What is the reasoning behind out of character stuff being caused due to drug use? E: Or more specifically, why that is the reasoning being defaulted to ITT, I should say

I am a bit confuse why people here and elsewhere didn't thought this episode was funny, sure there weren't as many good "lines" as usual but there were a ton of great and funny character moments. Amy's dress was hilarious.

I mean I feel like the "Wicker Dan" is good enough to make up for the typical amount we get.

Without looking too far into it, was this episode heavily improvised? If not, it still successfully carries that feeling, and I like it. Still relatively early in the episode, however. Edit: Side note: It's nice to see Cheryl from The Wire (Melanie Nicholls-King) as Ms. Bennett. Terra-da-loo! fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Jun 8, 2015 |

Best part for me was when Jonah was describing his molestation and was reaching for water and Dan snatched it up right before Jonah could grab it.

The idea worked better in The Thick of It, since it was used to take down a what was seen as a unremoveable person. I never got that impression of Erickson like you got of Malcolm. It would've worked better if they managed to spin it onto someone more important or kept them firing the lady who replaced Amy initially into this.

How much of the show is improvised? Season 3 both feels much looser with its comments but much more tightly paced, somehow.

IIRC Iannucci said in an interview that they usually shoot two versions of every scene; one where they follow the script closely and another where the actors improvise.Zombie Raptor posted:Without looking too far into it, was this episode heavily improvised? If not, it still successfully carries that feeling, and I like it. Still relatively early in the episode, however. The answers were probably improvised for the most part. That's what they did in the inquiry episode in The Thick of It. Also, Dan Egan is a... solid five-and-a-half, weak six.

I lost it at "set fire to the WickerDan". That was an exceptionally good half hour of television.

Is "Cloud Botherer" a reference that I'm missing?

I thought it was a play on 'horse whisperer' with a touch of 'god botherer', but I might be missing something as well.

I thought Sam was amazing in this episode. Him whispering "X Box" into the microphone after someone I think said something like "We're not playing games here!" and then in the deleted scenes very slowly and systematically pushing in all the chairs as he leaves the room. Edit: Called the character by his actor's name. Richard is the character. In my defense I originally typed this really late at night Conrad_Birdie fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Yeah I was super down on him when he showed up but the actor has really nailed the performance and plays extremely well off of Jonah.

He's managed to give the character enormous depth by changing absolutely nothing about his performance since he's showed up.

The middle name line, and the line about Jonah being one of the women who was molested, combined with his delivery are probably the funniest things I have ever heard.

Does anyone else think that they're building up Hugh Laurie to take over as the titular character?

Brigadier Sockface posted:Does anyone else think that they're building up Hugh Laurie to take over as the titular character? Yeah I got that impression too. I thought this episode was going to be pinning a bunch of poo poo on Selina as a lead-in to dumping her. It makes a lot of sense if JLD is looking to move on from the show.

Does she though? The impression I got was that she was having a blast filming Veep and didn't want to bail on it.

Yeah, I've haven't had that impression at all. Never felt like Laurie was being built up as the next main character or that JLD wanted to leave the show, pretty much the exact opposite.

You mean the guy who's running for, and will probably become, Vice President on the television show Veep? The very same television show that hasn't had a titular character since the former Veep became PotUS? That guy on that show, really?

Can't they keep both actors but just switch focus to Tom? There still needs to be a POTUS right?

Well the other side of that theory is junk too though I recall Hugh Laurie explicitly not wanting to move to US to film anything.

We never saw the former POTUS so Selena getting bumped down to Veep for Hugh Laurie's POTUS makes sense.

It makes sense except, as far as I can tell, there is no legal precedent for it. I think literally everyone'd be calling bullshit, were it to happen. A friend of mine was wondering if they'd got he 269/269 route for the electoral college result, which I find to be more plausible but still unlikely.
