Okay, yes, good, I don't mean to sound rude at all but I am struggling to discern the connection between this fact and what I wrote?

Well that much I was treating as given. But they do say kiddush and so on (Nwabudike did it at the awkward dinner), so they're not totally secular.

You mean Bri, right?

I mean, maybe she's not, but the kids have certainly been raised Jewish and so even if she wasn't born Jewish there's a good chance she converted. But she looks and behaves EXACTLY like all of the Ashkenazi women of a certain age and temperament I've known in my life, which is a fair number, let me tell you.

That was the line that fully sold me on this show. I really enjoyed the drugs-on-the-beach scene, but when Lily Tomlin said that I cackled.

I loved Grace's choice of adjectives. Of course she'd say fun, because she's afraid she's not—but then she deletes it, because (especially with Frankie and Brianna having fun that has nothing to do with her in the next room), well, she's afraid she's not. So then she goes with cultured because it's the kind of thing…

If anything, Gina being Gina, I'd say a high five communicates greater respect and rapport than a handshake.

Yeah, my main criticism of the B plot is actually that I would have liked to spend more time on Gina and the girls. I'd have liked to actually see more of that and not just hear about ti.

I think she would. Vote Amy, Dummies.

I almost just asked you about your polling methodology and then decided my inner Amy could probably live without that knowledge.

I really liked when Grace told Robert he wasn't losing anything and he said, "that's not true." I think because his relationship with Grace was so much more about outsides and appearances (while Sol and Frankie had a genuine personal connection and intimacy) he didn't realize what he was going to miss about her until…

"God, I really do adore you. Don't come to the baby shower though"

She allowed Team Machine to train her out of actual murder and into maiming. She complained a lot, so we know it didn't come easy, but she did it anyway—for them. She sought to avenge her old partner, because she cared about him. She literally just sacrificed her life to help her friends after at least two instances…

(I secretly think Root's psyche is actually pretty straightforward and it's just that she's more willing to act in extreme ways on her worldview than most)

NOBODY ON THE INTERNET TALKS SHIT ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND

No problem, I can nerd out about Arabic grammar and etymology for PAGES so any opportunity is welcome :D

Well I certainly hope she doesn't try it to her face.

It's definitely Chris.

Well, there were all those rumors about him cheating on Miranda Lambert (whom he left his previous wife for), but as far as I know no actual confirmation. Maybe that leaked into some people's subconscious?

Sarah Shahi for me, no question. Honorable mentions to Stephanie Beatriz, Amy Acker, Lucy Liu.
