What? I didn't know that. When during the episode was it supposed to happen?

Yes, unfortunately. But his interactions with Abbie are much more satisfying. To each his own, girl. (Wait. Are you are a girl?). But I agree with you about Ichy being selfish and occasionally toxic. Which is why I don't think he'd be great boyfriend material right now. But when I watch the show, the chemistry and connectedness between him and Abbie remains undeniable.

Don't get me started on the Emmys. They're supposed to reward the best performances of the year, but so often they reward the names they know (Dreyfus) or continue to reward shows that just aren't that good anymore (Modern Family). But yes, Tracee --and the entire show--deserve recognition. Tracee has always had great comedic timing. But on "Girlfriends," she and the actor who played William were the only ones who were really good at comedy. So when she was around her girlfriends, she was made to seem more goofy and scatterbrained than funny.

I don't ship Ichabbie. To clarify, I don't want to see them become a couple. But what I would love to see is a hot one-night stand that Abbie and Crane both regret the next day, and they spend the rest of the season trying to pretend it never happened. I'm talking awkward interactions at work, a scene with Abbie instinctively reaching over to wipe foam off Crane's mouth then pulling her hand back at the last minute, and Jenny chiming in with "What the hell is wrong with you two?" every now and then.

"A little diddy, about Jack and Diane." Maybe the show's creator is a John Cougar Mellencamp fan. In my imagination, Rainbow's parents were Northern California hippies from the 1970s. My guess is that Andre and Rainbow didn't want to give their children contemporary "black" names--meaning, names with -sha, La-, Qua-, Tra-, Tre-, etc. And no apostrophes or hyphens. I'm sure they both know the sociological studies showing the bias against black men and women with black-sounding names, and they didn't want to put these burdens on their children. Doesn't make it right (the racial bias, that is). And Andre is very proud of his name, but I'm sure he's had to overcome barriers in the workplace that stemmed solely from him having a black-sounding name. --I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I've worked in the school system, and I currently work in the medical field. And my black children have young friends with unique names. So when I hear names like Qua-Sim, Za'kir, Zy-nida, Shar-kesha, Na'Shan, Seanyqua, and Tyresha, I want to shake their mothers and ask them what the hell they were thinking when they burdened their kids with these made-up names that are hard to spell and hard to pronounce.

That would make for great entertainment--Crane trying to get a job. And I think Jenny always finds ways to make money. Although I'm sure her work is legal these days. That was certainly true of this episode. I think the overall show arc continues to be Moloch and the Apocalypse vs. the Two Witnesses. What has become problematic is that Henry has been placed at the center of this conflict. So the show's other characters--including Moloch and Headless--have all been reduced to reacting to what Henry does, what Henry wants, and what Henry plans. I don't think this was the show's original premise.

Yes, it would be nice, but I don't know many of the top men other than the Big Four. Raonic? Berdych? Dimitrov? Who dat? Is it that TV coverage doesn't tell us much about who these men are? Or it could be that when it comes to endorsements, I only see Federer, Nadal, Djoko, and Murray on national commercials? And Andy Roddick when he was still playing. And on the women's side, how did Simona Halep get to be #2? She was a finalist at the French and a Wimbledon semi-finalist. Is that enough? I guess don't understand WTA ranking.
