This is the one in which Greg comes back....kind of. He's been recast, and as I learn during the recording, that was mostly for practical reasons due to availability of the original actor. However, they turned it into a metaphor which honestly is a smart move.
However, I'm going on record: this Greg sucks.

There are any number of ways you can handle that in a script, but I'm not totally sure that I'm loving watching some of these arcs as much anymore, and I feel bad about that.
That said, I really did like this episode because it's Rebecca establishing boundaries in a way that feels so important, despite the fact that her mother isn't SUPER receptive. Also, the whole thing with Josh causes me to RANT. So get ready for that.

This could have gone in a few different directions, and it still might, but the crux of the matter is that Rebecca's friends are all moving on to new phases of their lives and she's not. She can handle this (or not) in a multitude of ways, and what she chooses is trying to pretend that she's young a hip and it's sooooo embarrassing.
While that's going on, we've got Paula dealing with the fact that the son she's finally feeling closer to is suddenly not only moving out, but leaving the country altogether. I really loved this development and I am eager to see what her other son gets up to.

I guess that's a good sign, in that they've made it adequately compelling just because I care about Rebecca, whether or not Nathaniel is a factor.

Also there's a pretty fun little time-jump this episode, and I'm really never going to get over Dr. Akopian's solo because DAAAAAMMMNNN.
Thanks for listening!]]>3759truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/crazy-ex-girlfriend-s03e10-oh-nathaniel-it-s-on--41478090This episode deals with (kind of) the thing that's been bothering me for a while now about Nathaniel, which is how he was a really fun asshole type at the start of his introduction to the show, but as he became more and more of a romantic option for Rebecca, the show pulled way back on some of his more abrasive or unhealthy characteristics. It bothered me how we were supposed to apparently just forget who he'd been, and only see this new, boring version of him that had sprung up in its place.
Meanwhile, there's a whole thing with Heather trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life, and she's really startled to find out that she's a good fit in a corporate setting because she brings new ideas that are desperately needed. I really enjoy the super awkward thing with her ethnicity and her boss trying to navigate that.

Getting to see Nathaniel and White Josh become buds and bond over the fact that they're super hot and still got dumped is hilarious and also oddly touching.
Meanwhile, Rebecca is trying to distract herself with some volunteer work, but it turns out that as a distraction, it's not really super successful. Eek.

This was a rough one. I'm only realizing now as I type this up that this episode shows us a return to the title ending in an exclamation point, and I'm pretty concerned that this could mean a return to some of Rebecca's past behavior. On a more continuous basis than just this episode, I mean.
I just didn't really like the premise of the conflict Nathaniel, I don't like how watered down his character has become, and I'm not terribly interested in the whole thing with Daryl and the baby. The one real high point of this episode was Josh getting kicked out by his mom.

Of course it's super satisfying to have Rebeccas FINALLY realize what we've known all along, namely that Josh isn't the actual issue. But even more than that, it's great to watch her be surrounded by friends who are so supportive and care about her so much, and to watch her LET them care even though it's tough at first.
Also, there's the issue with her diagnosis, which is really interesting because I haven't seen BPD dealt with on a show before, so I'm very curious to see how it's handled.

So I hope you're all prepared for me to be messy because it's about to get real sniffly up in this bitch.
This episode is all about Rebecca's hopelessness and feelings of total isolation and despair, and how much self-loathing she has about the things she said to her friends. The irony of the episode is that every time we go back to West Covina, all we see are her friends worrying about her and wanting to see her and hoping she's okay...but Rebecca just thinks that they never want to see her again.

Does that make me a bad person? Oh well, we already knew that.
Meanwhile, there's the drama with Paula and her husband, which I'm dreading watching further because I want her to forgive him but even if she does, things will never be the same again. In good news, though, Rebecca manages to prove herself to Paula and they are friends again. YAY.

She hasn't got a family that she cares about, and he mother is a disaster. So what does Paula do? She loses her mind and manages to get Rebecca invited to Josh's family Thanksgiving dinner.
That goes about as well as one could expect. Rebecca is a big hit with Josh's parents, but turns out that he still wants to move in with Valencia. Why, though? WHY?

Thanks for listening!]]>3379truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/crazy-ex-girlfriend-s01e05-josh-and-i-are-good-people--18723898This one is particularly dear to my heart because it basically involves a fantasy scenario that any competent person has probably had many many times: getting to take over your place of work and turn it inside out until it runs the way it's supposed to. *sighs dreamily* I love working for myself.
Mostly, though, this episode involves Rebecca trying to convince herself and Greg that she's not terrible, and she does a lot of terrible things to achieve it. In the end, she manages to see what she's doing at least a little bit, but it's painful to watch her perform for someone else.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will be seeing you soon with a new episode!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18723898Mon, 05 Aug 2019 16:20:18 +0000UNspoiled!

I love Rebecca so much. She's so deeply flawed and struggling with so many legitimate issues, and yet she's also trying her best, in her way. She's doing what we all do, which is muddle through the bullshit and occasionally trying to learn something from it. Sometimes. Maybe.
We'll see!

Even when we know that we do, there's nothing like throwing a party and realizing that your guest list is shockingly short.
However, it all ends up okay! Actually ends up even better than I had expected or hoped, because of Paula, even though she doesn't get the damn credit she deserved.

I really enjoyed this one and I'm super excited to see what other hilarious songs they come up with. 'I'm so good at yoga' is a new classic.

Thanks for listening!]]>3892truefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/crazy-ex-girlfriend-s01e01-josh-just-happens-to-live-here--18125480I'm very happy to hear that the second episode has been commissioned, because I really enjoyed this first episode a great deal. I'm not normally a fan of musicals, but this show hits the exact right note of self-aware ridiculousness that it's charming rather than grating.
