S03.E01: General Breast Theme With Cobras

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

Season 3 begins with Malibu under attack by a trio of armed invaders in hazmat suits, but when the group can't agree on how to thwart it, Melissa takes matters into her own hands, and Tandy gets a fashion lesson.

[Galileo908]

Jon Hamm! and Now he's dead. Kinda fitting that January Jones was the one to off him.

Well, Pat's still nuts, but who was surprised by that? Tandy was actually getting through to him, too.

I fluv Jon Hamm.  

That is all.

[Irlandesa]

That was a great cameo.  It was totally by design that Melissa shot him.  My only regret is that we didn't get to see them actually share the screen, darnit.  They're so pretty together. 

Does anyone know who plays Lewis?

Lewis was played by Kenneth Choi -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0158846/ -- he was also one of the Howling Commandos in the movie 'Captain America'.

Was Pat magic ?  Otherwise, how did he outrun everyone -- AND -- change into his Hazmat suit while somehow getting in front of the A-Team van and block the road ?  Oh, and managed to reload this shotgun ?  

Why didn't they all just bumrush Pat and take him down once his shotgun jammed ?  Pat was vastly outnumbered.

I'm pretty sure Pat is dead or dying -- they hit him with a van AND ran over him.   So why would they have to leave the Malibu house ?

Weeks  ??  It only took weeks for Pat to sail the Northwest passage from Miami to Mailbu.  
Which means it only took weeks for Mike to drive across the country.  They have already discussed how gasoline has turned chunky-style, so how are they still driving around ?  Or where Pat got his fuel from for the trip around the continent ?

What was the point of blowing up the Santa Monica pier with military-grade weaponry ?  Just because.  
If Tandy had those kind of weapons sitting around, what was he waiting for all this time ?

Did the drone from last season belong to Pat ?  Or was that from someone else ?

[butterbody]

Still confused about the drone... But I'm thinking it was unrelated to Pat.

I'm really tired of Tandy being an idiot every week, so maybe they'll shake things up a little and get the gang out of the house and on the run. Having them explore various abandoned sites across the country would be far more interesting. 

[peeayebee]

I couldn't stop laughing when Lewis pulled off Daryl's hood to reveal Jon Hamm. Just absolutely perfect.

Love this show, and I'm so glad it's back.

Kenneth Choi also recently played Judge Ito in The People Vs OJ Simpson.

What's with the title? Melissa with the shot gun was funny and oh RIP John Hamm! 

[cpcathy]

I always seek out spoilers ahead of time (I also tend to read the end of books, then go back and read the rest), but this time I wish I hadn't.

[holly4755]

could the cars be running on the emergency gas substitute in auto stores? just thinking

I keep hoping the brother will still be alive, he did sort of calm tandy down after a while. 

[Gulftastic]

Kenneth Choi was in Sons Of Anarchy along side Mark Boone Junior!

I liked the episode a lot. Todd's overly complicated description of his Mr T key ring made me laugh, as did Tandy's weak 'none of them...' when Pat asked him which bit of him he liked to be shot first.

[Mulva]

I love their auto fleet consisting of the eliminator car, the A-Team van, and Doc Brown's Delorean.  I'm surprised the General Lee and Starsky's Tomato weren't in the driveway.

That was how Pat described the jean-art he did for Phil.

[piequinn35]

oh I missed that, thanks peeayebee

[Traveller519]

Show, you are quirky and bizarre and I love it.

[fauxphysician]

I surprise myself by continuing to watch this show, when I so dislike the Phil/Tandy character. Nothing about him is interesting nor amusing; he takes me out of every scene that he is in.  The concept and the cast are the draw for me, but probably not for much longer!

Do you mean the title of this episode? "General breast theme with cobras" refers to the jeans Pat decorated for Tandy. Which were  . . . actually kind of awesome looking in a weird way.

I agree with you fauxphysician - I'm just really tired of Tandy being an idiot. I don't find it amusing in the least. I like the other characters - and didn't even mind Tandy himself when it was just him and Carol in the first couple of episodes. But now he's like the Zak Galifinakis character in every single movie Zak Galifinakis is in: the absurdly idiotic asshole nobody would never put up with in real life. 

I don't get why they're still calling him "Tandy" either. He clearly hated it when they started doing that, and there's no other Phil around anymore.

[qtpye]

It was so fitting Jan Jones got to take out Don Draper, but damn if I would not of been mad at Melissa for killing that last hot guy on earth...why couldn't it have been Pat.

The problem with Tandy's stupidity, is that it is so predictable.  We all know Tandy will be wrong and no one in the group can tell him otherwise.

On a shallow note...Will Forte is much cuter with a shaved head, instead of the fugly beard.

I finally watched this last night (had a headache Sunday and went to bed early)... at first I thought that Phil and Pat were going to blow up his boat, and then when they blew up the Santa Monica Pier I thought it was hilarious.

It's also good that they remembered that Melissa was in the stocks (because I had forgotten that detail).  But beyond that and shooting Jon Hamm (and looking mighty fine in those pants she had on at the beginning), she seemed to have a very small presence in the show this week.

I'm still having trouble remembering what got her in the stocks.  Also, who were all the other people Phil/Tandy said various others had killed?  I remember that he sort of killed the Will Ferrell character, but he was pointing the finger, rapid-fire, at several others and I'm drawing a blank on that.

[MarkHB]

Now you're making me think (or check Wikipedia)... the graves we saw were Gordon (who was actually "killed" by Carol when she surprised the group) and New Phil (presumably killed by Gail, at least when Phil is casting blame around).  And Melissa was in the stocks for almost shooting Carol (again, thanks WP!)
