Yeah, perhaps Kaufman has some explanation he didn't bother presenting, but it sounds like typical pretentious "I'm going to try to sound profound by saying something paradoxical" nonsense.

The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. Everything else is pure theory.

Yeah, but if she can find an overzealous social work, the social worker can really make life hell.

Well, that would just draw more attention to them. This way, we can all just pretend not to see them. Although I suppose they could have does some sort of photoshopping.

That, and making eye contact with Russell apparently has a hypnotic effect that induces a overwhelming urge to give him your HII.

I found both sides' "Let's get rid of the biggest threat" poorly thought out. Why were they targeting LJ rather than Jefra? When has anyone gone on a immunity run? Yeah, I can see someone winning two or three in a row. Four is theoretically possible. But to survive post-merge based on challenges, you need at least…

At least how the edit was showing it, LJ had Trish securely on his side, and Tony was vacillating. If LJ had played his idol, Tony quite possibly would jump ship at the next vote to avoid rocks.

I can see where you're coming from, and as I was watching it, I was thinking that if I had been one of those guys, I'd have a bit of trepidation about it (especially given the lack of clothing, and what clothing there is not being very well secured), but then I thought that was a bit patronizing of me. Respecting…

So, the show is predicting that Russia still be around sixteen years from now?

All the crazy messed people in my life molded you into the perfect man for my mother?

And in that story, wasn't he telling Marshall (along with the rest of the gang) about TR?

So, are the only people Kevin dates people who a court forces to be with him?

They're letting people comment under the HIMYM reviews? This can't end well.

When Alicia first sees the huge room, she questions whether that many people will really be there to listen to her speech. Despite assurance that they will, they end up skipping out. Foreshadowing? Or is it saying something about Alicia's character? Wondering about such a large room, and getting flustered when people…

“What do you want, Alicia?”
"To see you head on a …"

It seems to be that in Red Team/Blue Team, the writers found that having the main characters on opposing sides was a good way to generate drama, and they found a way to put that in more episodes. It's like "Hey, why don't we do this every episode?"

Yeah, it was like that episode where Alicia got caught up in a fight about a former client who left her millions in his will. It would change the show too much to have her win.

The writers would likely come up with some final act twist that allows both sides to win.

I wonder whether the bear was inspired by the rogue Cookie Monster guy.

I think she was doing pretty well until she tried to get fancy on the chorus.
