... holy shit omg I need to buy tickets for DC. Anyone want to go with me?
That's one way to see it. Similar to how Paula was set up to be the "rival" at the beginning of the series but she became Rebecca'sI like Trent as a contrast to Rebecca because in a lot of ways he is heavily playing against the stereotype. He's an obsessive and delusional crazy person, but he's not the Dangerous Stalker type where pushing back against him puts Rebecca in any real physical peril. He's clearly framed as unstable in this episode, but at the same time his only real threat is letting people know Rebecca really tried to hire a hitman to take out Nathaniel's girlfriend. A more balanced and adjusted person would probably actually take that information to Rebecca's therapist, or something. Trying to blackmail her into a relationship is crazy, but Trent's much less of a threat than even Rebecca herself--see her lying to Paula and putting Paula at risk to cover her own ass. They have Rebecca explicitly make it clear he is very big on consent. And when she crosses a line with him, he removes himself from the situation instead of clinging to her forever. There's even the potential that part of his escalating crazy is just him trying to emulate what he's seen Rebecca willing to do for True Love.
I dunno, I just like how the show remains committed to taking characters in directions you wouldn't expect, and I like that they resisted making Trent a Lifetime movie of the week stereotype the same way they've resisted making Valencia the stereotypical bitchy girlfriend.
I love Trent too.
Who I don't love is Valencia's girlfriend.
I like the she has one. And I like what it's doing for her character.
But the actress they picked just isn't working for me.
My OkCupid profile for the next month is just gonna be one sentence:
"Have orchestra tickets to see Crazy Ex-Girlfriend live. Need +1"
Happy Valentine's day.
I believe the rule is still a week after it finishes airing so next Friday
Usually 1-2 month after the full season is out.
*Fixes hair*
Well hello there :P
(Sadly out of town when in NYC)
The songs of Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, typically written by Bloom, Jack Dolgen, and Adam Schlesinger, have been great since the beginning. They've never been just jokes, even when they are jokes. But three seasons in, the way those songs are revisited has changed. Perhaps "changed" isn't the right word—"evolved" might be better.
That was a heartbreaking finale.
Also Josh punching Nathaniel gave me LIFE
The ending was horrible. Yes the show is far from realistic, but they at least try to keep the law stuff a little bit real when there is no singing involved. The judge would have just interrupted Rebecca's monologue and demanded a simple guilty or not guilty plea. Why is a Corporate attorney defending her instead of a criminal defense attorney? A criminal defense attorney would know the insanity defense never works and the proper plea would have been not guilty because of defense of others (ie, Nathaniel). Maya, George, and Tim all saw Trent with the knife holding it above Nathaniel's back - why else would someone be holding a knife above someone's back when their back was turned, it wasn't in preparation to cut meat FFS.... A carving knife can still significantly injure someone if plunged into their back (yes not the best choice to kill someone with but it blends in as a waiter at a party). Rebecca's attorney could have also subpoena'd Instagram to get a record of the death threat, and shown the police Trent's Rebecca shrine if it still existed and if destroyed Paula could have been deposed regarding its existence. Very sloppy writing, not quite as bad as Barry's trial on the Flash lol.
Paula really is the best character on top of the best singer!

We were robbed a song because Nathaniel's actor was sick! BOooooooooooo.
Too bad, it would have alleviated at least one of the problems I had with the episode (we're moving in together ! => We broke up, she was not my type).
The split was telegraphed hard with the carpet store scene near the startPaula really is the best character on top of the best singer!

From the outset, McKenna and Bloom envisioned Crazy Ex-Girlfriend as a four-season show. "There are very few shows where you're like, 'Oh you've got to really watch season seven.' It's like, 'Eh,'" says Bloom. "We're going through four different cycles: denial; love; turned on him; rebuilding. It was always in those four stages."
