By this point I don’t think Abe is as bad as we first thought he’d be. In the early episodes, he seemed more like a one-note cliche of the stern, very conservative father. As the series has gone on, we’ve seen other, very different sides of him, especially in Paris and after their return home as well, that have…

I’m only up to this episode, but at least until this point, it seems that Midge’s standup style is unique in that it’s entirely improvised. She had a “tight ten” ready to go at one point but she just blew it off when the moment came. Maybe as her career takes off she'll adapt a more conventional method 

I took it as her testing him to see if he was smart and cool enough to appreciate modern standup, if he’d have a good time and dig Lenny; if not,  then he and she are not compatible. He passed with flying colors!

One thing that seemed a little off was that the male comics were so hurt or mad about Midge’s skewering them on stage. Seems it would be more characteristic of comedians to love that and for it to get her welcomed into their little club. Comics are supposed to be ahead of the curve and enjoy both dishing it out and and…

Woody Allen made the “goys like white bread and mayonnaise” joke in both Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters.

Yeah, I lost all hope for Shiv when she sold her soul once and for all by getting in the picture. It looked for a minute like it was going to be a turning point for her, like she was finally going to stand up to the family for her convictions, but that went right down the drain. You’d think she could come up with a…

Whatever happened to Roman’s girlfriend from the underground sex club, the one who’d blown Tom? Tabitha I think? That role seems like a big step down for the actress,  after being one of the leads as Libby in “Masters of Sex.”

He’s also incredibly lazy. Everything he does is to avoid, by hook or by crook, ever having to earn a living for himself.

In the next episode, Roman very inaccurately says that his Dad is “always six moves ahead.” He worships him.

Because even before you shorten it,  it's always pronounced with a "v "

I think it’s not just her, it’s in general use a name, lots of women have it and it seems to be spelled Siobahn (I even noticed someone in the scrolling credits with that first name after the last episode I watched) and always pronounced Zhvonne, which I don’t get - who came up with this!

Or even “zhvonne.” What’s up with that name anyway? Spelled with a B, but pronounced with a V.

Old female people maybe! Not too many of us guys ever read that mag!

Roman knew about Shiv’s letter scorching Kendall; he declined to sign it, thought it went way too far.

Overall the show does seem to me, certainly at this point, like it goes in circles, variations on a theme, without the overall story ever really getting anywhere. Yep, in that sort of classic sitcom (or even old school drama) style. 

Gramps told him it would have been 250 mill if he quit Logan; I think Greg said his mother told him that even in that case, he still get 5 mill (which Tom told him is basically nothing). No idea how she thinks she knows that 

I thought the same thing about Greg, people keep saying that he signed on but we never saw it happen, so I didn’t believe it. Turns out it was true though.

A first-*semester* law student!

• When did Greg tell him about the incriminating documents he saved?

Roman is definitely not big on tact and restraint when saying stuff.
