9349e20458f64c9bfb83b5221e145937:disqus Yes, I think she did become religious, but it's a very specific, personal type of religion that's based on her experience with the lawyer rather than any of the more widely known versions of Christianity. She understands the bigotry, the superiority and uses that to feel…

I feel like she's too idiosyncratic to be reductive. Sure she might read as just "crazy person stereotype" at first but I feel like every detail we get about her is very specific and has a story behind it.

Wait, why would Harris not be able to beyond making out in the late 70s/early 80s?

Ryan saying he has to sand and repaint the door doesn't mean he actually does have to do that. Wilfred can't carve words into a door any more than he can smoke cigarettes.  Kirsten maybe didn't look at the door because there was nothing there to see. Real!Wilfred really was just scratching at the door like a dog.

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus Yes, Larry and Piper were in separate bubbles in this ep. Larry blithely talks about people locked up with his fiance that he thinks might kill her, obviously thinking that these people would never be listening to NPR.

Yes, he seems so deep in denial he's almost a parody of male irresponsibility. All his questions and reactions to things that happen have their priorities out of whack. Like he's demanding to know "When were you going to tell me?" as if he's discovered a pregnancy test in the bathroom they share outside of prison. The…

Yeah, I especially felt like Suzanne was being unfair in la labeling Piper "mean" for her pov on their early interaction. The fact that Suzanne turned out to not be a violent stalker who had targeted Piper for assault doesn't change the fact that she acted like she was when they first met. Piper's not the only one who…

That's true, they don't carry it into the next ep. But I do still think that her parents don't give themselves the power to make her stop hanging out with kids she's friends with. Technically sure they could make themselves her jailer, but we've seen that this is a family where they respect their children as people,…

I think they do actually address the grounding. Lindsay starts being a straight arrow after the accident so she's presumably following the rules of her grounding. When she goes to the slumber party Millie makes a specific reference to how her parents will let her go because it's "only across the street" and so it…

@flagonthemoon:disqus But how is Pam a guy with soft skin and lady parts? She and Jim don't bond because they like all the same things. She's not impressed with everything he does, he encourages her to try things that could potentially be intimidating to him since he's not good at them and ultimately he's desperate to…

Absolutely! That's just what I'm saying. A decent person would be horrified at what happened to Dot and feel responsible for it, whether or not they had known she was going to be killed. If Bob had been truly innocent and recommended Manolo in good faith I'd expect him to feel terrible about what happened. Yet he's…

I think honestly what Pete could get out of California is the chance to build something. He's always been hobbled by being useless at basic "manly" skills and being judged as having been handed everything, so even when he works hard he's still seen as a wuss. He can't drive a car, can't drive stick, can't fix a sink,…

@avclub-6997a8bd0e1042b70b60c5c879a1780e:disqus Actually, Pete never went back on his promise to keep it quiet. If he was going to blab, getting him kicked off Chevy wouldn't have prevented it. Pete blew off steam about Bob getting his mother killed. Then at Chevy Pete didn't want him to come to dinner. That's what…

But isn't that just as bad? I mean, yeah, Bob wasn't destroying Pete at Chevy just to hurt him. But if you've just directly caused the murder of somebody's mother—even if that wasn't your plan—destroying them at work because the murder made them angry enough to not want to work with you is pretty cold.

I'm not sure MW even gets that his reaction to Dot's murder is psychopathic. There was an interview where he acknowledged that Bob was like Tom Ripley, but that Dickie (his victim) was a really loved character. Also Bob's an underdog so we want to see him triumph with Chevy when Pete tries to cut him out of dinner.…

What's annoying is MW made a whole point of saying the whole point of his arc and Bob was to show us that Pete has grown and has learned this thing…so why follow it up like this the next week?

Why?

If I'd introduced the victim to the murderer under false pretenses I don't think "miffed" would be the word that would describe what I'd feel about them holding me responsible. Especially if I was still obviously trying to control the situations like a con man.

Yes, just as people who lose all their money to fake Nigerian Prince emails are really just taking control of their lives by divesting themselves of money so their kids can't inherit it. Especially when they're seniors suffering from dementia, because they're totally capable of that kind of objective philosophical…
