The Mindy Project 2x15 "French Me, You Idiot"/2x16 "Indian BBW"

I'm horny for your kisses but lemme go give my bf this crappy eulogy first.
Finally! I'm actually getting a chance to write about new episodes of my favorite show on TV right now (so I guess it may be a little biased? sorry). I've fangirled out of control waiting for this show to come back, and just dreamed of the different things that could happen between Danny and Mindy after that steamy airplane kiss. I'm happy to say these episodes wildly exceeded my expectations.
Let's start with "French Me, You Idiot". By far, one of the best episodes of television I've seen in a long time; we pick up directly after the kiss. It turns out Mindy has the hots for Danny too, but Cliff is hanging out in front of her aprartment with a Mariachi band playing In Your Eyes . CLIFF DAMNIT. Glenn Howerton is fun and cute, but I will not miss Cliff; he was just an obstacle in the Danny/ Mindy relationship. How hilarious was the eulogy though? I wouldn't have expected Mindy to be that terrible of a writer. The whole "insert Cliff's grandma's name here" bit was real fun.
How dare you, Chris Messina.
But really, let's talk about the only thing we're actually thinking about. Danny and Mindy. Mindy actually said "I'm horny for your kisses" and "French Me, you idiot" like any sane woman talking to Chris Messina would say. Of course, Danny couldn't resist and they set a church on fire. But, you know, that was an honest mistake...not a sign from God...I refuse to believe that God doesn't want these two together.
Now onto "Indian BBW", also one of the best episodes of television I've seen in a long time.
Mindy wants to take it slow (because she looooves Danny...which was a welcome surprise to me!); this led us to a hilarious montage of Danny being rejected by about 25 different girls. All I have to say to them is, What the hell is wrong with you?! If you had called me, Danny, I would've come straight over. The sex tape thing was weird, but it makes sense that it's real purpose was to bring out the fact that Danny can be very judgmental, and now Peter knows about them...which is already hilarious and will only get better, I assume. As much as I like Bill Hader on SNL and stuff, I would not mind if he never reappeared on this show. I hope he's done. I would much rather see Josh come back, honestly; especially since he predicted Danny and Mindy as a couple in "Santa Fe".

I'm just gonna say it, Danny and Mindy are the cutest couple on TV and while I know things won't be smooth-sailing, this ship still pretty much sails itself. I applaud Jack Burditt and Jeremy Bronson for writing such perfect episodes and I honestly can't wait for what's to come.  

 Now I will thoroughly embarrass myself, but what can I say? Like all great poets, I was inspired.

An Ode to Danny Castellano
The way you look at Mindy makes me want to cry
I wish you could make out with me, I kinda want to die.
I can't believe you make you're own beer: Dr. Dan's Funky Ale,
I probably would never drink it, unless it's pale.
You're super Catholic and judgemental
But it's adorable that you're totally mental.
You read Bridget Jones to Mindy in a British Accent
You are seriously such a gent.
Much better than Mr. Darcy...I'm not kidding.
Your good looks and sweetness leave my heart aching.
I just wrote a poem for a fictional person;
What the hell is wrong with me?
