At first I thought this was a wasted bit. No one voting for Trump would ever see this and watch it all the way through. And while I still believe that to be true, John Oliver found a way to get part of his message to the world: He's trying to goad Trump into responding publicly about "Drumpf." He's trying to make

Rock was the host we needed last night.

This wasn't a terrible movie. The snark in the comments section legitimately surprises me. Why can't we have a film that encourages people to do what they want to do, even if they're not the best?

"We got a sense of who they are alone, now we get a sense of who they are together"

Exactly. This was a problem I saw coming months ago. And that's why I think this show pulled out the Darryl/White Josh story when it did. I mean, look at what everyone is making comments on. The subplot seemingly got people to overlook the glaring issue this show has as a whole. Darryl and White Josh could get married

You're saying Paula helping may get Rebecca into trouble, but at least she makes Rebecca focused. But sometimes focus on the wrong thing is a terrible idea. Paula has been co-conductor on the Josh train.

I mean, Hitler was able to focus people too. Doesn't mean he was a good person.

So this show is still going to focus on Josh after the last few episodes. Good. Totally not getting tired of that plot line. But it seems like commenters are, too, since it's all talk about Darryl and White Josh, so…

Yo can we talk about how if the events of last episode were realistic, she'd never get that close to Josh again?

Exactly, this case isn't about whether or not he abused her. It's about whether or not an unproven allegation should be enough to get someone out of their contract.

This show keeps giving people other than Gus and Mickey really strange quarks such as Heidi's weird sex scene with Gus. I feel like this is the writers' way of trying to say "Maybe Gus and Mickey need each other," but every other characters quirks is nowhere near as bad as Gus' or Mickey's.

Because the "will they/won't they" is more "THEY REALLY SHOULDN'T!"

While I again agree with your assessment, I don't see this show following through enough with Mickey. It has a scene or two to give the illusion of going darker with her, but it's still pretty surface level. Has she once gotten punished for her actions? I'd argue no, and that's my problem with her. Same thing with

I agree with every word you say about Gus, but I don't believe Mickey is "basically a good person." She's a good person in exactly the same way as Gus.

Where do you swing when it comes to my statement? Agree? Disagree? Thoughts on Gus and Mickey as people?

Can't we acknowledge Gus has a lot of problems but also acknowledge that Mickey is a terrible human being who is much worse than Gus?

This date was worse than Gus' date with Bertie. At least Gus and Bertie had fun when they were trying to outplay the other once they both knew the date was going south. The Gus/Mickey date just straight up sucked. SUCKED.

The only thing "special" about this show is that each episode tries to start close to or at the events of the previous episode's end.

I feel like Bertie and Mickey's relationship is like the one between Edgar and Lindsay on You're The Worst.

Keep fighting the good fight.
