This year the actress playing Nell starred as the lead in the romantic comedy "Players" (which I liked enough to watch twice) and in that one they also use this "like him LIKE him" lingo. So I guess it is something Gina Rodriguez carries around with her.

I know I always write about how this show is the highlight of my entire existence but like come on now! That trailer was so good! Watching Penelope work on her confidence like that!? Yes please! Eloise becoming friends with Cressida just to spite Penelope? And the production value of it all? Hell yes. Give it to me all. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I had a really hard time understanding most of what the grandma said. I wish I had subtitles.

Oh wow, what a strong episode. I loved all the alpha / dominance fights between Frank and the teacher. And it was so funny when he joked that Patel eats like a dog or something along those lines. The Bethany - Shred subplot was entertaining as well, and it made perfect sense with both of their characters. They are writing season 2 very well so far.

Watching this episode, I started questioning if the network told the showrunners to make the show more "male appealing" or something like that, there were a lot more male characters in this episode compared to what the show used to have, and they were getting a lot of the screen time as well. I still feel that Lexi's dad is a waste of screen time and not fun to watch, unless when the show deals with Lexi's daddy issues. Yet, we are subjected to watch him so much. That is bad tv. And Nell...do we really need to give her a romance? What for? It's so whatever. Her emotional journey with Phillip last season was a lot more emotionally impactful than whatever they are doing here. The one good part of the episode was Nell trying to follow the dating advice, and gathering advice from social media. That was funny. The rest....not so much. And this show used to be so entertaining.

The showrunner teased the following things as upcoming storylines in season 4 in a new interview: source: https://tvline.com/lists/resident-alien-finale-season-3-episode-8-ending-explained/1235195471/

They must be really confident about that season 4 renewal because this episode opened up a bunch of new storylines without concluding many at all.

It also made no sense. Sure, Bob said it in the heat of the moment, but he already started another business and it was a success. It is time for him to rest. No need to start another company.

I really appreciate that all through the season (so far) they are writing Bob & Abishola as such a cute couple who really get along well. Like in today's episode their scene of thinking about moving to Italy was so sweet but also funny. And it was surprising to see Abishola encourage Bob to relax instead of being productive.

Malcom was really completely stupid in this episode and that was out of character for him, he is usually smarter than that. On the flipside, at least Marty's baby mama was not in the episode. They really don't know how to write the kids dating stories in a good way. Trey had the best lines in the episode.

So many thoughts about this episode. It was really good. The best part was that little kid calling Frank a bitch for walking on the sidewalk 😅 And Shred is just okay with that, he is the protector of the neighborhood. Niceeeeeeeee

With that fight scene I was like what is that, did they want to give all the cast and more minor characters on extra scene to film or what?

Ugh. That 20 seconds was better than my entire year so far. This show is on another level.

Ebun had the status of being a well-known host in her home country. If she valued that so much, she should have stayed there instead of stealing her sister's thing. I liked that Abishola called out Ebun's bs at least. Abishola being happy about being mistreated by her mom was a really cute touch.
