If anyone wants to have "Cupid" discussion, this is probably a better place than Procedurals... threads without topic are like sex without spanking.

Ahahaha.

Thanks for moving us over erika. I wasn't sure comedy quite fit the bill considering how much Dram there is in this particular dramedy. But, yeah. Anywhere it fits is good with me.

While sucking up the Piven/Cupid episodes last night, I was completely charmed and re-impressed with Harry Groener's song and dance ep. He is clearly a natural...and carried off the fine line between poignant and optimistic with great grace.

I also loved how they kept the mystery about Trevor's identity. Each time the other characters had a 'gotcha' moment, there ended up being a logical explanation for how their thinking was wrong. The writers didn't go to K-Paxland with it and I appreciate that. (unless, of course, they did and I experiences hysterical blind/deafness to lalala right past it.)

Plow King lives!

I enjoyed that too, bonny. They're very clever about it, too. There are some great bits in one of the unfilmed scripts.

ETA: I absolutely agree that this is not the perfect fit, but maybe Claire is right about adjusting expectations. Trevor, otoh, would be wanting to join in sex-toy chat in Bitches without introducing himself in the slightest.

Very subtle. A cynical person might say therein lies the Fail, but then the reboot, imo, was broader and still not successful.

But then there is only one Piven and Marshall and Thomas never did get to make them one of the couples looking for love like he wanted.ETA: You know, I read the scripts and retain nothing of the experience...reading scripts is not fun since I've undertaken to write one. Either it's my shitty spec, someone else's shitty spec(those are sort of encouraging, in a schadenfreude way) or it's something so good there's this voice in my head that says "You could kill yourself before you write anything half this good, right?" Although I didn't realize it affected my reading comprehension so profoundly. Billy Walsh fail.

I like that they didn't set Alex up to be either a jerk, or completely not sexy. Not that it takes much in rom-com shorthand to be established as not-sexy...it's (sarcasm font)totally fun (/sarcasm font)for me to note that any obvious physical flaw(especially allergies, for some reason) can be enough to establish a character as a non-sexy killjoy of the highest order.

Brock Ness monster

It was good to see Brock again. And 24!

And Hatred was only mildly annoying.
