Danny mentions frequently about how Jeremy "charms his way through” many things, including the driver’s test.

Not only is there some great juxtaposition in this episode visually (the height difference between Danny/Jeremy on the elevator, Danny sweaty and Jeremy cool and collected), there is a heavy theme of envy that exists between the two. I guess that if we’re going to, y'know, over analyze, you could say that Danny’s insecurities come out in this episode. There really isn’t a lot of Danny and Mindy in this episode :( Three grand on a costume for one night? Josh, you creeper. JOSH SMOKES (QUITTER) CIGS AND DRINKS ENERGY DRINKS, I am trying very much to find everything wrong with this lame-o for all of the support I have found exists for him. Well, one, if we’re all being honest with ourselves. “Because I’m a pathetic spinster with no prospects!" Mindy says this and it’s hilarious because by the season finale, she has 4 prospects. Mindy finds herself having to dress to impress often for the men that she dates, to the point where she resembles “a fishing lure”(PIlot) or “ a Tyler Perry movie” (CCB). This is all very crazy, because of the fact that she wears the best clothes, but she is seen doing this pretty much with every guy (including Danny), probably because, as is revealed later, Mindy is insecure about guys getting bored with her and leaving her.Ĭould be trying too hard, but Josh mentions Jose Canseco in his cold open, (a baseball player who used steroids WHICH IS A DRUG) “You’re going to have to dress to impress” is basically the premise of this episode. (bedonkadonk and the bethinkathink)ĭanny says “whatnot" a lot, and Mindy says that things are "rude” and “hey, man” a lot. Men loving women for their personalities rather than physical attractiveness is mentioned in Frat Party and Take Me With You.

He is mentioned as being a part of the “Girl Team” in “In The Club” as well. Morgan as a confidant is used in Danny Castellano. Morgan as the hottest guy in the office is mentioned again in “Triathlon”. Is Danny really that old? This is mentioned again in “Hooking Up is Hard to Do” and “Harry and Mindy”, but Danny’s age (which is only 6-7 years Mindy’s senior) acts as an obstacle and as a point of insecurity. What different circumstances, though, am I right? It’s cool that the progress in the three times Mindy sees Tom is evident, (almost inverse to Tom’s downfall). I love that I can call this a parallel: Tom is bleeding on his face in this episode and “Frat Party”. "You’re sweating." Mentioned about a million times but mentioned in "In the Club”, “Mindy’s Minute”, “Santa Fe”, etc. “You’re really afraid I’m going to attack you, aren’t you?" Seriously, Mindy is hyper-paranoid! I mentioned this before but this pattern of distrust is mentioned in Mindy’s Brother, Hooking Up is Hard, In The Club, among many others. Pilot, Hiring/Firing, Danny Castellano, In the Club, Halloween, Bunk Bed, Thanksgiving, Two to One, Teen Patient, Josh & Mindy, Hooking Up, Mindy’s Brother, Harry and Mindy, Harry and Sally, Mindy’s Minute, The One That Got Away, Mindy’s Birthday, Danny’s Friend, Pretty Man, My Cool Christian Boyfriend, Santa Fe, Triathlon, Frat Party, Take Me With You. I am saying this all because I don’t remember what I rationalized for putting “In The Club” before “Danny Castellano” but as someone who is, y'know, overanalyzing TV, this is something worth taking note of.īy the way, the correct alignment (I think) is below the “Read More”, as is my recap for Halloween. So let’s giddyup! I love this, because I’ve always felt that what happens in “Danny Castellano” is a huge stepping stone for Danny and Mindy and reasonably makes sense coming before “In the Club”, when he asks her for a drink in a very noncommittal way. I had always known that there was some hocus-pocus with the airing, but the list that I found confirmed something I wanted confirmed for a long time: “Danny Castellano is My Gynecologist” was episode 1x03, while “In the Club” was 1x04 and “Halloween” was 1x05. While I was perusing I came across what is supposed to be the “correct” airing of the Mindy Project episodes. And there were a lot of car rides on this out of town time, which gave me a lot of time to go on Tumblr and see if anyone had made a “Midnight City” video yet read more about The Mindy Project, which I love. So I have been out of town all weekend enjoying my family and my perfect life where I get the most satisfaction talking to people about the Mindy Project. 17 notes The Mindy Project 1x04: Halloween
