I really liked the 50s style "Winds" song. It fits strangely well.

Me too! Though the song "Let's Have Intercourse" isn't as awesome as "Settle For Me," I still kind of dig Nathaniel. I want the Josh thing over with, finally make the therapist happy.

I'm sad to admit that you are right. I don't hate it and I still have fun, but it has been quite mediocre lately. I was definitely more enthusiastic last season.

You're the worst is a smart and funny show about horrible, miserable people leading horrible miserable lives and treating each other, yup, you guessed it, horribly and miserably. Except Edgar.

I assume they mean this season is headed down that path. I do agree there has been a decline this season mostly with the songs and less nuance.

Also, lol at the super weird reply

Is that really a change, though?

I don't see it as a change. Rebecca has always been a weird, fragmented soul. It's played off in song and humor, but she really is awful, takes steps to change it, only to go right back to being self-centered, delusional, and sneaky. The show doesn't hide that: it's in the name. She is the crazy ex-girlfriend and that hasn't changed, even if she has the guy.

Open Source Idiom

Bloom's talked about this season being Rebecca in denial -- "I can't be held responsible for my actions" -- so I imagine the following season will be about her hitting rock bottom and struggling to gain perspective and actually begin to change.

So I'd guess the character is meant to be her at her most obnoxious right now? I dunno.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I wouldn't call it a "change" either. In fact I'm a little disappointed that it isn't a change since I was enjoying the change it took with the attention moving away from Josh/Greg and to Paula, Heather/Valencia, and Trent. In the last few episodes they've basically put the Rebecca/Paula relationship back to where it was, pushed Valencia and Heather away, Trent is gone, and Nathaniel is just taking Greg's place. I'm not hating it but I was hoping that the show had figured out a way to continue Rebecca's story without keeping it all about Josh and a love triangle.

But I'm not going to trash it or hit the panic button or anything. I'm still enjoying the episodes and am plenty willing to see where they go with the wedding and Nathaniel. Ideally the season ends with Rebecca finally owning the epiphany she was having two weeks ago that her problems are about her and Josh is just a placebo. I think the show's dragging out that initial problem with no progress a bit too long (and the fakeout with the girl group and epiphany probably teased the audience too much), but the season's only got 2 more episodes so I'm fine to give them till then.

I'll say this, having the wiiiiiinds as a kind of Frankie Valli falsetto onomatopoeia was kind of inspired and made the episode for me.

The Winds needs to be in every episode in the background strutting and giving that cheeky smile. He's the in the same upper character tier as Heather, White Josh, and Father Brah.

This definitely felt like the thinking douchebag's 'Settle for Me'

Makes sense, the singer played Frankie in Jersey Boys on Broadway.

Yeah, I mean that was clearly the musical style he was aping so it doesn't shock me that he did Jersey Boys. Hell, he had the wardrobe.

But it was just a brilliant little move because that high pitched falsetto so perfectly fit the "wind" sound when they spelled it out. Its that kind of really clever touch that makes me really enjoy Crazy Ex Girlfriend's musical aspects even though I usually hate TV musicals. They're not trying to make itunes download songs, they're actually putting thought into the jokes and purposes of the songs.

Didn't enjoy most of this ep at all but the last 10 minutes seemed to be an attempt to fix a lot of the issues I've had with this season since ep 8 or so, so I'm optimistic about the finale.

I was a big Valencia fan from the first season and I'm glad she has ascended to become an incredibly well-adjusted and mature being of pure light. This season has been far more uneven than last season but it still has plenty of highs and is better than anything even remotely similar.

"Trent how did you get here???"
