I’m somewhat disappointed that this didn’t include some clear themes of this season. I feel like we’re beating around the bush here by not naming Danny’s behavior for what it is. It’s not simply controlling—it is emotionally abusive and manipulative. Tracking her ovulation cycle in order to impregnate her even after…

Agreed. I couldnt understand why they were making Danny such a miserable, selfish person, yet asking us to continue to love him. He’s a dick. He didn’t want Mindy to open her fertility clinic, he tried to trick-inseminate her, he sides with his mother CONSTANTLY, he’s condescending to her, and as someone upthread…
The problem with Danny is not so much that he’s a bad person, but he’s too confident in who he is. I see this a lot in people who get up in the image they have of themselves in their head. They think “this is who I am, I am right, and if you can’t get behind that 100% then you’re wrong (or wrong for me).” He tries to…
The best thing about The Mindy Project, despite the spotty pacing and structure are the AMAZING one liners.
MrStu has a theory that Chris Messina couldn’t sign on to season 5 so they’re trying to write him out. As it was, Danny had to be “gone” for the first months of his child’s life because Messina was in a movie. They may not have the money to keep him, but may have Dillahunt ready and signed for next season.
Danny was the reason I gave up watching The Mindy Project, because it seemed like the show didn’t realize he sucked. From this article, it seems like he’s even worse than when I gave up, but this development makes me want to pick it up again.
I think the difference between Danny and all of Mindy’s other major love interests is that they loved her for exactly who she is: flighty, self absorbed, but very smart. Danny, however, since Day 1 has openly wanted her to be somethin different. And I can relate to finding that (in a sick way) attractive and feeling…
Danny has been the worst since the beginning, and has somehow gotten event worst-er. After the last few weeks it looked like Mindy might leave him, but that’s such an unusual event for a tv show that I wasn’t sure it could happen. I really hope it stays this way.
“[C]onsistently inconsistent” is one way of putting it. In the first part of S1, Mindy Lahiri was a standout character that could be vapid, sharp, lazy, ambitious, insecure, successful, sincere and snarky in one, somewhat realistic package. But since then they’ve regularly smashed and reassembled those parts into new…
I love the Princess Bride, but call me crazy, people quoting it at length with no skill to a roomful of blatantly uninterested strangers is a personal hell of mine. NPR played clips of it several times and I had to exert a lot of energy not to just run my car off the road, hoping to die in the ensuing accident as long…
His face looks like god was making a handsome man, and then left him in the sun and it melted a little bit.
This is how you do it, dumb ass.
Are those extensions showing or am i just losing my eyesight?
“of course [she uses the ladies room], she’s wearing a Tom Ford dress!”
This is what he normally wears:
Ted Cruz dresses like a 16-year-old Lincoln Douglas debater.
I too, am on Team Ted Cruz is Actually Two Children Stacked On Top Of Each Other.
This reminds me of my number one issue with Rick Perry: Why do his collars go so high up his neck? (the answer, of course, is that good tailors are for elitist liberals)
