We're the geezers who still read the newspaper and send snail mail out of habit. (Yes I know Slenderman started here) New episodes were ok. First episode was pretty funny, the opening and Leonard flashback was great and the montage jokes were funny even if that's hardly new territory. Also laughed at "this sandwich is a crushing blow to gender stereotypes" and "that's how you're going to increase sales, creative notes?" Second episode I just couldn't get into. The virtual reality bit dragged on wayyyy too long and was unfunny except for Dean's Die Hard "quote"... guess I'm not the target audience for another VR lampoon. As for the other story, I guess they were trying to sell "Britta at rock bottom" but it wasn't serious enough to be emotional nor was it crazy enough to laugh at.

That episode was loving great. Awesome character development for Annie, and a nice moment for Britta that some will write off as a throwaway gag but I think really goes a long way to showing her as something other than a sad-sack punchline. Great dialogue and introspection into hope/hopelessness and loneliness, typical Harmon but that's why I like his stuff. Dialog was on point too, and of course all of the texting was hilarious. Not a "classic" but just a great resonant character-centric episode all the way through, much like the Blade episode from S3.

It's a shame no one is (apparently) watching this show anymore. It's as good as it has been since S3.

Rexides posted:Are people disappointed with the episode just because there was heavy product placement (understatement), or because having that product placement somehow necessitated having fewer jokes or less interesting character development? Because I believe that you could replace Honda with whatever fictional car manufacturer could exist in the show's universe and it would still be a great episode. The "shameless product placement" joke has been done so many times by so many other shows, it just isn't funny or original enough to sustain an entire episode for me. As a one-off gag, sure, the entire episode, you lost me. I do think I would have enjoyed it more if it was a fictional car brand. Some people just don't like being pitched to constantly, and I own a freaking Honda.

I feel like the last two episodes would have been a lot better at 21 minutes instead of 28. Both ending tags were pretty funny, but the middle of the episodes just dragged and dragged.
