Would Kevin really have been so reckless as to come out about the relationship with Patrick to the team, and in such an obnoxious fashion, before they went to HR about it? Workplace romances are not forbidden, per se, but they do need to be acknowledged to the company in a more formal way than one guy wearing the…

I hadn't thought about why the family shows up next week. Clearly, mentioning Megan this week was the gun in Chekhov's first act so seeing her next week will be interesting. Patrick makes his first real foray into being his own man and it turns his sister against him.

Just made me think of Dawn and Tim.

And yet you made the effort to respond so not so much (yawn) is it? If you have to make the effort to appear jaded you care more than you think.

You use that word "racist." I do not think it means what you think it means.

When did any criticism become outrage. Because if this piece is what you call outrage, I have no idea what that word means.

But your hyperbole gland is functioning a-okay.

Actually, he commends the choice to show how a simple kindness can payoff years later.

Okay, I was confused by your two comments. Coming to this article from the Latina point of view, I thought it actually took pains to avoid calling Linklater racist so as to show even someone as progressive and thoughtful as Linklater appears to be can have these ethnic/racial blindspots.

Isn't that what this article is trying to do? To point out the tone-deaf approach to the very small theme, in very, very, very mild terms and giving Linklater the benefit of the doubt. That's all this article is trying to do. Open up the discussion about representation in movies and how there's a lot of…

Now who's going for the worst interpretation? What I got from this critique, as a Latina, is that Linklater, who in all likelihood isn't racist, never considered how casting only one Latino to play a role that basically thanks a nice white lady for changing his life could play given the very long history of "white…

"Neil Patrick Harris nixes hosting the Oscars again, politely hints that it he sucked"

Morally fluid, then? They're both gray characters, we're just more in Jimmy's head than Howard's. Which is for the good, since it probably smells like Acqua di Gio and spray tan, anyway.

The acceptance speeches are the one area that might prove interesting. Would this year's broadcast have been better without all the acceptance speeches?

It's the name "Hamlindigo" instead the more generic "HHM" that made it douchey. Not copyrighting the name, though. But douchey more in the self-absorbed way than in a straight up villain way. Good or bad, I think we can agree that Hamlin is very impressed with himself.

Better Call Saul is a prequel to Breaking Bad. The premiere establishes that it's 2002.

Hamlindigo Blue doesn't set off your douchemeter?

But wasn't Chuck also running around like a loon with the space blanket over his head. I think it's both halves of the equation that made the police come out.

But what about Betsy Kettleman?
