I'M SO RELIEVED THIS SHOW IS MORE THAN THE MISOGYNIST SLOG SONIA WAS PREPARED FOR IT TO BE BASED ON THE PILOT. (THIS IS MY WAY OF SAYING "I TOLD YOU SO," ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE I DIDN'T ACTUALLY TELL YOU SO)

I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT I KNOW WHAT CAPS LOCK IS.

IF MEANING IS ALWAYS PLURAL, WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR A DIRECTOR TO CONSTRUCT A FILM THAT PREVENTS A MISOGYNIST INTERPRETATION? NO MATTER WHAT THE FILM-MAKERS DO, SOME VIEWERS ARE GOING TO SEE THE FILM AS CONFIRMING THEIR BELIEF THAT MEN ARE THE VICTIMS OF WOMEN, AND SOME VIEWERS ARE GOING TO SEE IT…

BUT WHAT IF I LOVED EACH AND EVERY TIME SHE SAID "I HAVE KIDS AND I LOVE JESUS"?

THIS COMMENT HAS ME PRETTY MUCH CONVINCED THAT YOU'RE A NETWORK EXECUTIVE.

HOW CAN YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE PEOPLE WHEN THE PHYSICS ARE WRONG? OR THE POLITICS?

BUT YOU'RE SO CLOSE BY.

SCIENCE NERDS CAN'T TELL STORIES FOR SHIT.

WHEN I TRY TO TELL TELEMARKETERS MY STORIES, THEY HANG UP.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY IS COMPENSATING FOR SOMETHING.

JOSH GROBAN AND TIM ALLEN?

ALSO, I'M A LITTLE DOUBTFUL THAT YOU HAVE A CLEAR SENSE OF WHAT KIND OF COMMENTS I TEN TO MAKE. WHEN YOU'RE COMMITTED TO TYPING IN ALL CAPS, ANYTHING LONGER THAN ONE SENTENCE TRANSLATES INTO AN UNREADABLE BLOCK OF TEXT. YOU MAY HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH SOME OTHER MOTHERFUCKER.

WELL, LINDELINE, YOU'RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION. IT SEEMS TO ME, HOWEVER, THAT SOME DISCUSSIONS OF SEXISM ARE MORE INSIGHTFUL OR STIRRING OR DETAIL-ORIENTED THAN OTHERS. AND I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE TO SAY "THAT ARGUMENT SEEMS ROTE" OR "THAT POINT DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS BEING SUPPORTED BY WHAT WAS PRESENTED ONSCREEN"…

MAKE IT THE BALLS AND IT'S A DATE!!

BAD SIT-COM RECAPPER.

I SAW IT ON THE INTERNET, SO I BELIEVE IT.

COULD HAVE SWORN THAT WAS "SPONGY MCWIPEY." NOT "SPONGE-Y MAKE WIPE-Y." THAT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

MY HOPE IS THAT SHE'LL EVOLVE INTO A CRITIC WHO'S COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH HERSELF TO BRING THE WACKY. AND I'M WILLING TO BE PATIENT WITH HER UNTIL THAT COMFORT AND WACKINESS MANIFEST THEMSELVES.

WELL, SONIA TENDS TO GO FOR THE LOW-HANGING GENDER/RACIAL THEMATIC FRUIT, SO HER WORK STRIKES ME AS A LITTLE MORE GENERIC THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. AND SHE ISN'T VERY DETAIL ORIENTED, AS WHEN SHE SAYS THAT THE BOOK CLUB DOESN'T KNOW EACH OTHER WELL ENOUGH TO BREAK INTO A SINGALONG OF BAD ROMANCE.

THEN I'D ASK YOU TO MARRY ME.
