See, for me it worked because it was such an obvious trope. When he said "Don't open the red door" it was clearly going to be enticing, and she was obviously going to open it, just like the leaked emails were obviously going to be read. (And just like the wax mannequin was obviously going to fall off the roof.) It was…

It's an interesting comparison. They're similar in many ways, so it's not an essential difference. For me, Good Place was a show that had me waiting each week to find out what happened next, and after the finale I was eager to discuss it with friends. Trial and Error was one where I watched all the episodes, I think.…

I think they'll be planning a baby shower.

I think the DJ should get the Hector/George Award.

I've been trying to decide if the songs are weaker or not. There were more songs in season one, because there were more episodes, so it's easier to forget clunkers like (in my opinion) "Women Gotta Stick Together" or ones that kind of depended on a context. (Not being a big fan of Les Mis, I don't get much out of…

In one way, this could be explained in a similar way to Mrs. Hernandez: we're seeing this world through Rebecca's filter, and because she never noticed Mrs. Hernandez talking, we never saw it. Because Rebecca sees Darryl as so strange as to be incompetent, that's how we see him.

It's probably different for two reasons: how closely they worked together, and how public their interaction was. It isn't so parallel to the woman who sat in the desk behind yours as it would be to the person who collaborated daily on your projects. If you had a co-worker like that, you'd possibly remain friends, and…

A sexy shirtless Swiffer.

Yes, I was surprised "His Status" didn't come up higher on the various lists. I love that the things turning Paula on are all the things that make my mom and/or Linda Belcher say "Ooooh, fancy!" Like, "Oooh, omelet station! Fancy!"

That's what I thought with "What'll It Be"—still probably my #1 song from the show. It also led to my I-guess-disproved theory that once he was fully infected, Season 2 would be "Crazy Ex-Boyfriend" starring Santino Fontana.

Cheap Trick's "Voices" will always make me think of HIMYM.

Somewhat. And that sucks. But I've often thought this happens at such a different level. You have to reach a high level of achievement in music, acting, movies, comedy, whatever, before the common public view is, "Yes, I know he's accused of horrible things—but come on, he's Woody Allen."

There can be interesting stories, sure. But that doesn't seem to be what draws people about it. I don't hear people saying, "The Detroit Tigers are having a really interesting story this year." I'd think that if that were the case, people would choose their sports viewing based on the story. I could be interested in…

Or you could post pictures of his dick on the Internet.

Don't you mean you'll throw a rock (ROCK!) that says "Ever"?

That's the trickiest thing with advice—he says it's a vibe, not something specific she does to say "By the way, this is duty sex." We can't really tell if the vibe is mostly in his mind, or actually in her actions. And we can't tell whether her grudging approach is really obvious or just something he reads too much…

That's what I thought too, and the "It was my decision" was a big part of that. It seemed kind of controlling—like, if I can't enforce my decision to have lots of sex, then I'm going to make a decision I can enforce, that we're not having any of it.

I get that, but I do think there's a gradient between "I can now see why my parents didn't approve" and "I should not have done that," and even further, "This is categorically wrong." And I probably assumed a version of you and your niece based on the sliver of information I had—assumed that you might be talking like…

Of course, I have to be delicate in discussing this, because of course, "Don't have sex with kids" is a good rule.
