Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

Yeah, I was expecting that moment to get undermined somehow, and it didn’t happen. Just a genuine moment of cathartic grief and anger.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised after Mac’s interpretive dance. Maybe next season will ask me to feel real ways about Dee’s continual failed attempts to be valued or respected. The new comedy is tragedy.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

:actually: old tragedy is comedy (tragedy + time = comedy, and 15 seasons is a looooooong time). They're only able to do stuff like Charlie in the rain and Mac also in the rain because we've seen these characters develop over a decade and a half. Would be pretty funny to have each season end with some kind of growth or catharsis for each character; Dee sees some success in acting, Dennis at least slightly fixes his brain troubles. I don't know what'd you'd do with Frank...

It's just too late to save Frank.

Charlie Day rocking the grief from losing his father that was never around was pretty legit, like a real scene all around...

Frank doesn't need to be saved, no one in the cast does. Mac is still a poo poo person after his dance performance for example

But Danny Devito is like a legit great actor and I'd love to see him get some serious work as well, even if but for a few moments

Really early in the series the gang is gathered around a fountain and I think Charlie is trying to grab change from it and Dee gets pissed and says “every day I go to this fountain and toss in a coin and wish for a better life!” It’s legit sad

One thing I don't see being discussed us that Mac is basically gayface. I demand that Rob release a sex tape where he and another dude or dudes are just going to town on each other. We have to threaten him with being cancelled. Now, obviously, he could just come out as straight. If he's straight, he's straight and that's completely fine. Aside from the gayface thing. But then he loses his job, his wife loses her job, his friends lose their jobs. So it would really be better for everybody if he just released the tapes.

It’s mostly that horrible angle that you see in porns, where it’s all balls and male rear end just… who likes that? Who finds that sexy?

I thought the castle buying scene would be the funniest scene for me but everything about Dennis talking to the castle while him and Dee are in bed is perfection.

I loved how they screwed up the one thing they could and told the story of Rob finding a dead guy in a previous episode and not "The Gang Finds a Dead Guy."

Just finished the new seasons of AP Bio. Not sure I was onboard with the kids productions or whatever they'd cut to a few minutes but otherwise mostly enjoyable.

I thought it was funny Rob and Charlie don't watch AP bio and aren't apologetic about it.

I thought the first season was ok but never bothered with the new seasons.

That's my AP bio story.

Did they mention that in a podcast?

In any case, some of the best characters vanished from AP Bio after the first season, which I do think hurt the show.

I thought it was hilarious when they lost Devin, like the one character they focused on the most was just gone. It almost felt like they were too mad at him to even write him off, they are just like HE NEVER EXISTED MOVING ON

The casual mention of how Dennis scalded him.

The one issue I take with their comic sensibility is that they could do this kind of title cut more often but they don't. Sometimes they just straight-up say the title, other times it's "What could go wrong?" "FRANK SETS SWEET DEE ON FIRE"

Mac and Dennis taunting Dee for being a gullible rube, cutting to "Mac and Dennis buy a Timeshare" is up there as well.
