muscles like this? posted:I wonder if they'll address the dead body situation (as in there are none lying around) or just ignore it as something that would kind of mess with the tone of the show. Well obviously Phil spent 2 years burying every body he found. That's why he thought no one was alive!

This show is basically an extreme version of The Odd Couple and I love it. Phil's completely given up on his humanity and Carol clings too tightly to it. Does anyone know if its filmed on location? While it's neat to see Arizona looking houses on TV, those roads look too nice to actually be Tucson. Edit: I also know a Phil Miller and he's even more of a slob than Forte's character.

lelandjs posted:Yeah, I don't agree with the people saying that Carol was faking doing things to get Phil to do them for her. I think she legitimately did not know what she was doing getting the manhole cover off and injured herself in the process. Not every female character on TV has to be a conniving/scheming bitch. In fact, most aren't. She literally announces her scheme in the beginning of the episode... Also good job bringing up the word "Bitch" even though nobody else in this thread has. I'm sure this thread is destined for great things.

Re-watching the scenes where she is trying to fix the water only increased my inkling that she was faking. The way that she was yelling narration about how hard it was is classic passive aggressive behavior and her limp was pretty hammy acting, either by the character or Schaal and based on the quality everywhere else in the episode I have to believe its the former. Do I believe that every woman is manipulative? No. Did I think Skyler was a bitch? No. Is Schaal's character specifically written as an ironic representation of the kind of woman who tries to renovate their man? Yes, and that's ok. Miller need's changing, I don't know that any of us would actually want to live with him in that state, and she doesn't have many other options available to her besides passive-aggressive manipulations. I don't see why this can't be a funny road to take the show down for a while. If we want to get into the sexual politics of this theory, and we shouldn't, the show hasn't done anything to prove that it is above such a stereotype. A lot of this can be explained by us seeing events from Miller's perspective, but this is a very masculine show: it's 99% beer, Twinkies and porn. Of the two women we see one is the ultimate Gone Girl 'Cool Girl' - Alexandria Daddario in a sundress singing the Ghostbusters theme - so why wouldn't the other be a similarly stereotypical woman? It's not a good thing if she is, but at the same time this is a network sitcom and we're only two episodes in so it has to be somewhat acceptable for some stereotypes to still exist, so long as they are fleshed out and further subverted as we go along. So long as it stays funny along the way I don't see why we should mind. So yeah, if you were worried about a that guy... Viginti fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Mar 3, 2015 |

I think Carol's over-the-top attitude, with the passive-aggressive comments and hypergrammaticism, going to great lengths to enforce a rule that isn't even really a rule*, isn't so much her character feigning anything as it is her character's attempt to survive. Phil, after his quest is over, releases his id. Because gently caress it. With society gone, society's rules are essentially moot. It's a pragmatic way of dealing with the questions of how to survive, and also how to entertain one's self. But Carol can't let go that way for some reason, a reason that'll probably be fodder for future episodes. She deals with the sudden loss of societal structure by farcically overcompensating, insisting that the now unimportant rules still be followed, even fake grammar rules. She has to keep everything proper. * This is normally the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put.

There's a stretch of super nice houses/mansions that look like the one he's in. Could you theoretically keep flushing a toilet by filling up its tank for years and years? Do you actually need running water for that?

Yes, if you manually fill the tank a toilet would work just fine. As long as the sewers don't clog up under your house.

Phil would have to restore power to the pumps that kept that water tower full. It would be empty a week or two after the power stopped, just due to natural leakage.

I was looking forward to this since I heard about it and I can say that it surpassed my expectations - I didn't read any spoilers beforehand so things going the way they are was a bit of a surprise! But like a good surprise I almost died laughing at the part where he tries to shoot the thing while fixing the water - he goes into this serious thinking pose just beforehand and then cut to him looking like a monkey or something with his arm outstretched and holding his face away, Will Forte loving kills it Also bring back Clone High

That's what she was doing 100%.

Grim posted:I almost died laughing at the part where he tries to shoot the thing while fixing the water I love that the gun is his go-to object to fix his problems. I almost cried laughing when he went to the store, looked at the 'no shirt, no shoes, no service' sign (which was amusing enough in itself) and then nonchalantly pulls out the gun to shoot the window. I'm also a fan of (at the moment at least) not knowing much about the characters from before the virus. One flashback of Phil to show he misses his friends and family and that's it. I really wish I had the whole season to binge watch already, dammit.
