It took me way too long to get this West Wing reference. Nicely done! I liked the flashback episode, but one (nitpicky) thing irritated me. They've mentioned repeatedly that Tim went bald really early - before he met Heather in college. For him to have that much hair that recently doesn't make any sense...unless I missed a reference to him wearing a wig.

It's been obvious for way, way too long that Adam's drinking is going to come between him and Bonnie. We get where this is going, please hurry it up.

It's not that Alison is the only one who's cheated, it's that she's cheated so many times. She and Noah get more criticism here about their sexual decisions than Helen or Cole because their "can't resist inappropriate sex" moments happen over and over and over again.

Another reason it's completely ridiculous for Juliette to want Noah to tie her up - she believes he's a murderer. And she knows very little else about him (aside from believing that someone is out to kill him.)

I think it's because Alison is constantly shown cheating, and otherwise sleeping with men she shouldn't - and how often she ends up having sex with a man the second there's any kind of closeness between them.

I watched this on Netflix on a whim, and was pretty much blown away by how funny and charming it is. It's like a cross between Broad City and Shameless.

I'm saying Gunther knew that Noah was in jail for killing a man with his car - that he wasn't completely clueless about what the charges were.

He said, "What are you in for?", but then in the same conversation, he said something about how a rich person almost never goes to jail just for a hit and run. So he must have known what the crime was.

I thought Gunther was saying, "What were the actual circumstances that put you in here?" He seemed to know that Noah was in there for a hit-and-run. He just didn't buy that a rich person would wind up with a significant prison sentence if there was nothing more to it than that. (If that's what he was going for, it was definitely confusing writing, though.) Regarding the car accident - didn't Noah "see" a woman driving the vehicle that supposedly rammed him, when he was looking in his rear-view mirror?

IIRC, after Petra impregnated herself, she revealed what had happened to Rafael and Jane. And she laid out her options, one of which was, "I could have an abortion."

Cole decided to let Joanie see Alison, but from what we saw, he was overriding Luisa's wishes by doing so. It seems like Luisa thinks that even the supervised visits are a step too far. And sorry, Luisa, but cutting Joanie off from her mother entirely isn't the answer. If you think Alison's a danger to her, then insist that the visits remain supervised. If you think it's bad for Joanie's mental health just to be around Alison, think about how bad it will be for her mental health if she believes that her mother permanently abandoned her.

Oh, you were talking about Lilith! You wrote Bebe.

My understanding is that it's brutally difficult to find toddlers who are bearable to work with. If they can find one, they're unlikely to care whether the eye color matches the baby who played the character earlier.

The Addams Family movie came out several years before Frasier started. They cast her in the sequel, though - but not as Morticia, obviously.

I don't see Alison as being guilty of killing Scotty. But her failure to speak up about what happened resulted in an innocent man going to prison.

I'll always love the original film best. It's more subversive than any of the musical versions, and less bubble gum. (And there's nothing wrong with liking bubble gum, but I'll take Divine over Arianna Grande any day.) I hate that the musical didn't make use of the funniest scene in the original film - Penny's mother venturing into the black neighborhood.

This made me laugh way, way too hard. I liked the meditation and masturbation sketches from the most recent episode. When Clementine showed up in a bikini in the Survivor audition tape for seemingly no reason, my reaction was, "Did the network executives demand that she be included in this scene purely for the T&A factor?" But once Jeff Probst said that they knew who they had to cast, there was no question where it was headed.

I wasn't as crazy about Derek Hough as a lot of other viewers were. Obviously he's a great dancer, and he can certainly sing, but I thought he brought no charm to the role. He and Link seemed like father-and-son Ken dolls. Speaking of Link, I knew nothing about Garrett Clayton going into this. And even without realizing that he just played a gay porn star, or being aware of the rumors about his sexuality, I found it completely impossible to believe him as a heterosexual. Every single thing about him set off my gaydar Arianna Grande has talent, but I don't think she was the right choice for Penny. She didn't have the comedy chops to have fun with her character's s****** nerdiness. And her diction just stinks. I liked all of the other casting choices, though.

I assumed the "alluring prospect" for Noah was having sex with Juliette. Speaking of Juliette, is it just me, or does her husband look a lot like Mark Margolis (ie, Hector Salamanca from Breaking Bad), who played Noah's father?

I said "you've got to be fucking kidding me" to my computer screen twice - once when French Stereotype Lady started dialing the pink telephone while reading Noah's book, and the second when the student said her real problem with Noah is that she just wants to have sex with him sooo badly. This is all a parody of The Affair written by a jealous rival of Sarah Treem's, right?

Not necessarily. My ex could easily drink six beers and not act the slightest bit different than usual. He was a heavy drinker, of course - but so is Adam. It would be one thing for Christy to ask Adam not to drink in front of Roscoe, but yelling at him like he was a toddler (when she'd never even asked him not to do it), and telling him not to "sass" her, was completely out of line. I think one of the things that irritated me about the writing of this episode was that Christy seemed to handle it like a reasonable person in the episode in which it happened. I get why it would push all of her buttons, but on some level she'd have to know that hysterical helicopter parenting can often make a kid Roscoe's age want to rebel. And I found it unbearable to watch.

I flat-out hated this episode (the one with Christy going Mommie Dearest on Roscoe). Christy is usually a somewhat rational character, but occasionally the writers like to send her completely off the deep end to the point where she's barely recognizable. She was so over-the-top in this episode it was ridiculous.

I really didn't care for this episode. "Oh my god, I said you needed surgery for a seemingly minor problem, and you got a second opinion? How dare you!" Jen should have told them to go straight to hell. And if I were Matt, I'd never speak to my mother again after the spider nonsense.

I don't think Cameron knows nearly as much about farm life as he pretends to. He loves wearing overalls and playing up the farm boy thing, but his sister once called him out on not being "farm strong." And his attempt to drive a tractor was disastrous. Any attempt he made to butcher a large animal would probably be ugly as sin.

I took the samba line as a joke about how lazy and inaccurate the kids' show was.
