Stanton's back. But he's a total grumpers.

Let's talk about it.

Hm. This episode was a bit flat for me, like yeah I don't mind that the cases are a bit nothingy this year but nothing seemed to happen outside that. And they got someone off for being attracted to a lady. I know he wasn't guilty and didn't do anything wrong, but all the deep breathing and the whole she was so hot that men can't be to blame for themselves blah. (Although Peter really really judging Jared in court for liking a WOMAN was kind of awesome.)

I would have been way more forgiving if it wasn't the mike tyson episode, I hate mike tyson, I hate that they had him on their show and were all fanboy-ey over him, and I'm just going to ignore that as best I can.

Also Dan was kind of skeevy this episode, I love his weirdness but this episode it was nearly all directed at being creepy to women? Sort of.

I guess whatever episode followed last week was going to struggle to win my heart. And obviously there were still MANY THINGS I LOVED, such as MPG being the most beautiful attractive thing in the universe ever still oh my god. BUT WHAT IS WITH THEM SUDDENLY HAVING ROOMS AGAIN. Stanton said he had to stay for a while. I demand they keep sharing rooms. Unless the reason they've let Dan move in was because they've realised they only need the one room now because room sharing is awesome. And like they've been really convincing themselves that it's a favour to Dan, it's only the right thing to do, he needs somewhere to live even if it means they have to keep sharing a bed, fine.

I love Swatello. I love her in every direction at once. I love the way Peter talks to people Jared loves. I love the way Peter talks to anyone and everyone. He's scared of fish.

I love that they were shooting at the nipple painting. I love Jared's face telling stanton that buffalo wings are chicken, even though it is followed by the single worst continuity shot ever. I love them telling each other they're adorable and the casual shooting was SO ADORABLE. Their board meeting was amazing, and they have so many more women since all their top partners left which is nice.

This is one of those episodes where they really want to think that they're a dudebro show and these types of episodes never really work out.

They think the show is one thing, it's actually another thing, and it could be an even better thing. Like if the show actually realized what it was then they could really push the idea of a rag tag law firm full of people that no other law firm usually wants, which would mean lots of ladies and people who aren't white and different sexualities and lots of outside of the box thinking, and they just can't seem to admit that that's what their show should be. :P

like they've been really convincing themselves that it's a favour to Dan, it's only the right thing to do, he needs somewhere to live even if it means they have to keep sharing a bed, fine.

This is so what's happening yes.

Jared's face was lovely when that happened. I do like how Peter's judginess is (beyond that it's Jared and a woman) about how kind of unprofessional it is for Jared to be going after Ellen when they work together, like he helps Ellen out with the time for her sexual harassment log and tsks about how Jared almost screwed over the firm and I wonder if it's because he remembers getting fired for banging the daughter of the partner of the first law firm that he was at and is like 'dude, we've been through this before, only bad things come from work dalliances' or something.

OMG, that was totally my main take on that entire scene - Peter understanding people getting knocked on their ass by love, but judging Jared acting like a doofus over a woman instead of him. Like Jared doesn't spend the rest of his life letting Peter make him do stupid shit!
