I’m pretty sure William was being deliberately wry.

Mike’s “It was an accident” re his Icicular manslaughter was odd. He wasn’t very believable, but I have no idea whether that was a limitation of Mike’s performance or of Trae Romano’s.

I don’t understand the point of “finish what’s on your plate”. Once the food has been served (really once the food has been prepared), the resources have been used up. It doesn’t matter whether the food from the plate goes in your mouth, your principal’s mouth, or the garbage can - it’s still gone. “Take less next…

Great episode and, like the review said, full of surprises. I am so happy they didn’t actually go down the “Mike becomes a bad guy for a while” plot road that it seemed like they were headed for.

I have mixed feelings about Mulaney right now that can basically be summed up by saying that I feel bad for his ex-wife. Nonetheless, I appreciate his laying out this timeline of his struggles. It’s not information that we’re really entitled to, but he’s a public figure and we wonder, so it’s nice to have most of…

And why did he lie about his address? Maybe there will be a payoff before it’s all over, but right now it looks like a plot hole.

With you a thousand percent. Craig Robinson is a charming actor but Doug Judy is an awful character and I hate that his long arc ended with Jake letting him get away with everything.

I’m bleeding from my face, shins, and testicles just from having watched that.

Thanks for mentioning the thing about Luke on the SJA. It led me to “Farewell Sarah Jane” on YouTube, which I had never seen.

Amy should be proud; Mac is way ahead of the curve on that one.

“A product we believe in so much we refuse to sell it in stores.”

My head canon is that through the vagueries of airline ticketing Quinn was seated far enough away from everyone else that they didn’t notice he was missing until mid- or post-flight.

Well said. While I liked Armond and hated Shane, and I acknowledge that Shane stalking around his room with a knife rather than fleeing was some macho bullshit, in the end Armond’s death was a tragic accident that had a lot more to do with Armond committing a coked up B&E than Shane being a privileged white guy.

All stray observations:

Well done.

I don’t understand the issue with the bedroom locking from the inside; apart from actual jail cells, most rooms with locks lock from the inside for the security and privacy of whoever is in the room. As for how, we saw the bar fall when Boyle smugly shut the door. Yeah, that would be pretty unlikely to happen in real…

I have only shopped at Aldi a couple of times, but I have gone to Lidl more often and I think it works basically the same way. I like the no frills = lower costs + higher efficiency idea in theory, but in practice I haven’t noticed that prices are notably better on the stuff I buy or that the lines really move any…

While I really don’t have any idea who it will be, I don’t think Mike White is trying to trick us. Yes, Rachel seemed like the obvious candidate after that first scene, but it pretty quickly became clear that there was another plausible reason why she isn’t flying home with him and why he would be agitated about it.…

MOM brought that same question to Dan’s Sack Lunch event for two months in a row. I don’t understand being that obsessed with your child’s love life. Maybe he’s ace. Maybe he’s gay. Maybe he’s picky. Maybe he’s unlucky. Maybe he’s discrete. It doesn’t matter. It’s none of your business. Leave him the hell alone.

But if QT doesn’t owe his mom anything, how can not giving her a car or a house be seen as a punishment? He has also not given me a car; I don’t take it personally. Now if you’re argument is that the punishment is embarrassing his mom by complaining to the press about something she did when he was 12, then I can see…
