Too long; didn't read.
Her real voice, after hearing her Diaz voice, is just creepy. Sounds like she's on helium.
That show is appallingly bad. I really tried, but I could only get through a few episodes of the first season before quitting. Blatant thievery from the Naked Gun (of which I'm a huge fan, but only of the first one), Airplane, Top Secret, etc., which may otherwise be excusable, except that it is painfully, painfully…
The Jody character is squicky, and gives off stalker vibes. He invades her apartment, tears out her furniture, and then buys her an entire apartment for her kid to run around in? The Danny character of this episode and the last was a lot more like the Danny character of earlier, rather than the hateful nut the…
Google "The Mindy Project Has a Man Problem" for a good article on what the awful writing of the Danny character, and the introduction of the truly skeevy Jody character, has done to the show. And then of course Warburton, the show-runner, gave a very recent interview saying that all is well and going to plan and the…
Uh . . . exactly my point. THIS show's stable of writers are lousy at consistent characterization. But instead of acknowledging that vis-à-vis the Danny character, fans seem to think that whatever he does, no matter how nasty, it's an outgrowth of long-established character traits. If the season finale has Danny…
It's almost like Danny is a fictional character in a wildly uneven sitcom whose personality changes every time they switch writers. Weird.
There's a huge difference between these two statements:
Season one was hit and miss. It gets better. Skytanic was, as is noted below, brilliant, and it was season one. "Tragical History, "Stage Two" and "El Secuestro" from season two are awesome. There are many other great episodes, and some really meh ones.
It was a major suckfest to have only ten episodes this season, although I shouldn't complain because some Archer is better than none. But cutting it to eight? I'm not sure that's going to get people jazzed to watch again.
What's so bizarre is the absolute silence on what happened. Messina gave a weird interview in May or so that answered nothing. It's just a silly TV show and utterly inconsequential by any measure of what's important in life, but still, you expect them to play by the rules.
Or from an old porno. I thought maybe the episode was going to run with the casting couch line and do an homage to Boogie Nights.
I just assumed it was Hulu, but that's only because Hulu, Netflix and Amazon are it for me - I've never used an individual network app. Hulu works very well, so maybe it was addressed to another service.
It fell apart awkwardly and inorganically because of crap writing and awful characterizations. They never should have gotten the pair together to begin with, but once they did, they did a good job with it, off and on, until they decided to break the couple up, which they did with hack scripts.
Kaling and Warburton gave a presser where they said, in the words of the reporter, that "season four's final four episodes are very Danny heavy." All the Danny-heavy scenes in this episode must have happened when I took my eyes off the screen long enough to pet the dog.
It would be nice if they toned down the constant shipping and schtupping and did other kinds of stories. Mary Tyler Moore was able to pull it off. Of course, Moore was also generous in giving her ensemble cast screen time and story lines, which opened up the possibilities.
Easy. I was just riffing on the fact that they keep reusing the same lines. This episode was really good.
The Mindy character tells the Morgan character that she's keeping quiet about playing Porked Ahoy! with the coach because she wants to make sure it's "real" first. But when they were cementing the Mindy-Danny relationship in the first show of the third season (ha ha - suckers!) , Mindy was telling the world about how…
And the product placement was annoying as hell. Look! She starts the car just by pushing a button! Yuck.
