Okay rewatched Two Mrs. Cranes and here's my report. I couldn't remember this episode at all until Clive showed up then I had a massive flash of realization. The bad: 1. The actor who plays Clive is loving awful and his accent is stupid and his character basically doesn't exist 2. Horny Niles kinda crossing the line a few times The good: 1. Constant farcical escalation and nervous tension 2. Marty having lots of fun 3. Definitely a few laugh out loud moments It's not a bad episode

Also some real egregious examples of the Magical Sound Deadening Kitchen. That's the thing where people go into Frasier's kitchen and have real loud conversations that other people right outside somehow don't hear. Does anyone else have any standout examples of the MSDK?

It's been a while, but I remember them loudly arguing about how to be Jewish in Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz.

Also pretty much any episode involving a party. edit: Speaking of, my low key favorite moment from any of the party episodes is when Frasier says the ice is melting and Marty freaks out.

I have always felt uncharitable toward fanfic that doesn't fully capture the spirit of the source material or actually understand the characters

It's OK. It's fun to think Frasier somehow got swept up into an elaborate farce that lead to him assuming the identity of Tom Kane and then watch Boss.

The last season's romance flopping was dumb and proves that Frasier should never date anyone

I still say if there's going to be a Frasier crossover it should involve Arkham Asylum. Probably something about the Joker calling into Frasier's show for laughs, he tries to kidnap him but ends up with Niles, who keeps arguing with Harley Quinn, while an oblivious Frasier has Bruce Wayne cornered at a party, and a worried Marty and Daphne reluctantly call in a favour from estranged relative Jonathan Crane.

Frasier should have married Claire. What a dumbass. At least you get that really good episode with him arguing with imaginary exes in a cabin after he dumps her. Like a dumbass.

Everyone nearby agrees with them. It's only the owner that they would have had to hide their opinions around.

In general for the general populace and the Frasier-implied timelines, I have to say that I disagree with the sentiment that the gentlemen should wear white vest and vest shoes before the evening, after all there is 6 PM for a reason. Are they scouting for the ladies of the night, or are they just proposing that their immediate urges are for the improper of nature?

The only Frasier episode I won't defend is the Greeks one, Daphne's room, and the episode where Frasier and Roz have sex. However, I dont watch the holiday episodes outside of the holiday season. Which is the best Thanksgiving and which is the best Christmas episode?

Lilith Thanksgiving and A Miracle on Third or Fourth Street. I also really like The Fight Before Christmas, but I'm giving Third and Fourth street the nod because it was in the first season and I think was the first time the show leaned hard into the "Frasier loses faith in humanity and finds it again" which I'm a sucker for.

I like the daphne's room episode. Frasier being all "I'm being very nice" and that bit where they're all in there just going nuts through her stuff for some reason?? those bits make me laugh. That Greeks episode feels so out of place. I won't defend that one. I almost want to say I don't like the parking garage episode, because I just don't like bottle episodes of tv shows, but it has some great bits, like Niles calling Frasier a dumbass and the pay off at the end. I just watched the Bar Mitzvah episode and goddamn those photos at the end are just amazing.

I like the Daphne's room episode but I like any episode where Frasier tries to right a wrong by doing the wrong again, eventually.leading to himself and Niles and even Marty all yelling at each other about how unethical they are while doing the worst things they can in the moment

So Roz decides to call in a huge personal favor from a senator just so Frasier and Niles can get into a even more exclusive part of La Porte D’Argent, an idea which she had been making GBS threads all over a minute before

A good friend will help a friend out with something even if they think the idea is dumb. I think a big part of Frasier and Roz's friendship is that they recognise they're very different people, and respect that.

I would happily take Roz as a friend, I can't really think of a downside to being friends with her other than being on the receiving end of some sick burnz and that's only a "downside" it's actually awesome

I mean most of the cast has some potential for redemption, until Daphne's family shows up. They should all have been immediately tossed from Frasier's balcony
