Yes, that topped my list, particularly because of course the actor playing Tomas was complete at sea trying to make that reference sound natural (I think he even made an awkward hand gesture.)  But I felt like it was throughout Monday's episode, lots of characters saying "indeed" etc.  Just dialogue that on the page might read as more clever than normal, but did not work.

I cringed when Tomas in reaction to Kat's virginity... Said that he admired her discipline or something like that. 

I mean... As if keeping virginity is some type of sport or a diet. Maybe for some people it is... But still... Sounded so uninspired and stupid.

Also. When you don't have experienced talent making the bad dialogue work... It always is more apparent. The curse for the bad dialogue writer is the bad actor.

-- Shanice is a combination of a little Shanice, a little Tiffany Haddish, and a little Ava from Abbott Elementary. I ain't mad about it.

-- For now, I don't want Shanice anywhere but at that nurses' station. She thrives there.

-- Dani and Bill kissed at the end, but my guess is this will all blow up in short order. Bill will want something, Dani will be pissed, anger will ensue, Bill will leave. Then Dani hits the bottle again.

-- Chelsea vs. Hayley was fun, but I could not get over that Mardi Gras coat Hayley wore. Girl will never have class.

-- Derek and Ashley have little chemistry, but Andre and Ashley have even less. I don't buy for a minute that there's some connection there. Ashley is soooooo basic they should rename her Basic Ashley. And how many times today did she tell Andre to stop being weird? Her conversations with him are pathetic.

I laughed out loud reading this. So true.

Ashley is Beyond Basic. I think she's so basic and vanilla that it makes me want to defend Derek. Derek is a stone, but there's still something sexual there. With Ashley, there isn't. I can't understand why she was cast.

YES!  I should have saved the episode to write down all the weird/awkward dialogue but I remember that one about the virginity too--I mean could you imagine someone you're dating saying that?  (Of course they'd never say it in my case, but )  There was another one in the bar/restaurant with the other characters that I'm trying to remember... 

Me to several of the opinions being displayed right now.

On what planet is Jacob hotter than Andre?

In my mind, Andre is the hotness of BTG.

Not seeing any connection.

 

I'm like "damn girl you thirsty".

The planet Earth that we live on.

I think Dani will have to hit absolute rock bottom first before realizing her true calling(be it modeling or a tv show host). Meaning we’ll have to sit thru this alcoholism storyline and her realizing once and for all she doesn’t need Bill (probably at the conclusion of this drinking story) before she can truly tackle a career path that’s right for her.

I had the same thought re Ava/Abbott watching the ep.

Plenty of time for Shanice to blossom-right now she's saving the hospital scenes.

Andre/Jacob -equally tasty.

Danni and a podcast-no thanks. Seeing her interviewing people or a monologue would not be interesting to me, no matter how juicy. She's been happily in the background for decades, so any move to express her independence would be fine. Maybe she would be all in on, say, a boutique and then realize it's too much like hard work and doesn't get her enough attention.

Not sure what would be a good fit.

Vanessa saying she has a team of thousands working for her is overkill, when we have yet to see an associate or an office.

Jacob/Naomi need a house and more family interaction.

Right now the meeting places are the Country Club, Orphey Gene's and that green nightime bar.

I get that Orphey's is a traditional venue that hasn't changed since the year dot and people love it for that,  but it does seem a little downmarket to be the go to  meeting place. Maybe something a little more upmarket but not quite Country club is needed as an option.

Sad, but true.

 

Still...I would love to see her do it. The potential is so there.

Well to be fair we know they have a bedroom so... 😜

The bedroom has a bathroom attached I guess,so Jacob solo coming out of the shower will suffice for now.

I do find myself rewriting eg when Kat had the fantasy scene, I think it would have flowed better had she received Tomas' message first and that would have spurred the fantasy(which should have been presented more clearly as  her imagining)
