I liked how the press conferences had what appeared to be reporters from 20 different news organizations- on a fleet with only about 50,000 people left!

Exactly. He's much more aware of what's going on around him. I actually liked Season 1 Derek more as a character.

Nothing usually gets to me except for stories involving animals. I actually teared up over that dumb dog.

I don't mind the show- I think it has its moments. I definitely see a difference in how Gervais is playing Derek in Season 2 over Season 1. In the second season, Derek seems smarter and more self-aware. I don't think Season 1 Derek would even try to put up a posting on a dating site, or even worry about getting any…

Yeah, plus it just makes more sense. Why would Pete even think about Don being in the dead guy's office?

“I hate to say, but I knew where to find you.”
The above quote is throwaway line from “The Strategy,” delivered by the delightfully loathsome Pete Campbell after he discovers Don working out of a dead man’s office.

I agree with you- even though I wasn't there with them I wanted to yell at them to split up and go have some fun.

So, in what country do you live? Just curious.

"The Hecks’ first day at Disney ends up being a wash, more or less, with
the family spending so much time on Brick’s hat shenanigans, making sure
Sue hasn’t permanently damaged herself, and trying to follow the
instructions in her Disney binder that they don’t actually end up riding

I really enjoyed the episode- two things rubbed me the wrong way (in terms of the characters on the show): (1) Rusty's dismissive shrug/look when Mike asked him if he didn't think that Mike might want Brick to actually win the spelling bee, and (2) Axl hanging out and partying while Frankie actively searched for the…

Did anyone else notice what I thought was a mistake in the scene in the British Museum? Around the time the hieroglyphics were being studied, it looked suspiciously like either King Tut's sarcophagus or one very much like it was resting against the wall. King Tut's tomb wasn't discovered until 1922.

That conspiracy includes more than fat women based on my experience!

I get that, but in reality, he also might not have found her very pretty, or something else. But, the storyline was about weight, so yeah.

Can men be punished for maybe simply not being attracted to overweight women, in general? I'm not necessarily talking about myself- in high school I dated a girl much heavier than myself for years. But, truthfully, I don't really notice many overweight women that I find attractive now. It's not a conscious decision,…

I'll give you the being distracted and driving an old way or something, but the car parked in back for a week? nah…

I know it's fictional, but the idea of Dan killing a stray dog kind of made me ill and may have ruined the character for me.
