Yeah, I laughed out loud at that scene.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ZEP
They started out cringeworthy, then moved to one of my favorite songs, then moved into "Oh, hell no!" territory, all in the opening.
That is soooo far beyond watch-from-the-hall for me, on several levels. Maybe I'll try watching the rest this weekend on the web site, when I can skip around. and pause, and take things in very small segments.

Oh dear, I haven't watched the latest one yet. Sounds, yikes! A couple episodes ago when DH watched with me he asked why I said this was a comedy.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes, it was a pretty heavy episode. And the comic relief part was pretty cringey.
On the other hand — trying not to spoil — the last musical number was a brilliant reimagination of a very familiar song. Almost unrecognizable in a good way.

Agreed on all the above.
Certainly not a comedy. If I have thoughts on further episodes, I'll put them in Natter.

So I just realized, Max & Mo's restaurant is pretty much a slight updating of the restaurant that "the gang" tried to fix and drove out of business on Seinfeld

Finally watched the episode. I thought it was more amusing than some this season. It could be because the boss reminds me a lot of an old boss of mine. I was disappointed that there wasn't a big finale number with the whole group when Simon gave his news conference. I saw all the people and was excited for a big ensemble dance number. I like the characters, but mostly I am there for the song and dance!
I want to restaurant to get going because I feel it has lots of potential for stories, and lots of room for choreography.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Because I'm always behind when it comes to watching stuff, I started watching Schitt's Creek last week. My 100% shallow comment is: Eugene Levy can still GET IT.
I said what I said.

That's fair

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Checks out.
