random shoutout to teenaged kate. that girl is absolutely adorable and the outfit she stole straight out of angela chase's closet gave me such nostalgic glee.

i agree, the way they got kevin involved at the expense of all of his coworkers really blew. another commenter up there somewhere said it should've been kate. i would've been much happier with that.

randall feels like someone who gives literally everything his all, for a lot of complicated interlocking reasons, particularly relating to his race and the circumstances of his adoption. william's presence in his life and pending death is causing all of randall's carefully constructed walls to break down. i find it…

waiting two hours has been mentioned a couple of times here and while i'm not thrilled with how kevin dropped the entire cast & crew without a word, i'd be generally horrified if he'd come to the realization he had & done nothing about it so he could first spend 2 hours pretending to have emotions.

this is why i adored gone girl. i've never seen such an incisive takedown of the genre. having not read the book, i was thinking the flashbacks were kind of annoyingly cute, then i realized that was the point.

their relationship felt so lived in and real. that to me is romantic. 99% of romances are really just about infatuation.

i felt like the whole thing hinged on the infinitesimal possibility that they wouldn't just keep repeating the cycle. "this is very likely a terrible idea, but what if it…isn't?"

it's like ten plots and the only one that made sense was the sad cheating one.

YES truly, madly, deeply.

i liked the concept of eternal sunshine, but the execution lost me when they met again and decided to make another go of it. it felt like a cop-out.

my fanboner shriveled right up at that

burger king has an identical cousin called hungry jack's

i *just* realized that i was thinking they were the same person

i'm not arguing that it didn't go against expectations. i just don't think that was a bad idea on their part, as the commenter i originally responded to seemed to believe.

which does not discount being bi, even though people often think it does, and that's why i liked the way it was done without foreshadowing.

having a past relationship with one woman doesn't make a man straight. that's the beauty of bisexuality.

kevin is a turd. his efforts with sophie in their restaurant at their booth were eye-rolly and entitled as hell. then this week. he knew the entire time that randall's dad is deteriorating in front of his eyes, he showed up at his place of work to get moral support from him, he could see randall was getting…

i think we're meant to like him. but i also think this delay means kate/toby are not getting a happy ending. either he'll get finished off by another heart attack or they'll implode somehow.

god, that's my wish for so many women on TV, to get time to breathe. unfortunately very few showrunners allow them that.
