Quintus 5,399 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He HAS to get back with Cheryl in order to make the return worthwhile. Incidentally, Mary Steenburgen is still a total fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,358 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Not a chance that will happen. He's very bitter towards his real life exwife her character is based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Get out of here - Larry in the show is devoted to Cheryl! I'll be very surprised if the whole plot doesn't revolve around his hapless attempts (and eventual success) at getting her back. Otherwise there'd be no point in having her back in the first place, she'd be redundant. Her largely absent presence was felt in the last season, and I suspect David has had that fact communicated to him just plenty since it aired. Cheryl was the anchor for the entire Larry character, she's the reason we stay on his side, the reason the show worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,358 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 They already devoted a season to him trying to win her back. Not a chance they'd repeat that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Not really. The show repeated itself every season up until the last one, where he was single (or dating). And it was the weakest of the lot by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,358 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 By FAR? I wouldn't go that far. The first 2 seasons weren't as good as everything that followed from what I recall. I love all the seasons! And I think there is more comedy to be mined from Larry dating someone new every week, than there is from another season-long arc about trying to win her back. At this point they broke up NINE YEARS ago, what would be in it for her to get back with him after all this time? Surely in the world of the show she'll have a new husband.

Regardless, I'm a handful of episodes in, and although I feel it's moving a bit too fast story-wise (not sure how they managed 37 episodes of this concept at this rate), it's very intriguing and well designed/animated. Don't worry. There's plenty of twists and turns ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The first episode of Black Mirror season 3, with a brilliant and utterly beautiful Bryce Dallas Howard in her best role yet of the things I've seen so far, as directed by Joe Wright. This was one of Black Mirror's most striking episodes and a promising way to begin the return of what is now a "Netflix original" (and the welcome production values which come with that), rather than Channel 4. Unfortunately the second episode wasn't very good. What should have been an interesting metaphor for Alzheimer's disease was instead a heavy-handed, very gimmicky house of horrors and a terribly OTT performance from the lead character who was guilty of taking the art of overacting to the next level and who almost had me reaching for the remote. Here's hoping that was the one weak entry out of the way then (previous series had one too), because this show remains the great Twilight Zone replacement of our day, but with much more in the way of social commentary smarts rather than that old series of schlocky "what ifs?" in the late of the night. .. And now Big Bang Theory again, and after what was a shockingly shit first few episodes of the latest season, the writers seem to have sorted there act out again pretty suddenly actually and the comedy groove is firmly back where I expect it to be. Episode 7 in particular was one of the funniest ever, an instant classic. Following on from that the gag counter is firing on all cylinders as convincingly as any beloved American sitcom still in its prime. .. Oh and episode 3 of The Walking Dead. It's rubbish.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It's a character building episode, to make us respect Dwight a little. This season is another slow burn that will have an inevitably unsatisfying conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If they don't put a swift stop next season to this new trend of playing songs over fucking montage scenes I'm going to be calling time on The Walking Dead. Somebody obviously thought it'd be cool and soulful to introduce a pop factor into what was once savoured as a grimy and brutal world, but they've made a huge miscalculation with it and the tone is all wrong. It just doesn't work, and it makes everything feel current and crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,346 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The Simpsons season 11. Not only is the quality declining, they're not even bothering to deny it. Famous guest stars do not impress me if you use them every five minutes. And I'm really getting sick of that one woman voicing all the women, she literally did two roles in one episode at one point. Why? Oh and why did Maude die again? Badly executed and pointless. Not to mention the countless absurd, forced episode endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
