Hey, do you know why the mouth swabs aren't more common? I always wonder when they're poking me with needles and making me wait around for results. Are they more expensive?

Swiftly undercut by Dom and Agustin's horror at the seedy motel…

I was *ahem* not disappointed with Kevin's ass.

I feel the same way Lynn does, but now that I'm feeling personally invested in his story/portrayal I just want him to be more perfectly understanding and talk with Dom about Dom's discomfort.

Well, she doesn't seem to have a filter. I love it on my TV, but I'd get tetchy if she were turning her wit on my bad decisions.

Yes on appreciation for these reviews! They always get me thinking about the episode in new and interesting ways.

Perfect, since I wanted to overshare about open relationships anyway! I'm so completely in the bring-me-good-stories camp with Lynn. I have a strong preference for an open relationship, but I almost think I couldn't do it if it was all supposed to be kept secret from each other, like that would make it feel like…

Amanda Peet and Steve Zissis will never be Aunt Charmaine and Neal!

You'll get no argument from me there!

I don't know why sitting at home alone and writing is more real than writing within the structure of a degree program.

What a ridiculous article!

Russell Tovey? Yes. Kevin? Noooooo

:(

That shit was not camping.

I'm so glad you're with me on the Kevin hate, although I can't agree about his attractiveness.

I can't upvote this enough. God I miss that show.

Perfect! You can tell me whether to watch them when they arrive on Logo.

Completely agree about Kevin being predatory. He's always very glib and manipulative, and it feels practiced. And he uses the fact that he's Patrick's boss! He is just the worst.

Me too! But it feels like a smaller ask to say, "Why can't Andrew Haigh address whatever?" than, "Why can't HBO give me a show about whatever?" even though the latter is what's really missing.

Presumably. She did freak out recently when, in another program, someone kissed someone HIV+, and we had a little talk, so at least we know this time she didn't think the kissing was negating the condom use.
