Aulty October 4, 2019 Share October 4, 2019 Quote When Amy hires Dina's nemesis Colleen, Dina blackmails Garrett into making Colleen's life a living hell.

Kiddvideo October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 This is the show I liked, though I didn't understand why Dina would act nice to Colleen when Dina doesn't pretend to like anyone. A lot happened in the 30 minutes, and it felt true to form. I hope Colleen makes appearances and is not just talked about. And did I miss Glen the Robot? I thought he'd be a background character if nothing else. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5667550
gesundheit October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 I liked how they illustrated that Mateo really was damn good at his job. I'd kind of assumed that, just that he was too much of a snob to ever not be good at something. Really have no clue how his story will play out though. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5667705
iMonrey October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 Garrett just can't keep it in his pants, can he? Trying to remember where I know Colleen from, she looks so familiar. Did Dina ever say why she hated her so much? OMG she's carrying around a bag of meth for just such occasions. Marcus trying desperately to be Jonah's friend was very similar to Jerry trying to connect with Garrett last week. He's in a band . . . by himself. LOL. I really liked Amy standing up to Dina and threatening to write her up in front of Colleen. She found her Achilles heel. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5668119

It was bothering me all through the episode so I looked her up and the actress Heidi Gardner is on SNL, but I don't think I've even seen her there. Finally I decided that she's familiar to me because she looks so much like Kristen Schaal. Happy to see the return of the bizarre shopper scenes with guy who decides that in the middle of Cloud 9 is a great place to cut his toenails. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5668150
Lois Sandborne October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 So we meet Colleen! I know there's humor in having her be innocuous and actually kind of cool, so Dina's hatred can reach maximum absurdity, but I would've preferred having some kind of reason for Dina disliking the woman enough to want to plant meth on her. Even if the reason itself was ridiculous. Genuine LOL at Amy going, "aw," and wanting to pat Jonah on the shoulder when he called himself tall, and then just walking away. This was a good episode for her in general, being firm with Dina as controlling the burgeoning Dina/Colleen/Garret triangle as well. Mateo popping up at the store every once in a while makes sense for now, especially with Marcus staying at his aunt's house, but I do wonder what the long game is there. Are they saving Sandra's wedding for sweeps? 17 minutes ago, iMonrey said: Trying to remember where I know Colleen from, she looks so familiar.

iMonrey October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 At some point during this episode I began to wonder if Dina secretly got all her birds back and isn't telling anyone so she can continue to hold it over Garrett's head. Bird do home, after all, so it's not out of the question that at least some of them would have found their way back to her. I think it would be funny if Garrett or someone showed up unexpectedly at her apartment and discovered all the birds were back. 1 4 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5668162
tennisgurl October 11, 2019 Share October 11, 2019 I love the cut aways to weird customers doing weird things, it always seems like something that someone in retail really did see someone doing. So we finally meet Colleen and she is just a nice normal person, which makes Dina's hatred of her both petty and kind of even more hilarious. I hope that she shows up again sometimes, or at least gets mentioned. Amy is really coming into her own as a manager which is great to see. Managing Dina is tough, and it seems like Amy has figured out a way to do it, more or less. I also loved when she patted Jonah on the arm when he called himself tall.

aradia22 November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 Thank God Amy stood up to Dina early on. I don't think I could have stood for Dina being terrible after the last episode. Amy was great this episode overall. Got a good laugh out of Marcus' desperation to be friends with Jonah. I don't enjoy malice but characters obliviously making life harder on other characters is totally fine. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101014-s05e03-forced-hire/#findComment-5727541
