Suzanne: What happened to your arm? Forrest: Oh, I got shot with a couple of arrows. Suzanne: Sure.

I was expecting Suzanne would somehow end up with the handsome Shortstopman but the show manipulating Forrest into getting them to move in together was great. The best part is that it's completely his fault. He could have catfished someone else than his ex-wife, he could have gone to some charity or whatever for the Make-A-Wish thing. It's like he believes that, because the show made him divorce her, if he just makes enough of the reviews about his family they'll eventually end up back together.

JT Jag posted:No he couldn't have. It wouldn't have been an authentic review of a life experience if it was tainted by false pretense. He has to maintain kayfabe. Yeah, I meant he could have told her afterwards but I know this show isn't meant to be a happy or optimistic one. Was it ever shown that she knew about his job as a life reviewer? I'm really happy he didn't go through with the foster care kid idea, but it's a shame they showed Forrest getting shot in the shoulder before this episode.

I wonder how well rated this show is in the show. How does Suzanne not know that any of the stuff that happened in the show was for the show?

I don't think that knowing that Forrest divorced her for a review would make her feel any better about the situation. And if you think that they film a whole season before airing, it makes sense how she wouldn't know about Forrest catfishing her.

I really like how they present Forrest's dad; he's a really decent person and his son just keeps putting him through trauma after trauma, but he still loves and cares about him.

The thing to keep in mind though is that everything we see in the show is what Forrest wants us to see. So there may well have been more discussions between the two about his job. Andy Daly also said in an interview that they tried to but ultimately decided against a "what's it like to fake your own death?" segment because it would force them to address how famous Forrest is. So far the only person we've seen who recognized him was Mrs. Greenfield's student. But again, including him in the segment was Forrest's decision.

This version still handles all this better than the original Australian Review. Myles Barlow's actions in the real world were completely detached from his ability to do reviews. He can, and does, end up on the run for a crime and does his review without the slightest worry that the show will tip the police off. Also, the camera in that version is kind of magical, no one ever acknowledges it and some situations are recorded that would have raised at least some eyebrows.

I love how Forrest doesn't even consider using one of the vetos in order to get out of possibly murdering his son.

Even so, he didn't even bring up vetos or how he should have vetoed the it. Which honestly fits well with what we know about Forrest and how he doesn't give a poo poo about anyone other than himself.

He's gonna blow the vetos on utterly silly, pointless things (like trying to eat something he thinks might be kinda gross) and end up out of vetos and given a review of Murder or something.

Zsinjeh posted:Me trying to apply logic to a pretty absurd show is probably dumb, but I get the feeling he can only veto before he accepts. And he clearly accepted blindly with no idea what the legend of William Tell is. This is what I think too. I've heard the story but never the name and as soon as he blindly accepted I knew a "William Tell" was a bad thing.

At first I wondered why he gave William Tell two stars, considering he got two arrows in the chest and a lawsuit from his assistant. The thing about Review is that it can always get worse. This seemed more suitable for a season finale than an episode halfway through the season. I don't know how it can get better and more dark than that.

Yeah I agree that maybe he can't veto once accepted, but also he never said he wished he could have, or talked to producer grant to find out he can't veto. Also any rational human would just walk out of the situation. Nobody has a gun to his head. Forrest is not that person, and a loophole was the most we can expect from him. It's only going to get worse. Kills me that each episode watched is one less episode to go.

I honestly think he's forgotten about the vetoes and will be reminded in the last episode

AJ also doing a delayed bow as Forrest bowed and thanked illegal Japanese whalers is the funniest thing to me for no reason. Made me laugh as hard as Lucille suddenly getting shot by the arrow.

Made me laugh as hard as Lucille suddenly getting shot by the arrow. Her reactions in that entire scene are amazing. She gets an amazing look of disgust when he starts to thank the illegal whalers, which turns to a sort of pensive acceptance, and then the delayed bow. EDIT: I also just realized that the rowboat review gave us the first appearance of one of Andy Daly's favorite topics: international waters.

Its kind of crazy how low energy Forrest is compared to absolutely every single other character Andy Daly has done.
|
# ? Sep 7, 2015 00:33 |

Andy Daly characters are all about escalation, that's what he's best at and it feels like the level of escalation in this series has been carefully planned, the stakes, the unexpected outcomes, forrests commitment and his issues are all getting bigger and bigger Eg Don Dimello starts as a weird perv putting on xxx shows at a childrens theatre, then its revealed that he is breaking into the theatre and the girls are all hooked on heroin and by the time the podcast pilot project rolls around there are girls being murdered on stage and kept captive at a farm where they are under constant attack from wolves E: what I mean is I think his energy has been steadily escalating also as he's gotten more and more lost in this whole endeavour

Zsinjeh posted:You're dressed up as Batman to your divorce hearings and you've pissed yourself. That line is telegraphed a mile away but he makes it work so well. The pause. The lean forward. The strained delivery. This show reminds me of something The Onion would have made. Like that Hamming across America web series or Sex House. I enjoy how he keeps rediscovering rage as the key emotion to a lot of these experiences. Will this continued escalation mean this show has the potential to jump? Because what makes it work is, bizarrely, the grounded foils.
