Jimmy's reaction was superb. He proposed to her once! That had to hurt.

Figures. But odd, she doesn't appear to be west of the 405.

The popcorn, Honeynutz's romance with Jacquelyn and his attempts to watch Peaky Blinders, Jimmy and forts…this show is a masterclass of continuity.

And it's a great callback to the Netflix queue hack at the start of the feud.

[Sadly] "Even him."

How did I miss this? Thank you for further illuminating me to the genius of this show.

Sam and co. are cool again at least.

You know that scene in Independence Day where Will Smith yells "No Jimmy! NOOOOO!" as Harry Connick Jr. dies?

I'm a season behind everyone and only just saw this now, and it was a bit filler beyond Jimmy's backstory (and oh man do I empathize with him, yikes), but what got me was the massive tragedy we were glimpsing into with Lily. Someone who wanted to enrich herself, with a great glimmer of hope, but couldn't escape. Jimmy

Sadly, he did not go full Gaius Baltar.

I don't care if it's been almost a decade, if I saw "Not Penny's Boat" listed as a band playing a show, I'd want to check them out just for the name.

Zod I love this show's dedication to being "real" to Los Angeles. Brite Spot, Ozydots, The New Beverly, Bigfoot, conversations about traffic, hipsters, everything. This is the most accurate show to Los Angeles life that I've seen. No cliches, no city stereotypes, just Los Angeles.

They were at Ozydots in Silver Lake. I haven't seen any "premium" costumes there, but I've seen something go for $200, IIRC.

My favorite bit was that they went to Ozydots in Silver Lake. I go there for costume stuff. And the diner they always eat at is Brite Spot in Echo Park, and it's great. And one spot they drank at last season was Bigfoot in Atwater. The fact that they use real places in L.A. makes me so happy. It feels so real.

Edgar finally got a moment of happiness. I cheered.

Fair. But…your username. Bless you, Phantom Phreak. HACK THE PLANET!

Watching the show just now (a year/season behind everyone else), I was ready to believe it was a real UK sitcom until Jimmy mentioned the "hiding out as a women's shoe salesman" bit. That would be the plot of a season 3 episode of the show described prior to that bit. But not a series-long premise.

I'm making my way through season 2 now (I'm late on this, I know), but that was perhaps her best line. I'm not a theater kid, but I lived with them throughout college and we bonded over being geeks who got bullied often. That "well, this sucks but it's kind of familiar" passiveness rang true.

Oh shoot, you're right.

It really is a great idea.
