I patted myself on the back for claiming there'd be a black and white scene in this episode because of the opening Rancho Rosa colors, and was really gratified that it took place on a Paris sidewalk.

I was wondering if Dad's tall tales were really all that tall, or just seemed that way to Bobby, because they were so weird.

I'll agree that James was very teen-acting, but I think Bobby generally did, as well. Sometimes Audrey; she was all mixed up, as girls often are at that age.

I scrolled down without first reading so I could say that. Enough with the unpacking, ugh. Writers dependent on trendy clichés have not earned the novels they're working on in their spare time.

Good point, and another reason for me to disbelieve this idea, happily. Plus, just what would be his motivation in having done so?

He isn't a "midget." The actor is 5'4", growth stunted because of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. If he wasn't, calling him a midget would put him on par with a circus freak, which is super not cool at all.

Testament to that, the fact that there was a Sunny Jim peanut butter (also jam, etc.) company in Seattle in the mid-late 20th century.

To me it feels, like several of the other prevalent theories, like a fan fiction idea that snowballed into mythic lore. However, if it's correct, but written by Frost/Lynch, I figure I won't think so when I see it.

And I really liked that jacket and her hairstyle. But I'm 52 as well, perhaps that's why.

I'm glad you pointed that out; I noticed that as a curiosity, but didn't take the time to complete the thought.

Their social media people use a lot of humor. I'll admit it's enticing.

It's not cut and dried. There are these neighborhood stores that sell a lot of liquor ( in some states; I live in one with stricter rules,) and snacks, but also basic groceries; more than just a convenience store, but with limited fresh stuff. That store seemed like a small grocery is all; there was a deli section at…

I think Richard is Johnny's kid. And that's why Ben said he never had a father.

I laughed when I saw those two bottles of Mr and Mrs T Bloody Mary Mix. Knew she was headed straight for the Smirnoff, though I imagined her waving the mix bottle over her glass like Churchill waving the vermouth. It's such a reflection of her time; back then people were also drinking something called "7 and 7," made…

We have them in all the bedrooms and family room, plus also air conditioning, house around 25 years old. They're nice for air circulation even though there's no smoke.

Sadly.

We did the same. The cc just said friend, but it sounded like two words, and one sounded a little like fork.

That certainly would be interesting. But sad! I guess I figure Shelley really only has a thing for bad boys. Bobby being so good turned her off or something, after they spawned their ridiculous daughter.

I’ve had a good time imagining the scene that resulted in DougieCoop walking out of the coffee house with a whole pie in a box they had to find, because they don’t usually sell whole pies.

Last week, right after the episode, I'd have given it maybe a B. But by the time I went to bed, I was at a B+. And the more I thought about it the next day, the more it came together for me, and I'd have given it A-. I feel like some episodes are that way. Like how the preserves taste good right when I make it, but…
