would've made more sense to have swapped episode 1 and 2 around (pamela tells louis she wants a more casual/open thing so THEN he has sex with the pregnant woman) but yeah i know...
they're both as bad as each other obv

the show has always done one-off episodes that don't call back to anything else or even exist in the same universe, but it was still weird to make that one the premiere

Thought this one was unexpectedly sad with that cop.
I had often been annoyed at how he talks about young people so it's funny to see the starting scene.

except since when has the show been concerned with continuity?

liked the Michael Rappaport episode a lot, best one of the season so far imo
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 May 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link
the cop one was like the archetypal louie episode.
starts out in farcical mode, shifts to the comedy of embarrassment with an added element of social satire, but then becomes something much darker and weirder, and makes the most contemptible character a figure of pathos.

making a show where we're supposed to feel sorry for an ignorant, violent cop was more than a little ngggggggggghhcounterpoint that with the almost casual understanding-as-a-given the sheer incompetence of nypd.... the scene with a vanload of cops getting out in front of louis who all ignore the pistol on the ground in front of him seemed like it could be taken as serious thumb in the eyebut rappaport was convincing and the situation was compelling all the same

i don't know if we're supposed to feel sorry for him as much as be aware that he's trying to make us feel sorry for him.

i think the rappaport characters eventualy freak-out and howl of despair was anything but a plea for sympathy (even if the character was clearly intensely self-pitying). and louis ck depicted it almost clinically. i response with a mix of empathy and revulsion.

With respect to Rappaport's character, I'd say 'this is a character you're meant to see as a human being with layers' most definitely did not equate to 'this is a character you're meant to sympathize with'. Because that guy was like the archetype of people I go out of my way to avoid.

I laughed a lot at Louie's brother being convinced he was the older brother. I think he's quite funny in general.

Pamela is trying to be more realistic about their relationship, although her fears (about both of them being just barely still fuckable in mid-40s, "retarded tits" etc) come through very clearly---nevertheless, her hectoring zings etc.(as delivered, anyway) tend to make her seem like a hip variant on the standard sitcom buzzkill hottie wife-mom to the feckless underdog male.

It's simple. Some people separate art from artist easily and some people don't. In this situation, where the grievance is almost certainly true, you don't need to wag your finger at anyone who suddenly doesn't find him funny anymore.

xpost Actually that's right. The finger wagging should be left to the experts. With each passing year they hone their chops—less information, more indignant, faster on the draw. The day can't come soon enough when we can just text our judgments direct to Viacom

People got over/ignored the Woody stuff, wouldn't be surprised to see the same here.
Is this show still any good? I was a flag waving fan early on, but I think I just stopped watching during that Hungarian girl arc a season ago. Show seemed to be getting weaker and weaker as it went on.
