The Wedding episode (the last of series 4) is the single greatest sitcom episode of all time. No human being can make it through the whole thing without cringing themselves inside out. That said, probably my favourite TV show ever. The only way it can end is badly. People seem to want a happy ending for them, but Mark and Jez don't deserve a happy ending.

Steve2911 posted:I very much doubt there'll be a definitive "ending", good or bad. That's probably the worst end, really. Which means it's the most likely. That they've gone nearly a decade, and haven't changed at all.

I'm so eager to find out if we're getting a Pej reference in this series. In fact, that's how I want the series to end. Doorbell goes, someone comes in, Jez just says "Hi, Pej", and then cut to black.

Hitler promised not to invade Czechoslovakia, Jez, welcome to the real world. (Mark's habit of turning everything into a WW2 metaphor is weirdly endearing.)

Y-Hat posted:I gotta say that my favorite episode is when Mark befriends the neo-Nazi. It even has Super Hans smoking crack! Nah, they can't end it with them not being friends. It needs to come full circle, back exactly to the point they started. That's the whole point, both of them are just kinda trapped together, and neither can move on.

10/10. This is going to be the best series. The pacing was incredible. It felt like every line was a punchline.

Coolness Averted posted:I'd like to point out that although Hans is played up as their crazy loser friend, as the series has gone on he's become more successful than Jez and Mark in every measure. Dude has owned multiple businesses, has a (seemingly) nice flat and is now getting (seemingly) happily married. Super Hans is the true happy ending.

Yeah, the whole point of the BSotP plot was to establish Mark will never listen to Jez even if his advice is good for once (shouting "VANITY PUBLISHING" at him)

One of the best episodes in Peep Show history. So many people on twitter totally forgot Jez had been confirmed a few times already to be bisexual.

Fat Turkey posted:Genuinely surprised this is being so warmly received as it is, but good to hear its hitting the notes with some people. The thermometer gag has been done in other episodes and although Dobbie is better, I still think the ahow is better without. At least Mark seems to have some closure now. Some good lines, enough to keep me happy watching. Yeah, Mark is finally actually becoming an adult human, actually realizing that Dobby would be terrible for him.

Steve2911 posted:After Dobby's reaction to Jez's speech, here's how the next few episodes will play out: I see it happening thus: - Dobby dumps the American for beating up Mark - She'll assume that her and Mark are back on because she's realised that she actually loves him. - Mark finally stands up for himself and tells her he's moved on - Series ends with both Mark and Jez single and miserable again. Like Jez said in the past, "I'm his One!"

Especially not in the final season, which is specifically tying up all the loose ends of continuity.

Y-Hat posted:Speaking of which, how did Super Hans escape that cult that he joined at the end of Series 5? I know it's not important to the show in the grand scheme of things, but cult compounds are usually very protected against people who want to leave. Super Hans has already-established...issues, regarding locked doors.

Mainly in a very early episode (season 1) where Mark tries to get him a job at JLB. The one with the facial spasm in the interview.

Mark and Sophie's wedding (which is possibly the greatest single episode of sitcom ever), the Project Zeus episode, and the original Quantocking. Basically, bad things happening to Mark is always funny.

Yeah, the whole point is both of them are just trapped in the status quo with one another. If there was some big event in the finale that totally changed them, it'd be against the point.

I must have seen IAP enough times to have it memorized, and it still breaks me the gently caress up. The speech after piercing his foot on a spike is still one of the greatest comedy moments of all time.
