The perfect ending shot- Nathan’s butt crack.

To spend so little time in this review on the cultural and religious dynamics at work here is criminal, when that's the goddamn crux of the episode. No mention of the post-credits Israel conversation, or the Jewish tutor who's essentially a main character in the episode? You say you're asking "so many questions" and…

“I must concede that this comedy program has made me laugh.”

Great stuff as always, dude. Good Lord.

Such moments, whether scripted or not do get at one of the aspects of The Rehearsal I haven’t had a chance to dig into too much: This is a very funny show.

This. This. This. I gotta go back and read some of the critiques here about Joe Pera for I fear they probably took him very seriously.

Fake Angela yelling “You’ll never have something real!” (paraphrasing) at Nathan right before breaking character to run the ‘scene’ again was just! The whole fake fight scene was incredible.

not to be too literal... but for me, it feels kind of clear that the viewer is intended to mainly relate to Nathan as author/filmmaker, with the emotional draw being (as he described in this episode) the absurdity of modern life, as heightened and illuminated by paradoxical meta performances. even though that scene…

I’m getting the sense you don’t realize that the Nathan Fielder we see is a comic persona developed by Nathan Fielder the creative mastermind.

“Oh my God, you killed Karen”, and the Stevens boys still walk their respective planets. As ever, CogentComment, Alex and others have covered most of my reactions. I see some of you didn’t care whether Karen lived or died, but hers was one of the stories I wanted to see next season. I was looking forward to her being…

Thanks for providing great review instead of just the AV Club’s episode play-by-play.

A bunch of nitpicking:

Let’s start with the season as a whole: Meh.

I wanted to punch this episode in the face. I can’t figure who was more insulted by it, the viewers or the characters. The Mars rescue plot basically ripped off the Martian, the Ellen coming out story-line felt so cheesy and tacked on and then there was the whole plot to blow-up NASA, which bordered on the comical…

The bombing was well founded but it was horribly executed because they only showed the surface level of the collapse of the oil/gas industry. They actually needed to show it instead of talk about it for the bombing to make sense.

That ending was like Return of the King in its endlessness. And it ran through quite a few highs and lows, as well. Like “oh no, bomb and Karen’s dead but oh hey, Molly’s saving people and hope and stuff and, oh my, Margo’s been blown away, but Ed’s alive and walking towards us and, oh yeah, hey, your wife’s dead, but…

Whelp, as predicted we got our drama filled finale, and hey, I even got a couple of things right.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

With the very good reviews, we absolutely would have seen "Prey" if it had gotten a theatrical release and we are probably not alone.

Is this the Misery Olympics? First comment was literally just “My heart breaks for Anne Heche, but it also breaks for these people as well”, and everyone after seems to just be like “WELL ACKTUALLY LOSING A HOUSE ISN’T BAD COMPARED TO DYING, YOUR HEART IS WRONG”.

Read it again: the car plowed literally through the entire downstairs of the house, almost exiting to the other side... then caught fire INSIDE the house, a fire which took an hour to put out. Their house is totaled. And it’s California, so I guarantee you this is, at best, if the home can be repaired, a situation…
