re: the "WhiJo" discussion a little while back, I'm re-watching season one and the name pops up occasionally here too. After I noticed that its use in season two immediately felt less forced.

Also goddamn I forgot how good season one is.

Hector is a good trash boy who loves his mom. I will not hear him slandered.

Trent just cracks me up because he does the same kind of poo poo Rebecca has done in the pursuit for Josh, only he's a generally more off-putting person.

My wife and I agreed that while Trent is an off-puttingly awkward person in general, the stuff he's doing to win over Rebecca isn't half as creepy as what she was doing to win over Josh.

Trent is a wonderful lampooning of Rebecca and of how women are socialised vs men. The actor has her awkward grin/grimace and neurotic way of talking down pat. That said, perhaps Trent is endgame? Rebecca was very taken with his physical strength and he does fully commit to the same fantasy ideals she does.
Funniest option, he ends up with Valencia.

The recurring gag of Valencia turning to Heather to find out if she's being a girl-friend right was my favorite thing of that episode.

I actually really like that girl gang. For each of them it is the first time they are part of such a group. All for completely different reasons.

I'm still waiting for the full version of "Dear Rebecca Nora Bunch".

I wonder if there is a single person who just doesn't grasp the similarities between those two and finds Rebecca cute and endearing, while Trent is a scary creep.
Trent is the best. The actor is quite good at portraying someone who is somewhat offputting and ever so slightly terrifying.

Valencia is so sweet, she's just so happy to have girlfriends for the first time and wants to get it right :3:

As for the endgame - I think Rebecca's endgame has to be realizing she can be detached from Josh and men in general and still be happy. In the same sense, she should also realize she doesn't need to unhealthily attach to other people in general to be happy. I do hope her and Paula reconcile, but she should realize that Paula is ultimately twice her age and so including her in a younger girl group just won't really work.

When they make a Willem Dafoe biopic, he should play the lead.

I can't be the only one that feels like there's been a huge dip in quality these last couple of episodes, right? These feel like episodes of a show on its 5th season with plots haphazardly put together and forced character interactions.



CXG was one of my top 3 shows of last year so this is a real downer for me :(.

I thought the latest episode was the best one in a while.

I don't think most of the songs are nearly as funny or as memorable as the ones from the first season though.

They were both just generally great in this episode.

I agree about the episode generally, but I thought the songs were a step up this week too.

I feel like outside of obvious budgetary constraints, this season has been pretty consistently on fire. The only ep I didn't super love was last week's but it works as great set up for this week's.

I agree. This season has been killing it in a way even the first didn't prepare me for. And the first season was great!

You can tell season one was crafted and crafted, and then the additional episodes tacked on were less so. Season 2 is less crafted and the songs are nowhere near as good, but there is a genuine sense of fun shaking things up.
