Gregg247 April 4 Share April 4 Very funny episode and they finally fleshed out Connor's character so that he's not such a one-dimensional weirdo. His off-center approach to his crush surprised Georgie AND me. Nice job, Connor! LOL The last few episodes have shown that the actors are feeling comfortable in their roles and really starting to gel. Jim and Audrey come across as a more realistic couple (instead of a Karen and her punching bag). This was alos the first time I thought Mandy was tolerable. She's usually so ticked off about one thing or another. This time, she was in on the fun. For me, this show has gone from "I'll give it a try but I don't expect much" to "Yeah, it's not bad" to "Oh boy, Georgie and Mandy is on tonight!", all in a single season! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8625865

Oh nothing earth shattering or dramatic. Just this episode, for me, while it was fine just wasn't particularly interesting. Felt like a filler episode - and in a brand new show with mighty few episodes under their belt at that they really shouldn't be doing filler episodes. I agree that we've learned a bit more about Connor but nothing that's made me like him any better. I guess what we have learned, or certainly has been confirmed, in this episode is don't trust Georgie to keep your secrets.

possibilities April 5 Share April 5 (edited) I think this is not the kind of show based on a major on-going story arc. It's more like the old style of sitcom with each episode being more or less a "vignette". There is SOME development of character or story, but mostly each episode is a moment in time and a slice of life.

iarwain April 5 Share April 5 I'm glad some people enjoyed it. I just didn't care so much about Connor's love life. It might be more interesting to see him get his life together before seeing who he's dating. I'm not even sure I quite bought that he had it in him, based on what we've seen so far. They seem to send the message that he's capable of doing whatever he wants to do. The next question is so why isn't he doing it? I guess he'll probably end up being a musician of some sort. They seemed to hint that maybe he's played some gigs, even, which again seems like a minor surprise. Eh, I don't know. It's like Penny's acting career in TBBT. It's nice she had her dreams, but I'd prefer to see something more grounded. I guess having these lovable (?) underdogs/underachievers is some sort of Chuck Lorre thing? We didn't see these in Young Sheldon, so maybe I got out of the habit of seeing them. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8626771
possibilities April 5 Share April 5 I think he is doing what he wants to do. He's not doing more because nobody asks him to. They established that in an earlier episode, when he did a bunch of chores and was asked why, if he's so capable of doing them, he never did them before, and he said "because no one asked me to". His mother apparently enjoys infantilizing him. I'm not saying a lack of ambition is a great thing, but then again he doesn't seem unhappy, and I bet a lot of people would "retire and pursue hobbies" if they had the means. I actually find him to be one of the more likable characters on the show. Not because he's loafing off this parents, but because he's not always complaining and he's generally easy to be around. Everybody else is either irritable or stressed most of the time. If I was his parent, I would expect him to get a job (we saw he can do that because he did it briefly in another episode). But just from a viewing perspective, I find him enjoyable. He is so *reasonable* all the time. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8626789

That would be interesting, but there probably a limited number of episodes they can use to tell that story. I imagine they don't want to get into that during the first season. Plus if Georgie starts his own tire business, do they move out of Mandy's parents' house? The series seems to be set up to revolve around her family mostly. In the meantime, just working for Jim shows that Georgie is learning the business. Maybe they could move him up to an office job, or maybe have him open a branch store? Lots of possibilities. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8626829

Yeah No April 6 Share April 6 I've been noticing and commenting all season so far on how they're finding a direction with Connor and it looks like they're normalizing him somewhat. Not altogether, but just enough to make him likable and not weirdo-strange. He's a little quirky like the BBT characters, maybe even less quirky as time goes on. I find him interesting, not boring. He has interests and talents. He marches to a different drum than his family but he isn't without his merits. I don't find it out of character for him to have had sex or previous girlfriends. Still waters run deep and he may not be like he seems on the surface. I like the fact that it's feeling a little surprising because they have set us up to think that he would be less experienced and able to pursue a relationship than he's turning out to be. I also liked the song he wrote and played. And when the girl sang to it, it really did sound sort-of 90's-ish. I appreciated that too. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8627355

Yeah, but, probably more so: since Connor isn't a "main" character (yet?) I guess they needed Georgie in the scene to tie it into the show's universe. Also, it seemed more like a hastily thrown together bit to give Georgie his requisite number of lines per episode: [CONNOR] There's this girl. [GEORGIE] Okay. [CONNOR] She works at the music store. [GEORGIE] Uh-huh. [CONNOR] I'm thinking of asking her out. [GEORGIE] But? [CONNOR] I'm not sure how it'll go. [GEORGIE] All right. I've been there. You ever talk to her? [CONNOR] Yes. [GEORGIE] How does that go? [CONNOR] Unclear. [GEORGIE] Why? [CONNOR] Well, she's nice to me, but she might just be nice to me because I'm a customer. Although sometimes she's nice to me even when I don't buy things, but she might just be hoping I'll come back and buy something. [GEORGIE] Yeah, "unclear" really summed it up. How can I help?

possibilities Thursday at 01:30 AM Share Thursday at 01:30 AM I thought the conversation ending with "unclear" was funny. It also showed that Connor has some social awareness-- way more than Sheldon, for example. He understands about the store's employee having to be friendly, thus making it harder to read how she really feels. He understands that it can help to have a "wingman" to make the situation less awkward. And he is nevous, because he's taking an emotional risk. Whatever the source of his quirkiness, it's not the same as whatever is the source of Sheldon's quirkiness. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152729-s01e15-goddess-of-the-music-store/#findComment-8631121
