Yep, easily top 3 of the season so far. Found it pretty emotional too.

I don't think I've ever seen a show plummet from excellence to dogshit as fast as this has. Since Greg left it's been borderline unwatchable - Valencia and Rebecca just aren't believable as friends. The guy who said this feels like a season 5 episode where they've run out of ideas nailed it.

This episode was improved. Was that a tribute to Heart/Ann and Nancy Wilson? The research song was a great concept and decently executed. And the steal the cat video plot made R+V work better than it has in recent weeks. I just wish they'd polish all the songs like they polished last season's breakthroughs and Drinking Song/Tap that rear end/Ping Pong Girl. So many great concepts that just need another few hours through the creative mill to be great. Spice Girls, Bad Thoughts, the R. Kelly Closet take-off, all so close to greatness. And still, nothing compares to the Maya. Except possibly ten seconds of the Trent is Gettin Ready Song.

I thought this was an awesome episode! I want more Trent. Trent is the perfect foil for Rebecca. Also, I like Rebecca with Valencia. I like the dynamic between the women and how they just feed and enable each other as they act like crazy exes. I can't stop thinking about that song, Research Me Obsessively.

Its impossible to know but I genuinely think I would have been getting sick of this show by now if it hadn't changed things up like it had. Rebecca getting girlfriends and shifting her main drama to Paula has given the show a nice shakeup that kept it from getting to that point where I just sort of lose interest if it had still been a love triangle with Josh and Greg. And yeah, I love the return of Trent being the living embodiment of how Rebecca's behavior would play if she wasn't a cute lady.

I absolutely agree. I still wish Greg was around, but there's no way they could have kept the Josh crush going without it getting seriously irritating, and they clearly know this.

Yeah, I liked Greg and was sad to see him go. But I can't imagine how they could have kept the status quo going with Josh and him without getting really stale and/or making Rebecca really unlikable. The way they changed it up its almost like there are new characters to get to know and new relationships and its put Rebecca back in a fairly sympathetic position. Its hard for a show to change up their core that much and not miss much of a beat but I think this one pulled it off.

By the way, Bloom is nominated for another golden globe. But to be perfectly honest, I think Julia Louis-Dreyfus deserves it more. Veep was amazing last season.

I've really liked this season so far. Unrelated, the Crazy Ex giffer I follow did something wonderful: https://bunchofbloom.tumblr.com/post/155011746103/dear-2016-crazy-ex-girlfriend-wrote-you-a-song edit: I've been rewatching the old songs, and man, UTI is still probably one of my favorite songs. It's the happiest Greg ever was on the show, for one. Senerio fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Dec 28, 2016 |

I miss Greg so much but I'm also extremely happy he's away from all these toxic horrible people. Heather was perfect for him but she's also just perfect in general tbqh. Glad she got her own song and I can only hope we get more. It's really interesting seeing Valencia on the opposite side of things than she was last season too.

Missing Greg is the correct respnse but considering all that's happened since you should be happy he's avoiding all these awful awful people. I hope we get to see him again at some point because he and Heather are perfect together. Also everyone else read this until the end, it's good. https://twitter.com/worstbloke/status/817250633195454464

Patton Oswalt was tweeting last night that he's on tonight's episode and that his character is SUPER creepy. Maybe his character made that craigslist post?

Paula, touch. the. ray.  Feels like someone doing you a favor. In a graveyard. I like Nathaniel. In a show about diversity and personal happiness he ties everything a bit into reality. Of course he is the enemy, but I do think that character is more than a strawman. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Jan 7, 2017 |

I thought those two episodes were a bit abrupt -- I wonder if it's something the CW mandated, or if they just decided the current plot lines weren't working. Either way, it'd probably have helped to extend the Brittany Snow arc an episode or two further; her reasons for dumping Josh weren't really clear (and, like, the show's usually more generous to its characters than that). That and the new boss / Paula's husband were kind of sudden (thought the latter was at least something they were building to for a while). cant cook creole bream posted:I like Nathaniel.

It probably helps that he's destined to be part of the central love triangle.

Introducing Nathaniel and the hostile takeover makes sense in so far as they don't have a villain or main adversary for Rebecca. Valencia is a friend now and unless they make her jealous of Rebecca being back with Josh, which would be a mistake since she's better having gotten over him and realizing he was a lovely boyfriend. Greg's gone so the love triangle is busted there. Josh is no longer harboring ill will. They stretched the Paula thing out as long as they could before Rebecca redeems herself. So giving her a professional adversary and introducing the idea of Rebecca going back to her evil lawyer ways works. And they seemed to be possibly setting up Nathaniel as a new romantic foil for Josh as they're basically polar opposites. Nathaniel was set up hard as the villain with the hostile takeover and the petty firing of George. But it definitely seemed like they were setting up his dad as the true villain and him possibly reforming as things go on. I see the possibility of Nathaniel making Rebecca more like her NY lawyer self and tempting her with an intellectual/professional equal while she influences him to turn away from his father's ruthless methods and do the Hallmark movie face turn for love.

I thought it was pretty clear and reasonably well set up. Josh is a giant man baby. Anna has a successful business and knows celebrities. There were a lot of little moments where she'd take something Josh said as a joke or do a little double take. Then there were a bunch of little "this is a decent little club for the suburbs" comments. She's "sophisticated" (at least for West Covina) and seeing Josh as the "mall model" made it all click for her. It wasn't cool how she broke up with him but you know, Josh is an idiot and that was never going to work once she realized that. Like, Anna's not a terrible person for not wanting to be with Josh. He is who he is. She just was obviously fooling herself about him and when the veil fell in spectacular fashion she reacted badly. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jan 8, 2017 |

But the show's apparently got massive ratings on Netflix, far, far more than it gets on the CW. In a recent (third party estimate, admittedly) breakdown of the most watched shows, state to state, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend topped four states, including California and New York. Source

It makes sense to me. It's the only of CWs recent shows that has any buzz. If you're not into the hero stuff that's like a third of their lineup. No one seems to give a poo poo about shows like No Tomorrow or Frequency. At least there seems to be this steady buzz about Crazy Ex Girlfriend where people are asking about it. Then you throw in actual tangible things like awards and Netflix ratings. Seems worth it for a network that isngoing to renew Supernatural until it's stars retire and it's big new show is a dark and sexy Archie murder mystery.

They lucked into a prestige show that costs like $50 an episode to make, you don't cancel a show like that unless you're bad at TV.
