I thought the episode was really so-so. I think I had one small laugh, things felt off yadda yadda all the complaints about new seasons.

I really liked this episode. Pretty much everything Mac does is hysterical, as was the Charlie-Frank plot. The lower body reveal killed me. The odd thing I thought was how inactive (rather than actively selfish) Dee and Dennis were; they just sort of go along with Mac's thing, rather than constantly trying to worm themselves into being the centre of the whole thing.

Bust Rodd posted:Was last night’s ep the first time Glenn has directed? According to IMDB, yup! edit - Matt Shakman has directed the most (43!). He seems to do an episode or two of a ton of other shows - including some of the best Psych episodes. Fred Savage is number 2, but that was only in the first few seasons. Lately, they seem to have a bunch of different directors. Rob directed 2 - Charlie Gets Crippled & Charlie has Cancer Ariza fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Sep 26, 2019 |

I've said in previous seasons that each episode picks one person in the gang to be the smart one and the rest are idiots. This was a Mac is smart episode.

I kinda wish they were more subtle about the whole Teddy thing. It was pretty obvious there was some sort of "twist" there, but I feel like they telegraphed it a little too much with how they talked to the couple about Teddy; Mac and Dennis both used pretty specific references to the issue of Teddy being "dead," "buried," etc. I also thought they went a smidge too far on the meta. Usually, they're pretty good with the wink-wink nudge-nudge fourth wall breaking, but there were definitely some moments where it felt much more like the writers talking than the characters talking. I did think overall it was pretty fun, though. I enjoyed Frank and Charlie's story quite a bit, but I do agree with PittTheElder about Dee and Dennis that they seemed more like props than their usual characters, but I imagine half of that is probably due to this being Glenn's first time directing an episode and he probably didn't want to cram his character in there too much.

My favourite part was the reaction when Dee put her hand on Mac. The seething and instant rage the whole gang has towards Dee is never not great. Even in situations where it feels like they're all in a great mood and having fun, the moment Dee over-steps her place in the pecking order they turn on her so fast and so brutally.

The Charlie and Frank plot was pretty good, it felt like something from old Sunny. The Mac and Dennis one, on the other hand, was really schematic and half-assed. You could reliably predict the whole thing beat by beat - which wouldn't be bad per se, if it did something with the characters, but it didn't. Also Dee's face looks really weird.

Compared to last season, thought this was a really strong opener. Pretty optimistic about the rest of the episodes. It definitely had the classic Sunny "feel" which was only present in a few episodes from last year imo.

Really looking forward to the rest of the season. Maybe this first episode was a bit weak but I've come to really like a bunch of last season's episodes I thought were't very good on later re-watches.

They all look old. Charlie least of all e: that's not a comment against her, in particular. But I was shocked at the difference the years have made. When they were standing side by side in Mac's room, I god really depressed at how old I probably look too Milo and POTUS fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Sep 26, 2019 |

I think I was saying this last season but I think they're intending for everyone to older and weathered now either that or new high def cameras but also yeah Dee's lips are huge in this ep

Sometimes I wish Dee and Dennis were rich assholes again for a season like they were early on, and could band together to lord it over the rest. Then they could really go in on a plastic surgery angle!

I'm a lil bummed that they used the Dunder Mifflin location for a bus stop. I was hoping there would be some crazy office themed episode.

I thought they were setting up a renter catfish meta-joke by using a photo with famous European erotica model Emily Bloom as one of the girls. Then it turn out she's just straight-up an actress now with a pretty lenghty IMDB page. Good for her.

I didn't get it but still laughed at Frank catching on late. Mac wanted a "Meet Cute" and Charlie and Frank assumed he said "meat cube" and got excited because that sounded good to them. Things got dark later when Dennis referred to the woman as "Cute Meat" "Oh don't call it a trap, that's not romantic at all!" Edit: Completely misunderstood what you were asking, sorry.

I got the feeling they didn't actually tell Devito in advance about the Pretty Woman gag, 'cause his reaction seems pretty genuine, kinda like Mike Myers in Wayne's World when Garth asks about Bugs Bunny in a dress Slightly Absurd fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Sep 27, 2019 |
