If Fuches theoretically never mentions the girl being a weird feral monster again, Ratsky, could it be taken more as a fevered experience that also just happened to have him bitten on the cheek in a way?
Sorry, this is mostly irrelevant, but can you give me a full picture so I can fix the aspect ratio of your avatar? It's so squished. Edit: Wait I found it, gimme a sec.Ok just caught up, and wow that last episode, that shit was crazy lol
They'll be looking for a guy with a ginger goatee!What an episode! Wow.
"He's dead."
New loose ends are the little girl and cameras in the grocery store.
The show has always managed to ground its silliness within a quasi believable reality, but that was entirely too stupid for me to take seriously. Hoping next week reveals it was all a dream or something.
It was amusing in a "what the fuck am I watching" kind of way, but no it wasn't grounded in the established reality at all. That little girl was a feral ninja with supernatural abilities for fuck's sake and her dad was the Terminator.
I don't think it's how it was written, but I read the surreal nature of the episode after the first fight as Barry's skewed interpretation of things after a couple huge blows to the head.
Just started watching this show last night. Thought I'd just watch the pilot, but ended up burning through three episodes in a row. Noho Hank is a goddamn gem.
Also, man, the struggling-actor deep cuts. All of them. All the time.
Yeah, I realize I'm in the minority here, but this episode was a big "What the hell?" for me that, while fascinating and impressive in certain ways, I didn't totally like as an episode of Barry, a show I very much enjoy. I'd probably be more ok with it if it was just a silly, experimental one-off and Barry woke up at the end or something, but it seems everything we were shown actually happened? Given how over-the-top ridiculous and divorced from reality many of the events and character actions were, I'm not sure I'll be able to take anything in this show as seriously or be as invested going forward. Which is a mild bummer given once upon a time (in season 1) this was a show that deftly balanced laugh-out-loud comedy with incredibly weighty/impactful moments and situations in a way I loved.
Kind of would have preferred that, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Way too many outlandish things to advance the story and get Barry out of a situation than they've ever needed before.
It was inherently silly, but it's pretty much keeping in line with Barry's incredible luck to get out of jams lol
I don't know, maybe so and I just need a rewatch, but it felt like a step beyond that. Like a combination of those incredible lucky things along with surreal absurdity all together to get to that point.
Like it feels like the show that has that scene with Barry and his friend in the car is a totally different one than whoever last episode was.
Yet, it was damn entertaining. I dunno....
The Truth Has a Ring to It
In preparation for his big scene with Sally (Sarah Goldberg), Barry (Bill Hader) works with Gene (Henry Winkler) to help get into character. Sally resolves to embrace her truth. Noho Hank (Anthony Carrigan) prepares for a big night with his newly-trained men. Fuches (Stephen Root) goes on a mission.
After the way they shut everything else down, Fuches is the only thing left on that side of Barry's life. So something is coming.That was a nice return to form, thank god. Hope they actually follow through with Fuches - I would hate if they kept pulling their punches to maintain the status quo.
Give us that deleted scene, please.HADER: Also the initial cut of that episode was like 50 minutes. D'Arcy Carden had this amazing scene in it where Natalie did her truth scene and it was amazing, but we had to cut it for time and it really killed us. She was so good.
