Originally this season had 13 episodes. But at some point the network ordered 5 aditional ones, bringing it to a total of 18.
So that also means tha next weeks episode is the original season finale.

I think more networks are finally figuring out how this streaming poo poo works and how they commercially benefit from keeping all the episodes up. CW still hasn't.

Yes, the BILLION DOLLAR Netflix deal that has literally kept the station afloat isn't benefiting the CW at all. Why would they pay out if all the episodes are available for free elsewhere?

That deal is for past season episodes, not current season episodes.

I know, I don't see how that changes anything. Netflix is paying for people to use their service to catch up. Why would they pay if everybody could use Hulu or CW.com instead?

Because being locked from watching current episodes only hurts viewership numbers for upcoming episodes of the current season, which is where the real money in tv is because Nielsen. You keep the current season accessible until it ends, with ads, then gate it away. Seems to work for plenty of other networks. (Plus there is inherent value in controlling the distribution medium; why would they want them to pay for Netflix when they can get them to watch on cw.com?)

This show is great. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that they picked up the Darryl and White Josh thing and actually went somewhere with it instead of just teasing it for a season or something. Hoping for them to become the least messed up relationship on the show (or Paula and her husband, now that they're communicating again).

This show might be the most diverse one on television.

I liked how White Josh explained himself to Darryl. "I am gay and you were kinda cute, so I kissed you." Nothing weird about it.
Also it is great that his friends don't define him by that. If they introduced him as "Gay Josh", the dynamic would be way different.

Also, Rebecca is really good at doubling down on digging her own grave.
That guy was probably talking to Valencia for a while. But maybe she gets ridiculously lucky and the guy has a major cursh on her since college.

I'm conflicted about this episode. I didn't like most of it, since I'm kinda getting tired of Rebecca being super crazy in an effort to spend just a little time with Josh, and the songs weren't that great, but every moment of White Josh and Darryl was so amazing and adorable I was just giggling about it.

I sorta like that NASA control center Paula set up. At first you'd think that it's just something in someones (probably Rebeccas) imagination but then other people show up there and you notice that all this literally happened.
Paula is a bit scary.

I was actually kinda disappointed in that, only because Modern Family had done the exact same bit before.

What redeemed it for me was Paula routinely using the wrong terms in her analogies, which is perfectly coherent with someone who is just hooked on Ed Harris's performance.

Yeah, it's obvious they thought they were ending the series or season here.

I love how the preview for next week has her going broke, after spending outrageous amounts all season. This show's great because it actually has consequences for the typical romantic comedy shenanigans you see in shows and movies like this.

Definitely a huge plot heavy, loose ends tying up while still making a cliffhanger episode. I loved it.

I loved every part of the story because I'm a hopeless sap. I loved the music because I listen to Les Mis basically all the time and Heather's reprise was great.

I love everything about Darryl and White Josh, even though I find it hard to watch people being awkward so those scenes can be a little cringy. I loved when the dude said that Josh was out of his league, and Josh got really mad. His face in that moment was awesome.

The whole thing with Trent I could take or leave. It doesn't help at all that earlier today that I watched this documentary about college rape and they talked about coersion, so I just found it is creepy-uncomfortable rather than creepy-funny. Also it was obvious basically immediately that he was going to produce some evidence to help them win the case, especially when Rebecca was talking about needing that ONE piece of evidence to win. It was very cliche in a show that is normally anything but.

Called it! Wow, that guy is so creepy. Trying to start a relationship by blackmail until Stockholm syndrome kicks in is not a healthy choice.

Brock Samson posted:

He lives in LA and didn't plan ahead, so he didn't actually bring any spare clothes for squatting in Rebeccas house.


"He's way out of your league! Nice job."

Also, I like Audra. "This is what happy feels like." I hope she turns up again sometime.

Trent worked well for me. In any other show he would just be creepy. But here he is basically a parody of Rebecca herself. Showing up out of nowhere after the slightest hint of affection, being irritatibly nice to her, helping her with her job, showing up in her apartment and writing the letter. He is just one degree creepier than her.
And unlike her, he didn't even lie.

Was Greg crushing ice with a big kitchen knife? Is that a thing people do? That seems like such a bad idea for several reasons.

Also Bloom just uploaded the explicit version of that rap battle.

That song really benefits from a second watch. Between the fast talk and the Yiddish the first time I understood basically nothing. Seing the lyrics really helps too.

Trent is basically Rebecca's Rebecca. But yeah he comes off like really creepy so I'm glad he stuck around only for the laughs and not full on creeper.

And this is episode 13 so if that was all they had that was gonna be the finale, but I'm glad it's not.

White Josh and Daryl are the couple I didn't know I needed to exist. Practically tied with Rebecca and Josh honestly.
