Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hope that's his honey in real life.

If she's in the show she hasn't been in more than one one episode. But I don't have anything against platonic boob grabbing. Been party to too much of it myself.

As long as that Jill chick is supposed to be a viable girlfriend I don't think I could call myself really entertained by the show. I think that whole subplot, including the returning juvenile not-yet-ex is extremely uninteresting.

Which is why I haven't set a season pass, I think, although I've caught every episode anyway. Just a way of pacifying something inside of me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't take his relationship with Jill or the return of the ex too seriously. I have so little investment in their relationship that I am okay with whatever happens.

He doesn't have the greatest chemistry with the actress who plays Jill, so maybe next season they'll get a new woman for him.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am glad they brought the young man with hemophelia and his girlfriend back twice, as I really like them! And Divya.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Funny -- I've just watched it for the first time! And was laughing when the brother said that some music was the best thing out of Albania since chrome -- shout out to Cheers!

I have an anti-investment in their relationship. I wish spontaneous combustion upon her person.

“Not dead yet!”

Huh.

Not sure what to think about this week. Lotta threads. And perhaps Matt went a little too heavy with the subtext this week. But as usual, I'm willing to wait it out because I trust it's part of his evil master plan.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And perhaps Matt went a little too heavy with the subtext this week.

I had very much this reaction. After last week, this ep felt almost too understated. I know there are pieces being moved into place, but I want to see the endgame!

I did not miss Roger's daughter's wedding date, however. Poor girl - that is going to suck.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What was the wedding date?

I thought this episode was fairly boring.

No shit. Jane's going to be the least of Margaret's problems. And it's a fairly evil way for Matt to address the elephant in the room.
