Still awesome and pretty heartwarming once they were married. January Jones better step up to Carol's eggplant parmesan cake.

Please let them keep introducing more and more attractive women with still only Phil left alive. That would be loving magnificent. Also, if this doesn't cause them to have the incest discussion then I don't know what will because it's supposed to happen at some point. I definitely enjoyed the call back on the stop sign too. gently caress why isn't more of this show available yet. Relentlessboredomm fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Hope he's smart enough to point out that if they are really serious about rebuilding the human race, they need as much genetic diversity as possible.

Since she said, "There will never be another meatball ever again," does that mean that ALL animals were wiped out by the virus?

Exactly - you'd think one of the first things Forte might've done would have been to go to an animal shelter and pick up a dog. ...probably the simpler explanation is that the show's being done on a shoestring, and animals cost money.

There are definitely still animals, there was a bit in the first episode where you could hear a coyote.

I just rewatched last night's episode while I ate lunch.... still laughed at Louise whispering, "See? I'm not talking... I'm your quiet wife..." then there's a cutaway and you hear a mighty grunt from her. I'm going to feel bad for her if Phil starts banging the blonde without permission. She's so sweet and sincere. Speculation: Phil talks the ladies into sharing him, using the argument that DNA spread is wise, etc. Everybody is on board, and it all happens. And the next day a 23yo hardbody hunk pretty boy shows up, and Phil gets to hear about how lots of different DNA is important.

I was wondering about animals myself. I did notice in the 2nd episode that Phil tried to blame the tomatoes being eaten on a raccoon. I mean, in context it was supposed to be a flimsy lie so it's not proof that there are animals around. I think it's just hard to say at this point. But yes, I did think about the fact that if there are animals around, Phil could have done much better if he had a pet.

Do either Phil or Carol seem like they could kill animal remotely? I think they would lack the skills. I also have to hand it to Phil for keeping a boner during that sex talk, as that was drat bad.

I highly highly doubt there will ever be another male on this show. Hell, I've even willing to guess that one of the episodes will flash forward a few years and Phil has a bunch of daughters.

It's good we've so far seen the two big plot twists in three episodes. It'd be lamer if they dragged out "Man alone" for a few episodes and "the odd couple" for a few as well, and only shake it up after people start accusing them of running out of ideas. Not sure what are the natural third twist should be besides "a 4th guy." Also, I personally would have made my friends statues from Madame Tussauds rather than tennis balls, even if the Tuscon weather would have melted them quickly.

Next woman to show up will be like Alison Brie or Katrina Bowden. I was thinking, how hard would it be to setup solar panels? In a sunny place like Tucson you'd think they'd be able to provide enough power to run a tv and a DVD player at least.

Not hard to dump gas into a generator though. I'd be hard pressed to shoot an animal and cook it.

What got me was that he "toured" the country looking for survivors in a bus. If that had broken down on a barren stretch of high way between Phoenix and Tucson, he'd probably have died.

I would think that in Tucson you'd be able to find a house already fitted with solar panels. The obvious answer, is of course, because of plot reasons.

I also don't think Phil cares about solar power either. He didn't even care about running water until Carol poked him about it. You really got to think about this from a resource perspective, being by yourself means everything is disposable. You don't need to have electricity to run that dishwasher, just use new dishes all the time. You'll never run out of instant coffee, or propane bottles. You'll never have to wash clothes because you can always wear new ones. There's so much infrastructure built up, even with it falling apart from no maintenance, there's enough easy picked resources to keep one person alive for their full lifespan in relative comfort without traditional utilities.

Viginti posted:Re-watching the scenes where she is trying to fix the water only increased my inkling that she was faking. The way that she was yelling narration about how hard it was is classic passive aggressive behavior and her limp was pretty hammy acting, either by the character or Schaal and based on the quality everywhere else in the episode I have to believe its the former. Do I believe that every woman is manipulative? No. Did I think Skyler was a bitch? No. Is Schaal's character specifically written as an ironic representation of the kind of woman who tries to renovate their man? Yes, and that's ok. Miller need's changing, I don't know that any of us would actually want to live with him in that state, and she doesn't have many other options available to her besides passive-aggressive manipulations. I don't see why this can't be a funny road to take the show down for a while. What the heck

Red posted:Phil looked for the biggest/nicest house - those homeowners don't really care about solar power. I'm not even sure the issue here is Phil's apathy. It could easily be ignorance. Even if Phil is aware of the high percentage of houses in Tuscon that have solar panels (assuming that's even true), there's no guarantee that he's truly aware that solar panels producing electricity is an option. He's survived a mass extinction event, and it simply may not have occurred to him. In his mind, solar panels are probably just some speck of minutia that he would only remember if someone asked him if he'd ever seen a DIY show involving solar panels. ("Oh yeah! Solar panels!! Why didn't I think of that?") And besides, as has been noted, he's not exactly a forward-thinking person. He does what he knows, and little else. Instead of restoring running water, he does what he knows: drinks bottled water. And instead of racking his brain to find a source of electricity that one person can use and maintain (like solar panels), he does what he knows: puts gas in a generator and plugs something into it.

sbaldrick posted:I pretty much figured Phil was going to move once he trashed out the house. Yeah. The sheer number of houses avaliable is really mind boggling if you think about it. Tucson has 203k households. If he lived in one per day, it would take 500 years to go through them all. That's just ONE relatively small city. He doesn't need to give any fucks about anything.
