The widow didn't think Smith killed him, she just thought that someone killed him, and because he'd received so many death threats, she has so many suspects that she broke down. Sure, she may be a little suspicious that Smith didn't do more to help her investigate and that the "mix-up" occurred—but even with that, I…

We were cackling because it was obviously a, "Here, watch pretty people have sex!" moment, yet she kept her bra on.

Yeah, I really can't call her a "Nazi sympathizer" when her protection of Thomas stems from a deep-seated belief that Nazi eugenic policies are wrong. That's…pretty much the opposite of sympathizing.

(Sorry. You are right.)

Also: Eleanor's final selfless act put her score above Tahani's!

It wasn't -4000 at the time of death, it was -4000 based on her time in The Good Place. Important distinction.

Yeah, SHE wasn't the one who kicked the dog into space.

It actually makes sense for Tahani's real soulmate to have an IQ as low as Jason's. That way, she'd never feel threatened that he'd upstage her.

Yup, I find Frank to be the most exasperating character in the series. "Sure, I'll get my best friend involved with the Yakuza and then leave hi to deal with that, I'll fuck this Japanese-American woman and hate her for it, and I'll just keep stirring all the shit, then wander off to stir more shit."

"You're letting me go?!"
"Yes. We're letting you go."

It wasn't just the murder. Melissa has been losing it since Todd rejected her proposal. Remember her gnawing at her bedazzled boots?

Yeah. I love Mary Steenburgen's work here, but if they reveal that she didn't shoot herself, it'd feel completely unearned. She spend DAYS in there. She was injured and in pain. She was probably out of wine. She made several attempts to escape, and it's not as though she overlooked something obvious.

WHY WERE THEY BURYING IT?! IT'S PROTEIN!

Also, Gail being Gail, she probably drank all the wine by now, which factors into her decision to give up.

As I noted above, I thought they did establish that there's no escape hatch. She climbed to the ceiling, felt around, and said, "I guess that's only true in movies." Does no one else remember that?

I thought there was a scene right when she got stuck where Gail said, "Heh, I'll be out in no time," climbed to the ceiling, felt around for a hatch, then said, "I guess that's only true in movies." Didn't that happen? Am I hallucinating it?

I LOVE what they're doing with Melissa. Really, it's been a long, downward spiral since Todd rejected her and she started un-Bedazzling her boots with her teeth. People complain that January Jones has no depth, but damn she's great at going dark. The axe station bit was hilarious.

My husband is a Padres fan (poor guy). He's so excited about this show, even though I teased him about how they chose to use the Padres because they're a perennially disappointing team. Anyway, I'm so used to having Padres games on the television that sometimes I'll glance up during Pitch, see a score on the screen,…

I want to be able to like this show. I'm sure the basic premise has been pitched hundreds of times, so I was hoping that the reason this was the show that got made would be because it stood out somehow. But…it's not good. Government just doesn't work that way, even with most of federal players dead. Maggie Q's…

The first season is into "so bad, it's good" territory, with a lot of ham-fistedness. Then the second season started off good and became great. But you have to watch the first season to understand the relationships that drive the series.
