This show is the best kind of weird.

It's like an IV drip of novelty.

P.S. Still liking Sax's shirts. They look like they'd make for good drinking shirts.

Season 2 is trippier than season 1. And I'm not even sure how to explain this one to anyone.

This is the long awaited sequel to Law & Order SVU and I won’t be told otherwise.

Everything about this show is great.

Me watching the new episode: “This is just not okay” about 37 times.

Just all kinds of not okay. But in like the most perfect amazing way possible.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

Back during early season 2 buzz I heard Weird Al had a cameo as a "misogynist chain smoking man in a diaper" and I assumed it would be a live action diaper fetish thing in the spirit of lobster boy from season 1. The way it was implemented was still fun but I was hoping for paraphilic infantilism because seeing it through the lens of this show would be a treat.

Individual pieces range from merely weird to LiveLeak material but all together it forms a gorgeous tapestry of insanity. Crazy Stabler/Slightly Crazier Keller/Meloni stumbling down a busy street in a Hawaiian shirt and fishnets with a face oscillating between fear, bliss, and needing to take the biggest poo poo in all of history is an image I didn't know I needed in my life.

Talk about imaginary friends and goo.

If I was to make one criticism about this season it kinda seems like they don't know what to do with Happy. Feels like they're giving him this little side plot because there isn't really a reason for him to be involved in the main story like he was in season 1.

You could delete him from every episode this season and I don't think it'd have any impact on how things have unfolded so far.

Next week it looks like Sax gets back on the sauce so prepare to see some serious poo poo :dance:

Happy’s sexual awakening has been so cringey that I wish they had just not brought him back in season 2 and then at the end of the final episode Hailey asks Nick “Do you remember Happy?” and he replies “No.”

Sorry Happy, no offense but I have zero interest in your life with all the gross poo poo happening in the show’s reality. Dickskin starfish pregnancy and Smoothie grooming Hailey just :derp:

It would be kinda awkward to delete the character the show is named after but it would be an improvement at this point. I just want to watch Chris Meloni gently caress up people while hosed up on various substances.

otoh I have a lot of faith in the people running the show so maybe they'll make Hap relevant again by the end of the season.

“I think one or both of us is having a schizophrenic episode” is an apt description of this show.

Hailey hugging Smoothie was viscerally disturbing and that is saying something because like every moment in this show is disturbing.

Usually Syfy shows go to Netflix right before the new season airs, so you might be waiting a year.

Dumb question, but were either of those people actually Smoothie’s parents? I’ve watched the episode twice and I can’t tell if he terrorized his actual mom or just found the one isolated Spanish-speaking woman in town and threatened her after planting creepy childhood photos in the house. Same with “Dad”; I figured it was a random guy but my husband thought it was actual dad who didn’t recognize his son because they left when he was a kid. It was hard to tell anything from the photos.

Either way holy moly.

Not sure about the mom (but now I question that too) but the "Dad' was for sure some stranger he grabbed.

Pretty sure they were both strangers. I thought as soon as they arrived at the house and the woman seemed to be scared of him that she probably wasn't his mother.

Someone in the season one thread was involved with the production of the show on set and said Patrick Fischler was completely chill and a super nice guy when the cameras aren't rolling. He isn't one of those method acting weirdos, he's skilled enough to turn Smoothie on/off as needed for the camera.

Goddamn I knew exactly where everything was going in that episode but sheeeeit, I can’t wait for the finale.

So is Happy a god or is Orcus an imaginary friend? Because I can’t wait to see him rendered as an old-timey devil popping out when his body gets killed.
