Once again, between this and FOTB, musical choices are incredible. I Go To Work - nailed it.

This is the crux of it: the joke wasn't about how flamboyant the gay men were being, it was on Jessica.

"Until I was three, I thought I was the only one who could see you."

That's a luxury the victims of racism don't have.

I love how long they focussed on it, and the extended beat before Jessica said that. So perfect.

Honestly, I've been telling people that this is ultimately an immigrant story. Doesn't matter where you came from, you know what it's like to tackle these same issues. Of course it would be cool to have one specific to your own background (I'm South Asian as well), I have enough East Asian friends that this is pretty

I think Zoey is actually 15, and believed it to be their 16th anniversary, hence the confusion.

He's such a goof even when trying to insult her that it plays off as ultimately harmless. Like, he referenced the 'bastard, Jon Snow' to make his point. The joke always ends up being on him, poor kid.

Jack really did nail his lines this week, too. His timing was perfect: "I'm going to have to pack a snack."

I just loved that they even had her say it. I expected her to make some cutting remark, but she eschewed the effort in favour of going straight to the heart of the matter.

Black-ish's use of music makes me so, so very happy. Bump 'n Grind two weeks ago, then Pharcyde last week, and now the most classic proposal song of all time?

Ruby was CRUSHING it tonight. I love that she just straight up said, fuck you, after the glass moment. Killed me.

This is the only role I've ever liked Emily Bergl's character in. She does a good job of playing hateful, but I'm thoroughly enjoying her Tammi.

Sons of Anarchy had the same effect. I know so many who binged it, and their opinions are significantly more generous than those of us who slogged through that nonsense for seven years.

Her asking if God can really hear her is one of the best line readings ever.

Holy shit, they used my favourite* Pharcyde track. I LOVE THIS SHOW FOREVER.

Counterpoints: Black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat.

I'm with you, I've never seen V's behaviour as selfish or neglectful. If breastfeeding is too onerous, she's allowed to opt for formula. Her selfishness is in direct response to Kevin's behaviour with their kids; I've never had a friend, male or female, be that obsessed with their kids. Concerned, caring, yes, but

I thought the same thing but then realized that Fiona would almost definitely terminate the pregnancy.

I think it's this logic: Fiona doesn't need to focus on her siblings, has time to fuck up her own life, her own life currently involves a husband and a man she's in love with (not the same person), ergo Fiona is gonna fuck Gus over.
