Haha, really good epsiode. Wendie Malick was adorable as this week's ghost. The line about choking to death on your own politeness was very poignant.
"What did I do in 2016" - "Turn 40?" . that exchange was just so good!
And also the moment when Nell thought she was a hot monster 🤣

I really like how they are handling Ava's character growth this season. Her changes are meaningful and believable, still in-keeping with her original characterization.

It felt like the strike storyline was directly inspired by the writer's strike.

I am confused. Did the writers think it was going to be good television turning Marty into such a bumbling, scared idiot who is mistreated by this random woman, whose acting ability is nothing to write home about by the way? It sucks there is such a big focus on this storyline, it's annoying, not entertaining.

Question: why was Isaac excited about it being wednesday and sorting mail? Did I miss a joke is the joke that he is excited about such a mundane task because in his time receiving letters was a bigger deal?

So the greys were here to find Ben? All those shoes and Yellowstone connection means that he was previously abducted as a kid and now they’re back to get him again. But why?

Janine and Jacob's drug use seems inconsistent with their characterization on the show so far.

I really liked the part where Edward made Nell face the facts about her situation. It is just a fact that the clock is ticking, even if she does not like that. And it was nice that at the end the show pointed out that things are not as bleak as they may seem at first glance.

This season is off to such a rocky start. You know what? Just take the baby to Calgary and save us from this stupid storyline, please. The only good scene here was Malcolm and Janelle's faux marriage.

Wow, everyone was so unlikeable in this episode except for Bob, Abishola & Olu.
Ebun & Dottie: their speech about men becoming crybabies and their friends dying was incredible selfish and lacked empathy.
Dele was really annoying when Bob caught him coming home in the middle of the night. When did he turn into such a brat?
And Tunde telling Olu how to drive. I loved that she made him get out of the car. No need to put up with that crap.

Did the actor playing Tariq lose weight? Suddenly, he was very hot.

Wow, she was trying to make it as an actor for 17 years? That is some determination.

Wow, Lauren Ash is just acting her heart out this season. He does these understated emotional scenes in her father's presence so well. I love it.
And Nell is amazing at conveying the messages of the dead to their loved ones in a way that is acceptable but still gets the point through. That is really cool. I liked how they set up her relationship with the guy and the reason for him not being ready for a relationship at that moment also made total sense.

Yeah that's pretty dumb. Apparently they made that storyline because the actor playing Marty had a daughter in real life and it inspired the showrunners.

Ok it was weird his mom sister and brother were nowhere to be seen
As per the guidelines of the new season, only Bob & Abishola will be in all episodes. The other characters will be in a maximum of 5 episodes this season this was announced very well in advance.
And it's all for the better! What a lovely episode this was. Just the focus on the core characters, and the storyline had a chance to breathe. I am surprised they started with such a heavy subject, but since it's the final season I guess they have no time to spare.
Too bad that Abishola gave in to Dele's foolish dreams, but since this is a sitcom of course they have to support his stupid aspirations. By every objective metric Dele should choose a different career, but I am sure we will end on a happy ending for him, because sitcom magic.

I am so not trusting Manny and the other two.
14 hours ago, DanaK said:Yeah, the 3 district visitors, especially their leader, were giving me major negative vibes. The leader says all the right things but I just don't trust any of them.
12 hours ago, possibilities said:So far the district people haven't done anything bad, but I agree there is something that makes them hard to trust.
I'd like to talk about this because so many people are pointing out that the 3 district administrators must be secretly evil / seem too good to be true. But when Manny and Jeanine were talking it turned out that they visit the same teaching-related discussion forum and have very similar ideologies. These are things that people do in their down-time. If Manny spends his own time there and Jeanine even recognized him in a positive way from his online posts, that means he is genuine. There is no faking that sort of background, it wouldn't make sense.
If things go wrong with the administrators it will be because higher powers prevent them from helping, they become jaded / burnt out / or tempted by financial prospects, not because they are secretly evil and are lying to everyone.
However, this show wants to be optimistic and show a positive example of what could be possible in an ideal world so I don't think anything hugely bad is going to happen. This is a sitcom but also the show's goal is to have positive real world impact and that is achieved by modelling ideal behavior. It takes after Schitt's Creek in that way.
So I don't think we need to be so suspicious about those 3.

I loved the moment when Duncan paid Leslie a compliment and how shocked she was by that. And they actually had a nice conversation afterwards.
I also liked Nico Santos as the ghost here. It was very refreshing to see him in a role that is not a horrible human being like his stint on Superstore was.

I am sooooo excited for this. I re-watched season 1 not long ago and it's even better on repeat viewings. Holds up very well.

I just saw clips of this online and wow what a waste of a show this was. Utter nonsense and in the end turned out to be pointless as well, she was not even really abused.

Is it true we are getting a season 4?

Do you guys have an idea of what Rick's upbringing was like? Did he also have really smart parents or are they average and he was just born super smart somehow? Would be really interesting to know more about Ricks backstory, his experience growing up and how his relatives dealt with him.
It's weird that the show went on for 7 whole seasons and this is completely unexplored.

I hope not. It's a sitcom, not an afternoon special - or a Hallmark movie.
Well, there have been multiple emotionally hard-hitting scenes in the series:
- When Edward tells Nell not to be with Philip
- When Nell realizes she doesn't feel anything
- When Nell tells Edward not to hide who he is from his date
- And the big one, when Nell Tells Sam about Her Miscarriage
Like hello? Have we watched the same show? This one is not like one of those zany surface level shows which only goes for the jokes, it also has a heart. It's like "Mom" in that way and those scenes usually have an even bigger impact because we have grown to like the characters in the comedic scenes.

Well, a gap of more than two years is a bit shit. I wonder what that's about as it can't be good for ratings. Plus, this is a show that's perfectly suited to Christmas viewing. Id much rather the show dropped in December than in June.
Hey, at least it hasn't been cancelled! But jesus, that's a very low bar for what I thought was Netflix's biggest ratings winner.
I wonder if Benedict and Eloise will each get their own season now, given the very slow pace. Maybe we'll get a combo season instead.
With the current release schedule, we would get the final season in 2035. Yeah that's a big no.

S05.E05: Tayo Time
in Bob ❤️ Abishola (Bob Hearts Abishola)
The series will probably end with Bob & Abishola moving to that town where the school is and they are saving this plotline for the finale.
