I prefer to think of it this way: Greg got out of that mess in one piece! I'm not sure ANYONE ELSE WILL. Maybe Paula's kid Brandon.

I prefer to think of it as Greg getting the fuck out of that place of insanity.

Oh, I think that's really too bad. There's so much talent on this show, and it's not as though he's been forced out.

We demand more Grocery Clerk with Half an Eyelid!

I don't know that it's super healthy to feel betrayed by an actor leaving a show. It's a job, you know? That was my life for awhile and you can't make choices that harm your life just to satisfy fans. I thought it was a totally lovely ending for a character most of us love - and there's no reason he can't come back at…

The situation's a lot more nuanced than that.

Seconded. I thought his scene with Greg was especially great.

Cheery is definitely not what I'd call it, but sure. I think the idea that people often fixate on relationships as either The Whole Problem or The Only Solution is a given, and it's much harder to get to the point where you recognize that you really need to work on yourself.

That is very, very kind. I'm so glad you liked it.

Thanks!

She's great on pretty much anything. Her Mad Men arc was also pretty devastating.

I might take first state dinner in the 'will-they-or-when-they' poll.

That's a fair point, but when they do (rarely) get any instruction, it seems to go right over their heads.

That's the best nitpick I've ever read. I mean, I know how to do that, but not with LONG SLEEVES!

Hear hear

Hey again! For what it's worth, I brought it up because the show brought it up.

Solid nitpick.

It's people, and they travel in time? That's about it.
