"Mr. Purnsley on there?"
"You said you wanted him."
"Cross him off."

I was absolutely stunned when Dana actually said goodbye to him. I figured she would just continue to ignore his presence, much like everyone else in his life does at all times.

Danny Galvez. It was his dying(?) wish to have a child to carry on his legacy of being oblivious and inexplicably present at the happening of all important things.

Is Dana Brody moving to the CW or ABC Family? She got a new name and a new friend this week, and maybe now, Jess can actually spend some time parenting Chris. That boy ain't right.

I saw him perform this live a year and a half ago at one of the first stops of the tour. I thought it was hilarious, and I'm interested to see how this likely more-refined version of the material plays.

He should have closed his eyes and pretended it was Dennis. They are twins, after all.

Definitely, especially when viewed back-to-back. The shower horseplay definitely clinched it.

I also appreciate that Mac pointed out to me they were glad to be at a strip club because they weren't gay. Because from watching the volleyball scene, I would never have known.

When they showed Charlie in the bad wig with the cello, I wondered if maybe his character had been resurrected like Chief Lazarus. But nope, he had a twin, which was even better.

Another thing that bothers me - we're seven episodes in, and we never check in with what the Mother is doing independently from the main group? I understand that this is Ted's story, but couldn't we have an episode begin with, "While the egg scrambling competition was going on, your mother tells me she was doing yada…

I imagine she'll be just about to meet Ted… when some flying yolks hit her directly in the face or something, so she has to turn around and go clean up. Oh, so close!

Murray, present.

Todd mentioning the Itchy & Scratchy (& Poochie) Show reminds me of another quote from that episode that seems to fit this show pretty well. "So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?" Homeland is that show.

I was incredibly confused as to why Saul was invited on this retreat just to have it thrown in his face that he was losing this job he just decided he wanted. The chief of staff was supposedly his friend; he didn't feel it was the respectful thing to do to have a private meeting with Saul to tell him in private? I…

Peter Quinn hasn't been around in several episodes, but he's back tonight to get involved in Carrie and Saul's plan, but not really add anything much to it. He didn't do anything a random one-off surveillance dude character couldn't have done, besides have some conversations with Carrie that added nothing to the…

"I don't know how much you know, but Dana tried to kill herself." What a horribly written, horribly delivered line. Hol-ee shit. I have no idea why Carrie would know Dana Brody tried to kill herself, but Jessica seemed to find it plausible. Maybe she thinks Carrie is using her all-seeing, all-knowing spy powers to…

Totally agree with everything you said. The Andre-gets-pooped-on storyline was maybe the worst thing I've ever seen on a show I like. Not only did it not make any sense, but the constant use of the term "jugger-poop" as if it was supposed to be funny or clever was just really fucking stupid. Oh my god, a bird never…

PLACIDO DOMINGO

I move the actor be replaced by Jemaine Clement dressed up as Garfunkel.

I think my favorite part of this episode was that it mixed up the characters outside the usual pairings we see. Leslie is usually paired up with Ben or Ann or Ron (and more and more, with April lately). So it was nice to see her and Chris and Donna together in a story, which is a three-character team that I don't…
