for me the hokey bum note in the show was the super predictable nerd-fawns-over-Star-Trek-cast-member plot in the S1 finale

huh idk the draft coverage they were watching seemed chintzy but idk i thought it was nicely kinda campy and gave all the characters enough to do throughout
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
true but it was redeemed for me by "it's the...talking" in the bathroom scene. especially when in a later episode roman gets all self-conscious when someone else is trying to talk to him while he's trying to piss.

sin say shun vs. hs reunion for me

was it the gay wedding one where ron is in the back of the van drunk and blubbering? thats prob. the best scene in the whole series.

sixteen episodes in & it will take some srs reflection for me to properly vote in this poll. Dunno if it is my overall fave so far, but I just watched "Not On Your Wife Opening Night" & I thought all of the intricately overlapping cases of mistaken identity were brilliantly handled - that sort of slapstick usually leaves a bad taste w/ me, but they totes pulled it off.
― death kebab of DEATH (Pillbox), Friday, 9 July 2010 05:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Could be. Two things: Ron's plea to Henry to promise him that it's all worth something, and Henry shooing Casey away, and her saying, "I wanna watch!"
― kenan, Friday, 9 July 2010 05:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Also a sloppy-drunk Ron throwing it in Henry's face that he gave up, which is harsh enough, but then immediately turning it on himself because people still like Henry and nobody likes Ron, which is harsh plus deeply pathetic. Pathetic in the common meaning, and also the Greek one. Yeah, that scene is the center of the series.

does anyone else love the company picnic ep? i like uda even more since i started watching veronica mars. also like how what finally brings them together as as team is wanting to beat valhalla. kyle and roman paling it up for the caterer obstacle course prank was cute. would read party down slash :x
lots of good lines too - "you're a wizard at making women uncomfortable"
also watched sin say shun again... definitely one of the best. has pretty much all of my favorite parts of the show -- sad and cringe-inducing ron, fun but ultimately disappointing henry/casey dynamics, drugs, roman and kyle competition, hollywood weirdness -- but almost no constance! like i wanted to see her counseling casey after her e trip went wrong or something. and the last scene might be my favorite henry moment. which one is the surprise?? it bugs him so much!

not much constance in the great sin say shun ep, but her response to being asked about E is one of my all time favorite moments
― symsymsym, Monday, 12 July 2010 02:27 (thirteen years ago) link
My fave moment in the Sin show is actually the little agitated lonely dance Henry is left doing in the deserted club.
I love this show, but I can't tell if it's because of or despite the fact that it's basically just a half hour of people ripping on each other. Particularly Ron, who is a big David Brent punching bag, though along those lines thank god this isn't another fake documentary.

I do love the Guttenberg episode, though, especially for Guttenberg himself. Rationally I know he can't possibly be that much of a nice person, because it's impossible, but damnit if I didn't want to give him a hug after I watched that ep.
― kenan, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 05:37 (thirteen years ago) link
That episode undid the damage to Guttenberg's reputation that that Stonecutters song on The Simpsons did in 1995.
― kenan, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 05:42 (thirteen years ago) link
frankly, the blame was on us, for his stardom and the holding back of the electric car.

I enjoyed the episode's jabs at his narcissism (or probably just his character's narcissism). "Do you know who said that?" "Steve Guttenberg?" "Yes."
The art and wine were amazing, and he seals up the deal with stealing Kyle's female friend at the end. A+
― turtles all the way down (mh), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 13:39 (thirteen years ago) link
his narcissism (or probably just his character's narcissism)
No, it's probably his. The only reason for a 50-yr-old man to stay that cut is enormous self-regard or homosexuality. I hope to look like that when I'm 50, but I fear I lack the self-regard.
― kenan, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 14:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, you could always give homosexuality a try
