MaryMitch November 17, 2017 Share November 17, 2017 I really liked this episode. Christy doing REAL school work (and pushing back against bullying by her project partner), Bonnie making some extra cash by renting out that space (for someone who used to sell drugs, this was a positive direction!) and Natasha and Jill fighting then bonding. The guy who played the lab partner, Michael Angarano, plays Jack's son Elliot on Will and Grace. 10 Link to comment

I couldn't place where I had seen him. Good for Christie getting some of that millennial scruff! It was funny when his mother popped in in the morning, then when Bonnie also popped in at Christie's sleepover. 2 Link to comment
Blakeston November 17, 2017 Share November 17, 2017 I always liked that actor on Will & Grace, and I thought he was good in this. But it was kind of strange casting, because he clearly wasn't traditional college-age (ie, 21/22), and they made such a big deal about his youth. He didn't look much younger than her, IMO. (I was a little bit surprised when Christy said that she was 40. I think they've aged her up a little, to match Anna Faris's actual age.) I also thought it was a little bit odd that they just brushed off what a sexist asshole Cooper was early on - as though it was just a minor quirk or something. 2 Link to comment

I don't know, I thought Bonnie was the building manager and she was 'renting' this space without the consent of the owner. In other words, Bonnie's pocketing all of Natasha's rent. Of course, I could be wrong though! 5 Link to comment

Actually, since I believe she had Violet at 17, and Violet was 17 when the show began, that would indeed put Christy at 34 when Bonnie "got her back" (as she told Natasha. And would put Bonnie at 52 when the show began, since she was 18 when she had Christy). This is season 5, so if they have "aged her up", it's only by 2 years (hardly a big "age up"). Link to comment

I'm not saying it's a big age-up. But they were being consistent with her being born in 1979 - up until now. (I've only noticed because that's around when I was born.) Usually they go in the opposite direction, and make the character younger when she should be approaching 40. Edited November 17, 2017 by Blakeston Link to comment

Yeah and we just saw him reprise that role a few weeks ago on the reboot. It's nice to see him getting work. He sort of dropped out of sight for awhile, and I've always like him.

Of course, I could be wrong though! That was my impression too. In other words, the building owner doesn't know anyone is renting that apartment. Link to comment
