She worked in small doses. Whenever she got used in a plot she got grating, but for quick office scenes she was great.

I was just about to comment this exact sentiment.

stupid sexy grinch

His tantrum along with Kimmy’s posturing were one of the best moments in the whole hour.

I think that’s a good approach honestly. Watch the first and last minute(50:20) and skip it.

(1) This is the third episode in a row that I felt Rebecca was a secondary character in her own sitcom. Not that I’m complaining about it.

She has sort of reached the end of her personal arc for this section of the show, which makes me think they’re getting the other characters in place for another time-skip.

Last week I said I was looking forward to both Nathaniel and Rebecca moving forward from last weeks episode, but honestly where Nathaniel was going seemed the more interesting of the two, and this episode didn’t let us down.

This show’s solid overall A from me is definitely softening a bit. Similar to Parks and Rec it’s started leaning so heavily into romcom stuff that it feel a bit much. I think CrazyExGirlfriend, a show built on romcoms as a genre spends less of its overall run-time on romance.

Especially because it’s using memory…

From what I can tell there’s some broad thematic strokes that vaguely align, they’re both deconstructing that romanticized obsessive love, but it aims to deconstruct it into somewhat watchable trash, whereas CEG always has aimed to be more productive.

They have plans, they have endgame. They’re all idiots doing it, and their goals aren’t as ambitious as world domination. They want to get re-elected, they want money, they’re racists who hate brown people and want to make it easier to avoid them where possible.

You don’t need to want to conquer the world for…

I wouldn’t consider myself well versed in romcoms outside of the tropes that emerge as serialized parts of sitcoms. But the way the show has handled Josh, Nathaniel, and Greg feels notable and rare. It does not appear they’re angling for some prolonged love triangle. It felt like either Nathaniel or Gregg could’ve…

The others felt like somewhat natural progressions of the arcs the characters are on, but yeah, reintroducing the Hector-Valencia conflict just to solve it was a little sappy. Some sappiness is to be expected though, because the show’s message is ultimately going to be a positive one, and as long as it can avoid Parks…

It does partly feel like a network thing. In the flashback episode they show him in an orgy, and there’s a dude there, but he’s cut out of most of the shots. But even then in the writing he’s bi when its convenient to establish it as a character trait but otherwise is straight.

Overall I did enjoy this series. This final episode really did help a lot.

But why the sugar-bowl was so important (if they knew how to synthesize it why not make more?), why it was there in the first place at that opera (and why in Esme’s sugar bowl since she’s such a twat?) Esme wanted the sugarbowl itself, and not…

The scene where Nico killed Jonah, between the cuts, music, reaction-shots, ramifications, all of it. Damn. That makes this a show worth recommending. Lyrica Okano is amazing.

It really felt like the Aliens in the ship didn’t die. This is my theory having just seen this episode and not watched ahead.

The way Jonah died you could see particles leaving him like the light inside controlling him died. And I think those motes of light that scattered to the wind are members of Jonahs race leaving…

I like so much about this show, the conflicts between the factions of adults work. The dramatic situations between the adults and the kids work. Hell, Chase is even hot enough that the romantic plot-lines work for me.

But dang I really hope they get better at action sequences. It feels like watching a turn-based combat…

He’s kind of terrible, so it’s in character for him to do something like that. He probably thinks it looks cool.

Uhhhhh it’s still going to go very slow, it’s the entire first season of them not running away. We’ll see if this season improves on it, but if the pace was your problem that doesn’t change.

They had translators back in early season 1. It’s not a total handwave since there’s technically an explanation, but why we don’t see those translators anymore is just a plothole not interesting or fun enough to cover.
