ohhh Joanie Joanie Joanie - that pained look of sadness/disappointment/ennui she sports after Donna repeats her “you’re fearless!” spiel is SO familiar to me. my mom gets the same way after a few glasses of vino and i am almost positive we’ve had the same exchange, verbatim.

You are talking about “Gotham” like it is supposed to make sense.

Kristen Bell just shared this amazing video of the other cast members finding out what the twist in the season 1 finale was!

“That’s Parker. I call him Mini-Me because he wants to be me so bad.”

I like the interpretation that Alan Sepinwall had where he pointed out that most of these people demons pretending to be good place inhabitants are normally torturing people the old way and are not that good at / used to the improv stuff. They did well the first time around but clearly they aren’t ready to deal with…

The follow up to the Yogurt line made me laugh

I cackled with glee at Chidi going back to the almond milk as the cause of his eternal damnation.

So glad to have TGP back on my screen! Ted Danson (and his bowties) continue to be a delight. Tahani’s uncomfortableness with everything was wonderful I was laughing at the way Jameela Jamil delivered every line, she is so good. Once again TGP reminding me how much I am Chidi.

Okay I’m gonna call it now: by the end of this season, Michael is so thoroughly aggravated by his human quarry that they eventually get recruited by the Bad Place to help devise new methods of torture, thereby forcing (in season 3) Michael and Eleanor to have to work together.

Those were both actually in reality, not the upside-down.

“Donna is as happy and proud as we’ve ever seen her when reading what turns out to be Haley’s Comet synopsis of Richard Pryor’s web entry.”
My own stray observation to your stray observation, more of a question really ... Comet becomes Wikipedia?

Ouch.

This season is definitely strong and dare I say, better than season 2!

What I want to know is....does Kelli still not know Sweetie’s name? LOL

The line about pork was so damn funny. In the wine-down after episode discussion Issa said that Natasha improvises like 50%-70% of her lines which makes so much sense.

For what it’s worth I feel like the show was presenting both “Daniel did the facial on purpose” and “Issa projects intention” as true, or at least Issa is just as quick to escalate her argument with Lawrence when she feels humiliated, turning it into a highly planned orchestration when it seems pretty clear that…

Yeah, what Daniel said was stupid, but I’m not sensing some deep seated revenge thing from him. Issa was already stressed out about the party and running into Lawrence, and I think she took some of that out on Daniel. But I do think that Daniel should have really talked to Issa (before now) about how he felt getting…

because she was going to meet his muslim relatives at a temple the next day, I laughed the he said “THEY HAVE SHUMAI SHOOTERS!!!” Shumai = pork.

But whatever Daniel believed he was doing last week, what he said this week reveals that he was keeping score, and that he didn’t think they were even until now.
