Bring it back to the episode.

There's an old wives tale that all newborns look like their father so Dad will calm the hell down and feel more at ease. When our first was born I thought I was in summer camp, everything I heard was encouraging "OMG I wish I was that good at swaddling" "Great job!" "Wow, show me how you did that again" because my wife is a behavioral intervention mastermind. I don't even care that I was completely manipulated. Stephen's allegedly "violent outbursts" at Olga and her nitpicking everything he does with baby are basically an argument that most every pair of new parents has. Dad already feels like Mom's got him beat, so every criticism she gives feels like a major slight. Also, Stephen's been told what to do by people he can't converse with for a few days, so he's feeling some kind of way to begin with. Not ready to write him off as an abusive dick just yet.

At least he shares his shit sandwiches with 3 other people. Magnanimous.

She is also the best catch (smart, fit, beautiful, affectionate, well-spoken), and Jonathan doesn't seem to be very appreciative of that. She might have a bit of an anger issue, but I don't know that we would have seen it had he not been doing dumb shit like not having a bed ready for them to sleep in, leaving exes' underwear for her to find and touching blondes' hips in clubs. If all she wants is to be taken care of by a decent looking older man, there are plenty out there who would throw in a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T at no extra charge.

Jay also said "Not all white people are the same, some are good and some are bad" and he's in love with Ashley, so it's safe to assume he doesn't believe all white people are racist. That lunchtime conversation could have been the result of sloppy editing changing the tone of the conversation. Also, anyone who squees in delight at the sight of pickles can stay in the U.S. as far as I'm concerned.

Last night's episode thread is available here:

Implementing a day-after lock on this thread since really all conversation should be happening in the episode threads once everyone's seen the episodes. Live chat will unlock ahead of the next episode. (First looks should be discussed in couples' threads.)

You have to be a real dumbass to think pulling onto the shoulder of the I-15 is safer than a) telling Asuelu to put the baby back into the carseat while the car's moving or b) pulling off at the next exit to do it yourself. There's a reason why only disabled vehicles park on a freeway shoulder, and why a disabled car's occupants get out and move as far away from it as possible. If someone hits you doing 80 while you're stopped on the shoulder (seatbelts, carseats or not) you're all dead. Asuelu might not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but he was the second smartest person in that car (after Oliver.)

10 Likes for this post and we'll rename the thread "Kalani & Asuelu: Cheeto Dust and Slut People"

Alien Resurrection, Alvin & the Chipmunks, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Phantom of the Opera, Terminator Salvation, Short Circuit... Eric has the DVD collection of a serial killer.

Episode thread is open:

Eat some Cheetos, Kalani.

That biggie blackie car weighed too many kilometers.

98% of what I know about life and love I learned from The Princess Bride.

Colt has a surprise for Larissa; Jonathan and Fernanda continue their fight; Jay feels uncomfortable at Ashley's local market.; Kalani and Asuelu move to Utah; Leida questions coming to America; Olga has complications while in labor.

First looks welcome here, though you may have more fun if you save it to live-chat with everyone.

That sounds exactly what I'd like about those suites. I think I know what those mirrors are for. *I'm a little upset with you @funky-rat for giving me the mental image of Eric in one off those champagne bubble baths.

Certainly not unchallenged, but yes there are a lot of armchair diagnoses. I was curious as to whether he actually said he had post traumatic stress syndrome or not since I didn't recall him saying that. Eric was an avionics technician, so the odds he saw combat are slim... not that he couldn't have PTSD.

Why do we think Eric has PTSD? Did he say that?

Respectfully, that was a twin bed. Both of my kids have full beds, and they're more square (like a small queen.) When you lay on one, another person can lay next to you easily. Leida should have been happy to have a bed Eric couldn't fit in with her.

She wasn't really a mindless mess-- she was trying to play harmless so Nucky would get her out of the sanitarium. As far as I'm concerned, it's no coincidence that Tommy Darmody didn't kill Nucky until after he'd confirmed he would not "fix it"/help Gillian get out.

The King of Cameos.

I married my wife when she was 19; if she would've seen me grinding on a strange woman's ass in a nightclub she would've left/forgot my name while I was searching the club for her the next 3 hours. Jonathan sucks and he's bringing out the worst in someone with questionable self-control.

I'll accept that, BUT... they also have great pizza and Italian salads. And right next to By George Cheesesteak was a place that sold these amazing Whoopie Pies, and anyone who doesn't buy a Philly Whoopie Pie for a child Alessandro's age has no business being or becoming a father.

The kind that works on airplanes but tells everyone back home they're in sniper school.
