Eh—Princeton Plainsboro is depicted as being in an old building or series of old buildings that have been remodeled and added to over time.  It's on an old university campus.

>>I know I’m likely projecting, but man, Tom Arnold looked coked up.

Magazines?  That's his big distraction?  What kind of pre-internet plot contrivance is he living in?

Does this mean she's already hooked up with Taub at some point?

There were blocking issues and minor little gaffes all over this episode—a couple where the actors clearly noticed/reacted to their own mistake, then just plowed on through.  It was like the whole episode was cobbled together from second-best takes.

Ferguson's opening theme song is wonderful and saying otherwise makes you a bad person.

It just kills me that Emmet Otter was shot on video instead of film.  That's the one detail that's aged the worst.  The grainy video and harsh lighting gives it the look of a late-70's made-by-your-local-PBS-affiliate educational program.

I'd kind of love to hear Dan Savage's second opinion on everything Deb's therapist had to say about her feelings for Dexter.

A-fucking-men.

Deb's employer would never send her to a psychodynamic therapist and her worker's comp would never pay for it.  She would be sent to a cognitive-behaviorist who would be working from a structured, pre-ordained treatment plan to specifically address job related anxieties or issues like PTSD.

Carol Kane sucks?!?
*Points at Lobsters 1 and shrieks like the Body Snatchers*

>>"Someone with a heart would be miserable right now," and then you'd see Dex looking obviously, sincerely miserable.

How many marinas, how many docks, how many goddamned boats are there along the coasts and waterways of Miami?  How fucking long would it take to track down one specific boat if you don't work in the registration division of the Florida Tax Collector's Office?

Is that why they brought that new character in?  Because I've been wondering, every single time we see him, what the fuck the point ever was of introducing a new character to the cast.  He adds nothing to the show and performs no role that an established character couldn't  do, so unless Deb is gonna fuck him or…

Yeah—Debra doesn't have a Harry or her own inner-monologue voiceover to exposit every god. damned. thing. so they've had to resort to sending her into twice-weekly therapy to make up for the shittiness of their writing.

Like it matters, what with his fingerprints all over everything…

Well I'm sure Chris would have been perfectly happy to bang your 17-18 year old self.  He probably banged every 17-18 year old chick to go rolling through Cicely, and made every single one of them feel totally special and not like a disposable one night stand at all.

Bleah.  He's more like the representation of a perfect male as contrived by marketing researchers to appeal to a specific demographic of women.

That was the East Side…where the WASPy people lived, and where the Jeffersons would have been more out of place.  The West Side was always where the Jews, theater folks, celebrities and faux-hemians lived.

No, but the potential seems to be there for Quinn to be killed off—likely in some way that gives him a melodramatic final grasp at some redemption and nobility.  And Quinn is such a waste of episode-time at this point that I'd be happy to see him bumped off.
