EmmyOk posted:I think Greg and Rebecca might not be sympatico anymore because I mean she loving stamped on his heart three times now in increasingly horrific ways. Granted the last one was his fault but it's still a pretty big issue. Heather and Greg made a lot of sense but they can't get back together now or it'll feel like he's settling for her imo. As unhappy as he was in that town before, I don't know how he'll deal with being around any of them now. He will have to start hanging out with only Beans now. If this was a grittier show I'd think it would be on track to have him nosedive deeper into alcoholism and self destructive or suicidal thoughts. Maybe they will and find a way to write fun songs about it? It's too bad he can't get out of this toxic Bermuda Love Triangle town without leaving his dad

Greg's dad has macaws, which are notoriously long-lived birds and frequently bequeathed to children in their owners' wills. Presumably, if his dad dies, Greg will inherit his father's macaws and then we will have birdman Greg, macaw daddy. Ergo: Greg's dad must die.

Guys, I can't find my remote and I'm stuck watching the end of this terrible vampire show. That should tell you how excited I am for this show to come back.

So it wasn't a very exciting episode but I guess that's what you have to do when you are resetting the stage for a new central conflict of the season and setting everyone up for new arcs and stuff. Can we just magically hide everything from Greg forever please? Like I know being honest with ourselves and others in an essential moral of the show but ugh Greg should just go to Emory and never hear of any of this and maybe come back in 2 years to find a Rebecca who has gone through a lot of therapy. When is that season going to be?

Yes, except I want to follow Greg around and not Rebecca because her gaslighting Josh really skeeved me out. Also calling him Joshie like Valencia did. ewwwww

I actually held off on watching this because I can't stand musicals, but thankfully you don't lose anything plot-wise if you skip the songs. It's now one of my favorite shows as a result. So, uh, if there's anyone else out there that's been holding out because of the musical aspect, I really urge you to watch it anyway. Second season is off to a strong start. Good one-liners, and Paula's relationship continues to be hilarious. Really looking forward to watching new eps and the inevitable trainwrecks that come throughout. And Bloom's crazy eyes are still on-point. I still really liked the first theme more though. e: oh god the skywriter plan

I always like it when Rebecca actually sings a bit for real. How hard is it for a professional singer like Bloom to make their voice ever so slightly of tune? (In case you're wondering, that is actually intentional.)

Super funny premiere and sets up the season well as Zaggitz said. Wasn't a massive fan of the first song (and, thinking in a "I want this show to be popular as hell" way, it could potentially alienate a lot of new viewers with its weirdness [even if that's their own fault for being dumb and lame]), but loved the second. Really looking forward to how the Greg and Paula stories develop.

Was this episode super funny? It seemed very functional from a set up perspective, but there weren't a lot of lol moments for me. Long over-analysis post incoming! I laughed the most at Greg the dream falcon: "tell Emory she's not getting her shirt back!" Otherwise I found most of the dialogue to be too expository to be funny. Contrasting it with the first few episodes of season 1, Rebecca is still making bad decisions, but she doesn't have as much showing that she is sympathetic, interesting, or funny in her own right. She spends most of her time in the episode trying to manipulate Josh, push Paula into behaving in a way she doesn't want to, and looking for Greg not out of concern for him but out of a selfish need for validation of her bad Josh choices. Not someone I'd be rooting for if this was the first episode I'd seen. Her only pathos came from the very relatable love kernels song. What I did like about the episode was the arcs and themes it seems to be setting up for the future. Paula and Greg have gained insight that they were feeding their respective addictions, and that they'll be happier if they try to fill that void with self improvement instead. Josh gets handed an insight from his boss that he needs to grow up. As we already knew, a big flaw is his emotional immaturity which had probably been kept in stasis in part by being stuck in the same relationship rut with Valencia since high school. By moving in with his parents he gets a chance to metaphorically reset and start that journey over from the beginning. Rebecca... well she clearly still needs help getting back on the self improvement path. If the theme song is a clue, I think we'll see her struggling with a delusion about what love is and looking for the wrong things out of love for at least half the season before she starts seeing any light. I both love and hate that backsliding is a thing that happens on this show. I look forward to seeing them improve but that just makes their later bad decisions so hard to watch! I'm hoping to see more father brah and dr akopian this season, and I hope they show that counseling can be helpful in dealing with these issues. I like that Paula now has her husband as a sounding board. Finally, it will be interesting to see how they talk about alcoholism on this comedy show. Does anyone else remember the alcoholism story line from Boy Meets World? I'm getting reminded of that for some reason.
