Why would anyone expect differently from her?

“How to make a woman listen”

Oh my God, they were roommates.

Oh, a snark detector. That’s a really useful invention. 

My wife and I went back and dissected each Tanya / Greg scene relative to him being a figment of her imagination and we came to this: there is a lot of unexplained weirdness to his interaction in the world, unlike any other character. He pretty much doesn’t interact out of scene with Tanya, but for the restaurant…

I agree that Albie and Portia’s stories are interesting, but I do think Portia does want that more aggressive, take-charge kind of guy. The first three episodes have seen Portia demand from the outset some casual sex—a romantic vacation tryst—and end up becoming an appendage of a man who she clearly finds increasingly…

I like White’s use of foreshadowing. It helps build tension as the onion is peeled back week-by-week. Too many high-end showrunner-writers seem to think they are above any conventional story-formatting devices and the productions suffer.

White has effectively set up the upcoming grift attempt by Cameron - and the…

I think Albie and Portia are interesting only in that Albie believes he is acting differently because he is using different language. Regardless, he is still constantly calculating how to have sex with Portia even if its in a more politically correct way.

“I’m the sucker who thought Cameron and Daphne were being written against type and had the more emotionally healthy and loving marriage." Me too!

Daphne really trying to convince herself that she does what she wants felt painful. And maybe to some degree she does, but it comes at a cost to the self aware Daphne vs the performance she has to put on for her husband. 

Armond was rebelling against something much bigger than Jake. Jake just wanted people who served him to remain in their place. Armond is an anti-capitalist hero. We need monuments for him.

One thing I like about Mike White’s shows is that while they are pretty brutal in showing everyone’s flaws, they also tend to have an enormous amount of empathy for the whole person...even for characters that other writers/shows use as punching bag villains. The couple opposite of Aubrey Plaza, for example, can…

I might, but I’ll need a Ouija board.

In her speech, the young Elizabeth compares herself to a boat, saying she hopes that she and the yacht will both be “big, broad and constant, capable of keelhauling any poop deck.”

Tanya has the assistant she both wants and deserves. She craves drama too much and is too crazy for an assistant who is professional as that person would also maintain appropriate boundaries. Like, a more experienced person would have said “I’ll find a nearby hotel and will remain in walking distance and completely…

So, Harper and Ethan’s marriage: He doesn’t want to get caught masturbating to the porn, so he quickly closes the laptop and pulls up the undies. Which looks like trying to hide something from Harper. Which is bad. But when the evidence of his activity is obvious, he doesn’t lie to his wife. Which is good. But when…

Valentina’s bluntness continues to be my favorite part of this season. When she guessed Peppa Pig when Tanya asked her to guess who she was trying to look like, hilarious. Completely agree that the show could use more of her and the staff.

“we’re all snobs, in different ways” ain’t that the truth.

I can just imagine Musk’s lawyers telling him about the WARN Act, and Musk making the jerkoff motion. Asswipe. 

I totally agree. Disney is a corporation run by a board, and their job is to make money for the stockholders. That’s it. It isn’t to make people HAPPY at the park, unless that increases their bottom line, and people being unhappy isn’t having any real impact now. (Will it down the line? That’s debatable. Personally I…
