It makes me wonder what the reaction would be if their genders were reversed: if Kev wanted little to do with the kids and V wasn't interested in him sexually anymore.

I speak Franglais and can vouch for that; I couldn't tell you when my mom stopped speaking to me in French and switched to English and then back again.

Why the father and not both parents?

He's been living it up down in Alabama for the past few years, posing as a lawyer, of all things.

This is so absolutely correct.

I also think the fact that Mindy Lahiri has always wanted a kid will also play into it.

BENCHED IS CANCELLED??

I was mostly listening, and so failed to recognize Townsend. Did not even notice his accent.

"Send me a picture" nearly made me burst into tears, and I've found myself pretty hardened against the sentimentality of these latest episodes.

I knew that scene was coming and I was furious. She's the most self-absorbed human being ever. It's been a while since I've felt such strong hatred for a character that is meant to be beloved.

Jelani Cobb touches on this in his New Yorker piece this week: http://www.newyorker.com/ma…

I saw the rating before watching and was pleasantly surprised, but wondered if maybe the show was being rated on a different curve after the terrible first half of the season.

Clever, inventive, and hopefully heavily advertised so I could just skip it.

I agree, the telling part was how Charlie reacted to being pulled over, suggesting that this situation was the exception and not the rule. But I'm possibly over-thinking it.

Or as aware when it does happen.

Much like Rainbow, I have such a soft spot for Jack.

He was just so good. Like, so much better than any of the others. He had the whole vibe down.

"Did it handle Ferguson better than any other show that is set in the present day could have? Yes." This seems to be a bit of a bold statement, and if true, makes me sad for the current state of television. I even think TGW could have a done a much, much better job. There was nothing about this episode that made me…

I posted this upthread! I am HIGHLY suspicious.

I absolutely watch too many twisty shows, because this entire episode I was convinced that Adam staged the break in. A part of me still genuinely thinks it's possible.
