Liv didn't tell them it was her birthday, though. (I am pretty sure, anyway. I might have missed it.) I wonder if she had said it was her birthday if Clive would have been less weird about it? He… might also still think she's a racist?

Absolutely. I am 100% here for that kind of Vampire Weekend.

I definitely agree that Morgan/Danny roadtrip time is not one of the show's strongest episodes, but I fully support Mindy Kaling getting a break from time to time.

…you are not. Though I was in high school when I discovered/enjoyed it. So I probably cannot be trusted.

Cheese makes everything better.

I was kind of horrified by how little Carol did to stand up for Phil in this episode. Yes, she did suggest that she thought the punishments were going overboard and I guess Phil persuaded her that he actually wanted to go through them. But if Phil were my husband, I don't care how badly I wanted friends, I'd have told…

I am honestly 100% sure that your parents are very nice people and would never intentionally do something that they thought was cruel. I feel the same about my parents and they declawed the cat I had when I was a child. It was not an uncommon practice at the time, but now it is considered a not-great thing to do to a…

I cannot deny that it is very affecting to see Elizabeth sitting alone at the head of a long table while a bunch of men try to tell her what to do. I am not even a little bit invested in her relationship with Dudley. It seems like a weird choice on the show's behalf to sort of jump straight into the middle of their…

I… was the teenage girl who was obsessed with history. And I still find this show entertaining as hell! It is full-on bonkers, which is as it should be!

I will never stop being amused by Dermot Mulroney/Dylan McDermott jokes. My friend and I just call them both Dermot McDermott.

That was my read on that situation too.

I think what they were going for with the Lola/Narcisse storyline is that Lola doesn't trust Narcisse and doesn't want to give him the kind of control over her life that he would have if he were her husband. She does, however, have feelings for him and want to bang him, so once Francis definitively tells her that…

The only thing I appreciated about Liv's really racist line was the fact that Clive responded like it was exactly as offensive as it was. Because I'm sure there are people who don't consider themselves racist who think it's totally okay to say something like that because they are "complimenting" the person to whom…

I have loved this Peter Pan movie since it came out. I saw it in theaters, lured by the appeal of Jason Isaacs and I was not disappointed. This movie does a great job of exploring what a tragic character Peter Pan really is.

I get that. And I would definitely argue against several of the reasons people put forward against keeping one's maiden name. My mother and I do not share a last name and no one has ever assumed that she wasn't my mother or that my parents were unmarried or any other stupid thing that people suggest someone might…

I guess I was a little vague, but I pretty much meant the day that I was eagerly waiting for was marriage. I don't really want to exchange my name for something random. I don't hate my dad or his name or anything like that.

In a lot of Spanish-speaking countries, almost everyone has two last names, one from each parent. So the hypothetical child of Jose Lopez Perez and Maria Gomez Garcia would be Child Lopez Gomez. It does unfortunately perpetuate the patriarchy by prioritizing the paternal family names, but it's more even than giving…

It honestly had never occurred to me at all that Mindy Lahiri would not keep her name after marrying Danny. Though I can definitely see them getting an episode's worth of couple-conflict out of it (as Danny would almost certainly assume she was going to change her name).

Because I don't dislike my name? Also, I am pretty sure (based on some conversations I have had with friends) that changing your name when you are not getting married is somewhat pricey.
