Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?

Is that a show run account or just someone pretending? I'm guessing the latter but if it's the former, I need to check that out.
I doubt CC would link a fake account.

This is episode 8, last season was 9, so 1 more?

Edit: Goddammit Grant.

By the way, at least according to IMDB, there are two more episodes this season. The most recent AV Club review also said this, so hopefully it is right.

Am I the only one who thinks that Forrest's dad would be better if he were played by Rip Torn? Bonus points if Rip got drunk before filming like he did with Freddy Got Fingered.

Nothing and nobody involved with anything Tom Green has ever done would improve anything, except obituaries.

I'm pretty sure he got plastered because he hated being in that movie. Nobody can overact like Rip Torn. He would have made that "two years in a hospital" story better.

I think Max Gail's understated performance is what makes him so good. Basically everyone in this show is a foil to Forrest in some way, so his dad being utterly unremarkable and grounded is a good contrast

Aww man, I was hoping for Reviews from Prison for the rest of the season.

Since I don't remember it, I assume that Forrest wasn't lost at sea in any previous episodes, and that's just a joke on how this is supposed to be an ongoing show that we're just seeing pieces of, and Forrest is doing all kinds of insane poo poo that we don't see?

Yeah, that was pretty rad to see him just being serious right after he'd been forcing himself to be happy while his ex-wife and kid tried to separate entirely from him. As usual, Forrest only drops the review if he's personally inconvenienced.

And yeah, I obviously have a few episodes to catch up on, lucky me!

It hasn't been picked up for a third season yet so this one might be it. They could end up concluding it but I'd like a third season if they think they can do it, but it might be hard to pull off after this. Granted a second season seemed hard to pull off after what happened in the first and here we are.

Are they gonna do Forrest's trial in the finale? I can't think of anything else to end a season this dark on, and of course the show would gently caress with that too. He's basically los everything to it at this point, even his dad.

Speaking of, he really nailed that speech.

quote:

Boy, it’s been a crazy year, hasn’t it? You picked a fight with that guy for absolutely no reason and got shot and nearly died. Broke up with that nurse in a way that she fired a gun into the house. Then you burned down the house and you broke up with another girl in a way that she fired an RPG and blew up another house. Then you asked me to fire a bunch of arrows at you—and I did! Then you got lost at sea for three months.

I never gave up hope. Through it all, I told myself, ‘Forrest is a good boy, and he always has been.’ But now a man is dead and you’re charged with killing him. What are your values, son? Did I raise you to have values where it’s okay to kill somebody? I hope not.

So I’m out. I just need to take care of myself now

Forrest quoting the line "someone who represents themselves in court has a fool for a client" during his spiel about the review is something I could totally see happening. Honestly not sure how strong his case is, I mean it clearly ended up being self-defense, but he also had gone there with intent to kill. Proving he changed his mind in the middle of the encounter might be impossible.


The last bit of that has me worried too.

Comedy Central has lost Kroll Show, and Key & Peele, so I'd say we're probably going to get a renewal. It's a good show that gets a lot of good coverage, after all.

I paused the page flips in the intro and on the 'shoulder parrot' one, it looks like it says - useful for stealing all of the PEANUTS! - by the feet drawing and - instructions unclear bird has moved into master bedroom - under the cage drawing.

So I'm kinda sad we'll never get to see Forrest in combat with a bird.

Also

Famous parrots NONE.

Things like this are why I love the show. In case you're wondering, it is red the entire first season including intro and blue all of this season, including intro.

Season 3 green tie?

In case you're keeping track, here are the things Forrest has lost over two seasons of Review:
  • His marriage
  • His home
  • Three girlfriends
  • His father's house
  • His father's timeshare
  • His visitation rights
  • His father
  • His imaginary friend
  • Possibly his sanity

But the one constant is that he still has his show.

Locker Room Zubaz posted:

I think the better question is, how does Review manage keep venturing deeper into really, really dark territory and still be funny as hell? I thought "William Tell/Granting a Wish/Rowboat" was going to be the absolute nadir for Forrest and the height of the show, but they proved me wrong here.

One of the topics in the season finale is "Conspiracy Theory." If there is a trial in the next episode, I can't wait to see how this gets tied in.

If any show can pick up the pieces from a season where everything goes to poo poo and make it beautiful again, it's this one. I won't be too upset if this is the last season because goddamn this has been one hell of a ride, but I'm morbidly curious to see what a third season would look like.
