Ben: …I’m coming I’m coming I’m coming don’t move I’ll be right there.

Claire: Maybe now. Is a good time. To get to Maryland. If you really have that time machine. But maybe that’s what he wants…

Ben: I’m coming. Wait. Let me grab Paul and Mike.

Claire: …’Paul and Mike’.

Ben: Logan knows him. Paul doesn’t. Advantages. But I’m coming.

Claire: …thank you.

“Belgian Waffles”

…I wonder if that pops up anywhere else?

Is there an episode where everyone looks worse, on the balance? Please tell me now, so I can get my eyes over it.

Mike looks like a chicken (maybe this is why they gave him the S5 haircut)…

I have a visceral dislike of Claire’s hair like this. It’s too long for the flip; she needs a haircut; this is probably why they stuck to the straight bob afterwards.

Also someone please please please feed Jill. She’s frighteningly skinny here, poor thing.

Ben… probably looks vaguely decent most shots, all things considered. You can still see Michael is having it rough. (Although getting called “Casper” is hilarious.)

And further unhappily, I don’t think he could hear how he sounded, because that is a lot of Michigan he never threw in before — he spent decades trying not to talk like that.

So, yeah. Coincidence, everybody crowding together in bad aesthetics, or this was just a hard time to be filming the show. Sigh.

There was a shred of doubt in all this, because a lot of Magadan’s story prior wasn’t making perfect sense. But this…

there is no elle woods without claire kincaid.

“If you’re going to let one stupid prick ruin your life, you’re not the girl I thought you were.” — Excellent advice, thanks Professor Stromwell.

I mean, on the one hand, the one comes so easily he can turn it away, the other not so much.

Love is not a battlefield. Or a victory march. It’s… coffee. And forbidden fruit.

…grapes. (Some unidentified picture by James Del Grosso.)

…Which happen to come in green and purple.

Claire’s had this picture since last season and through her other law cubicle. Now is she really that much of a fruit and hyper-realism appreciator that she wants this thing that near to her every damn day?

Is Mike in her head that much? Maybe.

Mike: Every single time. We watch this… and then you make me go skating.

Claire: Ben would make you play hockey.

Mike: Uh, the moral of the story is hockey is easier than figure skating.

Claire: …That’s the moral.

Claire: Every time we go running in the park… or, I run and you… something.
