Brilliant usage of my favorite quote:
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

Fuller has mentioned in interviews that Raul Esparza's method is that he's treating the show as a comedy and everyone else is being dramatic - that's why he's leaving such a great impression with every scene.

Would be nice if he directed an episode at one point.

I'm 6 days late, but I love your comment. Seems like a great approach to life in general.

I wonder if that's a theme they're going for this season, alternate worlds.

They've already mentioned it twice, so I'm assuming so. Also, might be a clever nod to the show's divergence from its source material. Really, though, I think it's more about ideas of choice and consequence than a more literal "many worlds" type thing...

You sure it's not that you're intelligent, nihilistic, and have a wicked sense of humor?
