I was hesitant about NuGreg but he bowled me over immediately. His entrance into the show was seamless and I’m so excited to see where this goes now.

Same, actually. Well kinda. I have a BA in French from a very long time ago and I don’t get to use it very often. Lol. 

I’ve been dying to talk about this episode! Great review Arielle!

The scene in the Paris cabaret with the American translating her act for Midge was a great one, and also very jarring. I found I had an even harder time following ASP’s quick, witty dialogue when I was hearing it in two languages. But oddly, it felt kind of fitting. I don’t think I see it as a negative, just different…

Yeah, I think you win here (which of course you can’t really call it winning). Sorry you have to deal with that bullshit. 

You’re not old. I’m 35 and just fell in love with The 1975 like 8 months ago. You just have different music tastes. And that’s okay! 

Same! His song Ruin is one of my faves at the moment.

The midwesterners that are so maligned in comment sections all over are the ones that did the work and flipped important seats in the midterms. I don’t know what else we have to do to prove ourselves. 

At the risk of being the jerk who doesn’t get the joke/sarcasm, Dorcas was actually a very popular name a long time ago. In fact, I believe at least one of the women from the Salem Witch Trials was named Dorcas.

Did Susie somehow get possessed by the ice cream demon and Dorothea is how it manifests in her? 

It’s that way in MN. The gas alone is worth it. And if you wear prescription glasses their deals on eyewear are double worth it.

This is disgustingly unsurprising for many reasons but one of them, I would bet, is the racist stereotype of the ‘angry black woman.’ I would suspect that rates of black women being locked up are disproportionately high just like the rates for black men, and that more than likely plays a role in this too.

The dumbest destination wedding I’ve been too was my dumbass brother in law. He lives in South Dakota, and he married a woman from Florida. They got married in Baltimore in July. They have literally no connection to Baltimore. So stupid. 

I had a conversation about this movie today with a guy I work with. He’s a self proclaimed film buff. He also says a lot of things every day that lead me to believe he’s a borderline men’s rights guy.

Oh thank you. I was waiting and hoping for this beef explainer. :)

I’m from Minneapolis and thought the same. 

I’m glad somebody said this because this is exactly what I thought while reading it. 

That makes way more sense. For the amount of TV I watch, you’d think I wouldn’t get tripped up by something like that. Thanks!

Did I miss something, or are we supposed to know who killed Odin? It seemed like the implication might be that Molly killed him when she went to rescue Henry. Or am I completely off base? 

That’s what I thought was the weirdest and made me think it was trolling! Suddenly we had a whole scene built around ‘how many times can we say this character’s name’ in the finale after never hearing it in 12 other episodes.
