Gattaca, man, come on.
Gattaca, man, come on.
Ray Holt badly pretending to be straight should not be as funny as it is.
I might be in the minority, but Jerry’s little monologue about the first time he kissed Beth while they sat on the floor of the motel was weirdly sweet. Chris Parnell sold the hell out of it in a way that left it impactful even after Beth responded with typical Sanchez-bluntness.
Now THAT I’d get a kick out of.
Anyone else feel this was a little anti-climactic for a finale? I guess it’s hard to top last season’s sham-wedding-turned-mass-galactic-police-raid.
I cried. Not in a pretty way. This goddamn beautiful, weird, painful show.
Timothy Simons. So snarky, so smart. Very funny to watch people get whiplash that this intensely likable guy shows up on their TV as Jonah Ryan.
Also speaking of Dan Harmon, it’s been a week for a weird amount of Stone Cold Steve Austin references.
“Take things for granite.”
Of course, you gotta block those Sanchez brainwaves with something Jerry-esque.
Also, for some reason I kept thinking about that Rick line from a few weeks ago - “she was Rick’s daughter, she had OPTIONS.” - she still does, it seems...
Actually, feminism helps avoid the female character binary of “Badass assassin lady who kicks stuff and never cries” and “hot girlfriend or wife who nags their fat husband and doesn’t let them have any fun”. Portraying a woman as multi-faceted - say, being a snarky alcoholic but also desperately wanting to connect…
Personally, I’m kind of rooting for Real Beth to start raising hell across the universe and get a galactic reputation for being as fucking nuts and destructive as her father.
I lost it at the scene where Rick started listing off all the insane toys he made Beth as a kid - a sentient tazer, mind control hair clips, etc. This episode also weirdly made me want to call my dad.
Sometimes your dad’s cool bi business partner smirking that “she seems cool.” is all the support you need.
I think that’s one of the reasons he’s connecting so deeply with Haley - she’s creative and rebellious (and LGBT) like him, and I think he almost sees mentoring her as a way to have a do-over for Ryan and all the mistakes he’s made. Not to mention his comment to Cameron a couple episodes back that he was starting to…
Joe remembering his own experiences and looking out for a young queer person is such a lovely, low-key moment of LGBT solidarity I hope to see more of on TV every day.
What’s that Morty line? “Like father, like goddamn daughter!”
I think that’s why Sunny has lasted as long as it has, because while the five of them are horrible, they never benefit from their horribleness or come out on top, so it comes off funny. If Dennis was successfully trapping women in his basement or whatever, it would be a HORRIFYING show.
Maybe it’s because I’m a girl but I think Beth Smith (or is it Sanchez again?) is so fascinating in that she’s got all of her father’s worst qualities - the drinking, the lack of parental instincts, the irrational attachments - and the toxic, sexist part of the fanbase seems to recognize those as flaws in her, but not…
