Season 5 will be more "laugh-centric" and "less dramatic" accoring to him, whatever that means. Is there no promotional material for it yet? Bit late if it's starting in less than two weeks.

Yeah after last season I'm having a hard time warming back up to this show. About the last episode though, I'm not a huge Michael Rapaport fan but kudos to him for playing the part as well as he did; he was a very, very last minute replacement for Bill Burr (apparently) who pulled out at the very last moment and kind of left Louie hanging in the wind so much so that he nearly axed the entire episode. And the episode was based on a real event that happened to Robert Smigel (comedian, voice of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog).

Also there are only eight episodes this season because originally Louie was going to take another long-rear end break after last season, but got high literally one night before FX was going to announce the break, came up with "great" ideas, got in touch with the president of FX and told him to not announce the break and said he could do the (shorter) season sooner, now armed with all these great ideas. Then he woke up and realized that his pot-addled ideas were poo poo (having to do with the return of Doug Stanhope's "Eddie" character, now a successful investment banker and him and Louie opening up a comedy club together) so he hastily wrote this season because he was basically bound to do it and he couldn't just say no because a lot of people depend on the show being made.

That was the best episode since season 2 probably. More of that, please.

The 60's cop in Bobby's "story" arresting the black guy just passing by was amazing.

This was one of those random stream-of-consciousness episodes that he probably wrote in half an hour.

I liked it.
The muslim kid left behind at the airport and the thing about airplanes being shot at and airport crews picking out bullets off the bottom of the planes were stories he told on O&A once.
