Doug had a week off.

I was specifically replying to your mention of Annie/Troy just because I've actually seen that show multiple times over, whereas I don't know Mindy Project. Schmidt and CeCe walked a weird line, and I'd probably say he crossed into harassment in the second season, but between missing a few episodes and that she…

I can see your points, and would love to hear some other opinions about it. My stance is mostly that, though it doesn't excuse her behavior were she a real human being, Troy's complete and utter obliviousness made the dynamic go down a lot easier within a sitcom context, and was a lot funnier. The joke didn't rely on…

The onus is on men to treat a "no" as a "no," and not a "no, but only because I want you to try again later." The latter is rarely the case, and I feel safe in saying is mostly the domain of immature people who either are consciously choosing the play mind games, or are unconsciously influenced by pop culture to…

But, as discussed with other examples in these comments, when it comes to Annie/Troy, the main differences to a Boyle/Rosa was:
1) Annie never asked out Troy, or told him about her feelings.
2) She rarely hung out with him more than a friend would, or interacted with him to the point where her unrequited crush curdled…

You are a dude.

I was so, so disappointed when it was revealed that Boyle was behind not giving Rosa the invite to his wedding. As unnatural as it probably was, I thought that his rushing into marriage with Vivian was a well-intentioned way for the show to quickly drop his infatuation with Rosa. And if it had actually been Vivian who…

I didn't think it was Robin. It occurred to me, but it sounded like someone different, which made the joke funnier in that verbally abusing Patrice seems to come naturally to everyone. I think the reviewer just assumed.

If they're implying he's a good match for her, it seems a decent acknowledgement on the part of the show that - though they probably didn't intend it - Kevin was both completely unprofessional and waaaaaaaay too into Robin too quickly.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend Jimmy's webisode, which almost packs in more celebrity impressions than Killam does in a season at SNL.

Did I miss a moment where they specifically acknowledged that Killam's character worked with Barney? Because I got (irrationally) annoyed waiting for them to mention it, to the point where - since I didn't know the name of Barney's workmate - I assumed Killam was playing a new character (and then got irrationally…

Is Fraction's Iron Man run worth reading through? I got a month of Marvel Unlimited after the $1 SXSW deal, and love his less traditional books.

As someone from the Ottawa suburbs (specifically Kemptville), world of difference. Like, people have nothing better to do than park pickup trucks side by side in parking lots and sit in the back and talk difference.

I care more about the mystery of Scully and Hitchcock's ages than I did about anything on Lost.

By the way, would you like to hear about how I don't find SNL funny anymore, and/or am shocked it's still on the air?

I thought the promotional crossover with Cosmos where Neil deGrasse-Tyson tells Ned that Krabappel never went to heaven, but had become just another insignificant part of our vast and impressive universe, was a bit inappropriate.
