Once again, it strikes me how young the actor playing Coop's dad is. FAR too young to be his dad. Can't figure out why they cast him in that role.

Does Coop's sister Ally annoy anyone else? I find her almost revolting.

Back to Tori...There may be more going on than just saying f-u to the Ivies and the moneyed establishment. Noted last night: she showed up at tennis practice only to turn round and (likely) walk away for good; then Dad found her "rotting" in bed on a school day. Withdrawing from current activities, isolating, intensely dissing her Mom, no sign of a BFF let alone a girl crew.... Hmmmm. Now I'm interested.

Anyone else think Nick is the father of Barney’s wife baby?

No, just because they actually seem like a halfway happy couple who have each others back. I feel like they are the healthiest couple on the show.

I hope she falls flat on her face as she sneers at her family, at least until she realizes how enormously privileged and fortunate she is to have two parents who love her dearly.

I can't stand that kind of snotty sanctimony. If I were her parents, I'd say she doesn't have to go to Princeton, but she has to either go to another college or get a job. Immediately.

So she doesn't want to have a Princeton degree yet be aimless, divorced, incredibly materialistic, and have vapid friends? Sounds about right to me. Now she doesn't need to be that cruel to her mother, however. You can dislike her choices but she's still the one who always took care of you, not "fun dad."

I also wonder if she doesn't blame her mom for the divorce. Mom did cheat after all. Even if she was lonely in the marriage, Coop did not deserve her hooking up with a close friend. Teens don't tend to be forgiving in those scenarios.

+1 Too bad he's going to blow it.

Quite frankly, mom is not momming. Look how she conducts herself in public, she engages in aggressive physical fights and confrontations (which cost her her job) and is probably on her way to being an alcoholic. Tori’s delivery comes off bratty, but she is keeping it real and is a great judge of character, her Princeton interview monologue was 100% true. Tori is an independent thinker and pioneer, she wants to do it different. Good for her.

Yup, I thought the same about his dad so I looked it up. Michael O’Keefe is 71 and Jon Hamm is 55. So, technically, he could be his dad…

I agree, I thought he was an older brother at first.

A 16 yo dad? Meanwhile, Coop's mother actually looks old. The dad was a really poor casting decision.

I think Tori is awful. The way she knew she would be accepted by Princeton - I so wish she had instead been rejected.
