I actually found Adam's dialogue in that scene extremely annoying. Sarah goes to her brother to get his opinion on whether Hank is good for her not Max. It's great that Hank understands Max and helps him grow. That has naught to do with him and Sarah. I understand Adam's perspective completely, but once again,…

Late to this party but I'd just like to note that I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates that hair. I was so sad when he left first season (and might have only started watching again because he came back).

Well into the 90s

Hmm… I don't remember that at all. And I totally understand that Jeff is not a rational character, so I can't put my finger on why this doesn't work for me

But Max is in middle school now right? So maybe he's at a different school.

Jeff being self-conscious about his age I can buy. Jeff downing a fifth of scotch and taking Korean youth rejuvenating pills strains credibility for me.

I did watch season four and this was still one of my least liked episodes (although this could be a product of recency and deliberate repression). Maybe I'm too young to really appreciate the homage, because I couldn't help but wondering what I was supposed to be getting from this episode.

Don't feel dumb about associating the show with an ex. It took me months to finish Cowboy Beebop after my ex and I broke up (he introduced me to the show).

Why in the world would Mary Beth want to hook up with Tank?

I'm going to be veeery interested to see how Bay handles the realization she cheated on Tank. I also hope this means Tank goes away, because his characterization since Bank became a thing has been all over the place.

Since I made some very long-winded complaints about Daphne's sudden desire to be a doctor, I was very glad to see her actually taking time to figure out if medicine is for he, before diving in to premed programs.

Yeah, I've literally never gotten any sort of sexual vibe from from Drew and Amber (and I watched the Borgias and GoT, so it's not like I refuse to acknowledge it could happen). They just seem like siblings who learned to depend on each other during an unstable childhood.

I was particularly impressed by Sydney's tantrum at the dinner table. She absolutely sold it and I can see how a child grasping to understand a pretty opaque situation would come to the conclusion she did. That said, she was absolutely horrible to her brother.

When Daphne first asked she wasn't sure how their relationship would work, I was very confused. Then the possibility she was actually asking about his penis hit me and I spent the rest of that scene in sustained incredulity. Really, Daphne? REALLY? It's a legitimate concern, but to be like, "Hey I like you btw, does…

Being capable of interacting with your abuser does not mean you should be expected to do so. But you do make a good distinction. For as often as it's mentioned that the twins had a hand in Boyd and Erica's murders, no one but Isaac (and occasionally Lydia) actually seems to care.

If I'm understanding the Teen Wolf wiki correctly (the details have blurred for me as well), Peter bit Lydia in the first season because he needed to get into someone's head and he knew she'd be immune. Once in her head he basically traumatized her and threatened her friends until she agreed to perform a ceremony…

Every interaction between Lydia and Peter infuriates me. Allison is the only person who seems to remember that he psychologically tortured her and used her for his own resurrection.

There was actually more about this episode that I liked than disliked and I agree with absolutely everything Carrie has written in her review (and the stray observations because Mary Beth was definitely pushing it). Since the show is committing to the Daphne-Jorge-Campbell triangle, I'll just say I'm much happier with…

Now that I've thought about it more, I realize my issue with the "Daphne wants to be a doctor" story isn't that she's (seemingly) abandoned cooking, nor is it the interest in a career in medicine (as you are right, it's hard to really know what you want to do at such a young age). My issue is with how the show has…

I wanted to believe this, but the mother dropped the line so casually and without realizing the weight of whatever it accidentally referenced. If something involving mothers and weddings had already happened to either Ted or her, something important enough to derail conversation (at least slightly) then I doubt it…
