Dammit, all last night through the comments I knew there was another VM connection I saw through watching the episode and I couldn't remember what it was. This was it.

She's Nickelodeon's girl.

Okay that seems like a bit much. It's not like spending his last months with his family and watching the new Star Wars are mutually exclusive.

Maybe if you had gotten terminally ill and told them how bad the ending was, they would have changed it! Way to take one for the team.

Yes.

I never saw episode 2 or 3. …Dear god.

If that means Disney pays his medical bills instead of his widow… not a bad plan!

Ah, it's been on my list, but haven't gotten to it yet. There's too much TV!

Danny is 16, so I guess it depends on your age and state?

To me, most food in general is a gross local delicacy. I would not fare well in one of these challenges.

That makes sense, but I'm kind of glad we didn't see that narrative. It was nice to get a break from Abi.
