August 12, 2013 Better Off Ted S02E09: The Long and Winding High Road
I don’t feel like we learned anything about the characters this week that we didn’t already know. We might not have ever heard Ted talk about taking the high road, but he’s certainly demonstrated his desire to do that time and again. Linda being “bad”? Didn’t really feel like a departure for her.

July 15, 2013 Better Off Ted S02E05: The Great Repression
Netflix’s episode description for this week is “Oddball Sheila falsely accuses Ted and Linda of sexual harassment. Veronica convinces Veridian to classify sexual harassment as a disease.” I don’t know if I would have ever come up with that descriptor for Sheila myself, but it fits perfectly. I personally think she wasn’t as odd in […]
