So, the Danno thing? I will be in a league of my own there, but I thought it was more than fair game. He was teasing her, she got to slam back.

I tend not to see the ~flirting, or at least I don't see it that way. I choose not to see it that way, and maybe it makes me delusional or something, but you know what? Better that than to be bitter and annoyed every time she is on screen. I'm not her biggest fan, and I get and understand many of the reasons why people don't like her. But I choose to ignore her more than anything else. That's my shtick, and it works for me. You may not agree.

Danny, Danny, Danny. I agree with his views on beliefs, but I also agree with the others, you don't disrespect something sacred like that. It made you sound a bit like an ass, to be honest, and it was...weird.

Also, you could have turned your daughter away from the drunk at the beginning. You don't have to fight for everything, babe. Oooh, fodder for fic here.

The whole ~manipulating the landlord felt very Italian to me, which felt very in character. My Gran is like that, she'll try to get a discount for everything, she used to choose slightly banged up boxes of cereals to have prices on them in the supermarket when I was little. So, Italian, so, idk, since Danny has Italian roots in my headcanon, it felt right. If you thought it was douchey, take it up with my Gran.

Again, I found Kono SO PRETTY in this episode, and that might be because I missed her so much at the beginning of the season, I don't know, but those last two episodes she looked just gorgeous. The whole thing with the priest was heeeee, and I like the fact that she has bonded with Lori.

Also, headcanon, Lori and Max totally went to that costume party together. And she was dressed as Trinity.

The end of that episode, I just. Danny, wearing Converses! And jeans! Steve wearing this most delightful almost see through yellow shirt! And flip flops! Looking all smug and impatient and eyefucking when they're done installing the bed! Kono's little 'ooooooh' when Danny says he might buy a steak knife! Steve only costs Danny a beer! He's such a cheap date. Chin's put upon look! Lori not even protesting about the painting! Steve running after Danny! Heeeeee! That last scene was absolutely perfect. I could have a show of this, I'll be honest ;).

Now, you guys, write me all the codas where Danny comments on Steve's shirt and takes it off, and the two of them sneak off to storage to christen that big big mattress.

Also, you know, when Joe isn't there? I ENJOY. His absence makes me happy.

At first when you said the whole landlord thing felt very Italian, I thought "What the hell?" Then you explained it and I was like "Oh God, that's so true." It made me realise a lot of the things Danny does feel Italian somehow: being an overprotective dad, chasing skirts and making obvious comments about attractive women, being a little racist because home is the best place ever and nothing will ever top it, not even a tropical paradise like Hawaii. I guess that's the reason why I don't understand people getting so irritated, or downright pissed off, with him: because the way he acts looks perfectly normal and in character to me.

True, I'm the same. I'm not from Italy as such, but I've grown up in the Italian immigrants family unit, and to me, it feels quite natural, the way he acts. I've seen people getting aggravated with how much of an overprotective dad he is - he's never said anything I couldn't imagine my own father saying. Same with a lot of other little things - I think it's just the way he was raised.

Exactly! Sometimes when I read certain comments I'm tempted to reply "You obviously don't know any Italian fathers, do you?"
