Weird misread on the somehow both funny and chilling Fiona plot line. The montage of him pawing her was deeply creepy—you could feel the oppressive claustrophobia of it, very “I must scream.” The looks on all the Octopipers’ faces was gold>

And honestly it was nice to see an episode where Richard didn’t fuck anything…

He is incredible in this. Every time Noho appears I cringe and rejoice.

I like the way I’m hating Fuches! I’d expected to hate him sooner, like he’d be Dan Aykroyd in Grosse Pointe Blank. This was sneakier.

(I also just adore Stephen Root.)

I have done a full-on spray-someone spit take from laughter, but not surprise.

I did once surprise my friend into spitting his coffee back into his cup, but it wasn’t a dramatic spray. It was a like a world-weary, urbane spit take.

(I had just told him I’d recently lost my virginity, to an improbable person he was…

I think this is different than Bernie, a bit, in that NYS Governor doesn’t have a term limit. So Nixon would have to primary him eventually (or else wait until he retired which would likely be quite some time).

I was very impressed by that one.

I agree heartily with Cookie Monster below...but Cuomo’s mad leftward scramble the past few weeks has left me a little horrified. Now I know all the stuff he could’ve been doing with the state this whole time.

Or, alternatively, he’s not actually going to do any of the crap he’s talking about. Neither’s a great look.

Really? Any day? Any governor’s son?  

(My questions here are unrelated to Cuomo. Just unfamiliar with the general perfidy of governors’ sons.)

The trailer literally shows her looking in a mirror.

I saw that in the movie theater and laughed exactly twice.

I don’t see what Mamma Mia or Legally Blonde has in common with any of those besides blonde protagonists.

(Of the 6 movies you name, only 2 involve a fashion or media role. Legally Blonde in fact, has a clue in the title.)

I agree. Either they find a way to live an actual life at some point, or they don’t. Neither of those gives us 20 seasons of interesting television...but constantly setting up some new this-time-for-real safe place only to demolish it is not interesting either.

When they got to Alexandria I thought Rick and Carol were…

Any cooked green.

Raw spinach? Nom nom nom yes please. Cooked spinach? You have officially ruined whatever dish you’re touching.

Just remembered that on Studio 60, they did that saggy G&S bit because their musical guest got laryngitis and couldn’t perform. Their musical guest...Jack White. (At the time of The White Stripes, but it was specifically Jack who was sick.) Trying to craft a conspiracy theory out of this.

(Also, on Studio 60, Jack…

They cut that???? It was adorable! Jack White!!!

I think they have that at Bare Burger, too.

I had the Impossible Burger at Bare Burger. Texture was spot on but taste-wise it didn’t really work without ketchup.

Recently the server brought only my sister’s entree, and not mine. I got suspicious because he didn’t say, “Yours will be right out” or anything like that. Eventually my sister (who is a server herself) goes and finds the guy and discovers he’d just never put in my order. (I guess he thought we were sharing the one…

(Wait. You know I was agreeing with you, right?)

Done and done!

(And I mean done.)
