I don’t at all understand why Victoire chose the sushi emoji. It wasn’t the only one remaining. She could have chosen any of the other more abstract ones and interpreted them into whatever kind of dish she felt like doing instead of picking something very literal that she doesn’t like.

I have no idea what Dale was thinking. Part of the challenge was to make a dish with a personal message that represented the chef and he chose an incredibly complex Mexican dish that he had only made four times before? It sounded like a terrible idea the second he said that was his plan. And given his first…

One other callout: Ted Lasso’s epiphany is brought about by a barbecue sauce that, Google informs me, is the signature sauce of a famous Kansas City barbecue chef (geographic tie for both Ted Lasso and Jason Sudeikis). Also, remember when he said “barbecue sauce” before he sinks the final dart shot in Season 1's match…

Your comment is a better review than the review. Thank you for providing some context and analysis that we (or at least I) would have missed otherwise.

With the whiff of a filler set piece, this subplot had all of Richmond’s players remembering that the best way to spend a curfew-free night in Amsterdam is to not go see tulips, not eat Dutch food, not attend a private party, and definitely not bear witness to a sex show and instead to have a pillow fight(?).

One of the ways this show really shines is the catty putdowns they toss off about normal people. First episode was the “ludicrously capacious handbag” and this one was about Willa’s mom having too much food on her plate: “Does she know she can go back?” If you’ve hung around people like this the tone of the writing is…

There’s also a second episode!

He doesn’t want Logan’s love. He wants his respect.

Someone? Are you sure you don’t want to put it in the headline like you did last week?

I love potato girl, but that dish looked like something from a sun bleached recipe book from the 80s. 

And a La Cucaracha car horn. 

And he needs to just keep endlessly mashing it until they feed him to Jar Jar Binks.

It’s an ongoing issue for me with these shows, including Fett and Obi-Wan. I’m no military strategist but anyone who has ever played a videogame can see how dumb everyone is. Most of the time everyone approaches from the front and then stands out in the open shooting at each other. They constantly forget they have…

[Simpsons Wise Guy voice] “Yep, here’s your problem. Someone set this thing to NERF.”

“Shouldn’t we all uhh, maybe, have some of those?” - Mandalorians

Poor battle tactics are really just par for the course in this show. When that “ship” was approaching after they first landed on Mandalore, one of the Mandalorians said, “flanking left” and then proceeded to just crouch behind a rock five feet to the left. And somehow he was still the smartest one as the rest of them…

Grogu needs a “this is the way” button.

Wasn’t Dani supposed to be a Zava-level (or close) superstar when first introduced?
