Proving that maybe TV couples go stale even when the writers are desperately seeking to be raunchy.I find Mindy & Danny pretty boring since ep 2. I don't know if it's on purpose but they are holding back with Danny and Mindy in an obvious way. He was head over heels in love last year and now he's acting hesitant to do what most "all-in" couples do. It might be for a different reason than you but I don't get excited for kissy scenes either because they haven't been hitting the mark. I'm convinced that someone decided to have them stop making out and only kiss foreheads :) I almost miss when they weren't together because I wasn't distracted by wanting more lovey scenes. I could focus on the comedy with no other expectations. Now that they are together, I want to see certain things explored and there's no time or effort. It makes the finale from last year look like a gimmick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-1590467074784151242014-10-03T10:28:53.892-04:002014-10-03T10:28:53.892-04:00I see what you mean. Like when Danny says "yo...I see what you mean. Like when Danny says "you are my best friend. i need to have you in my life" in Be Cool. Danny is telling Mindy what he thinks of her and why. For me, I wish we could have seen a lot of the firsts but I guess for now it's just the different crazy stuff that couples go through instead of having a specific aim towards something. Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen wrote "Be Cool" so hopefully they will solve your doubts.

I totally see your point.
I ...I love these points! I totally see your point.<br /><br />I guess for me it boils down to the question of "what did the writers intend? What did Chris Messina intend?" IS it a grand statement of characterization or is it comedy for the sake of comedy? When I look at an episode like this with the scenes it has versus the fire escape scene (and, by extension, the stripping scene) I have to say the latter, because I've seen these writers really hone into the nitty-gritty of these characters' lives. They are capable of putting in the subtle undercurrent, and the most I saw of that in this episode was the way Danny looked at Mindy when he said "and you." <br /><br />I think I also just kind of miss... I miss these two teaming up together. Not fighting, but working towards a common goal where they both have a reason to deeply appreciate each other. Does that make sense? A lot of this is just personal gut feeling, but in this episode we're more often given "Danny appreciates Mindy" than "Danny appreciates Mindy BECAUSE," and I want to see that side more.Annhttp://overanalyzingtelevision.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-35101933553033489112014-10-02T18:51:40.553-04:002014-10-02T18:51:40.553-04:00Danny has always been the person to not understand...Danny has always been the person to not understand his actions. Season 1 and 2, he would do stuff for Mindy and not admit/realize he was in love with her. Here he wants Mindy around all the time. The last time he had woman's stuff all around was probably with Christina. So once she keep more stuff at his place, he'll realize that all he really wants is for her to move in with him. But that's just my theory but the point is Danny is oblivious to a lot of things and even his own actions. Danny, if you want Mindy over all the time let her keep stuff at your place you dumb dumb. 2/2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-80751923581965888092014-10-02T18:51:03.158-04:002014-10-02T18:51:03.158-04:00I thought Danny was the sweetest in this episode. ...I thought Danny was the sweetest in this episode. He is obsessed with Mindy in a good way. <br />1) He called her sweetheart and babe which I think are the only nicknames he can pull off. (the Baby Daddy's here I think is the writers messing with Messina but I loved Mindy's face like "wtf did you just say?"<br />2) He wants to be around her all the time. He wants her to stay over and be in his apartment. He just doesn't realize that having Mindy around would mean she needs her stuff too. I feel like this is GUYS ARE OBLIVIOUS 101. "there is no place for Mindy's brush. What to do? I know! I'll give it back to her. but Mindy won't be able to stay over as often because her stuff is at her place. I know! I'll give you a suitcare" Danny you dumb dumb. <br />3) He gets excited about her. "I just got a shout out." [she is talking about me!]<br />4) He got mad when Mindy said they were broken up. "why did you do that?!" [but don't tell people we broke up. i want you.]<br />5) He wanted her to join him watch JAG and fold socks. "Get in here JAG is in a bit of a pickle" [come! i want to share this with you!]<br />6) When he looks at Mindy after Cliff said Danny cheated [what?! i wouldn't do that!] Also "we're not broken up" to Morgan was almost a declaration [we are together. she is still my woman. back off]<br />7) Danny is very attracted to Mindy. He wants her to do some role playing because it's her. He admits he looks at her tush when she works out. Love is important but it's nice to let your partner know that they turn you on regardless of body type or whatever. <br />8) Mindy says she is going to the gym. "I'll come with you!" [you're going to the gym? i like going to the gym. i'll go too! with you!]<br />9)The "You deserve it" I took it as "you are going through tax problems, dealing with an ex-boyfriend. you got a lot on your plate. let me make you dinner." since when is a man wanting to make his girlfriend dinner not a sweet gesture all of a sudden? OR the "you deserve it because you're awesome"<br />10) him pulling her onto his lap and kissing her cheek. it's cute. be worried when he doesn't do things like that. <br />11) "you know you can borrow my boxing trunks"<br />12) one thing I haven't seen mentioned in any blog is the fact that Danny finalized the divorce FOR MINDY!!! who knows why he hadn't done it already if it was for religious reasons or something he basically ignored and avoided. whatever. But the second Mindy found out, it was his push to get it finalized. <br />13) Danny knows Cliff is a divorce lawyer but throws his cousin in as if to say "i don't care who you are. i am capable and fixing this myself" Cliff offers with the price of a Yankee Chair since Danny is a yankee fan he knows it would hurt him. Danny does it! He gives up a valuable possession for his other valuable possession, Mindy! <br />14) Cliff pointing out "there is no sign of her" was sort of a wake-up call for Danny who realizes what it really means when Mindy leaves her stuff at his place. Her presence doesn't only rely on Mindy but also her things around his place. <br />15) "wanna stay over tonight? you can eat all the chocolate casings off all my ice cream bars" [i want her to stay. what can i do to get her to stay]<br />16) "My work, faith and you"<br />17) He gets Mindy a pink nightstand that doesn't match anything else in his place. When she mentioned the closet, he refused but Mindy was like "yeah right." I'm sure in time she will have closet space. <br />1/2<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
