if not, good for him
I would be fine with Always Sunny ending on a high note even if I will miss it
they did a lot of character coda stuff! nothing for Frank or Dee, but the bit with Charlie and the waitress was something. and has anyone noticed that the dude who plays Cricket is a pastor on the other fx show Baskets? as if it exists in some parallel comedy universe or a world before Always Sunny

who was howard up for in Guardians?

Chris Pratt's character. I thought I read somewhere that Rob McElhenney was up for that role too but I can't find anything about it now.

have not read that post yet but calling dennis the moral compass of the show seems like not getting the show to me

he def tries to keep the rest of the gang in line

lol "moral" compass is stretching it tho. voice of reason seems more accurate

great episode and finale, I'm ok with them ending if it has to. They've had a really consistent run.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 10 March 2017 17:20 (seven years ago) link
the line Dennis wants them to toe is uh, some sort of different morality
otm charlie is morally ok but misguided

apparently they have signed on for 2 further seasons but they're taking a hiatus after this season and glenn howerton might not be back for the next season (this has probably been posted upthread)

all the sexist "don't be so emotional" stuff w the waitress + Dee was great, esp contrasted w Mandy who was completely dispassionate the entire time

it was kind of a contrast between women they knew and were increasingly shitty to, versus this woman outside the group they seemed to be bending over backward in an attempt to avoid confrontation over the truth
so many ways of not treating women as human

charlie's precisely as amoral as the rest, just less ambitious or scheming!

This is actually pretty impressive!

Charlie's scheming has really only focused on the waitress and on that subject it has been shown he can get pretty ambitious.

Realizing I was several seasons behind - like, most of them - I've been catching up at a rapid pace, and so far they've all been awesome ... until the start of season 7 (where I'm at). "Jersey Shore" and "Frank's Little Beauties" were both pretty lame and obvious, in both their over their topness and obviousness. I mean, they both had their moments - Jersey Shore in particular - but overall kinda lame. Anyway, I know it will get better, but we were talking about worst episodes and, well, I'm there.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 March 2017 20:07 (seven years ago) link
Jersey Shore worth it just for the um sex scene under the boardwalk
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 March 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link
+ Charlie's beach romance night w the waitress
and drinking sunscreen
― Οὖτις, Monday, 13 March 2017 20:17 (seven years ago) link
Sex scene is the sort of thing I was talking about. Of course they were going to see something like that, just telegraphed. Same with Mac and Frank adrift in the raft (which other show had this same gag, I'm racking my brain ...). Same with Dee's hair in the ride. And armed robbery and murder accessory ridiculous even for this show. I did like Charlie's arc, though by this show's standard of continuity... how could he have never seen the ocean, he was in Atlantic City the previous season.
But yeah, it had its moments, just didn't seem like it was trying at all. Better than Frank's Beauties by far, though.

Archer? Did that have him adrift at sea? No, "Review"!
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 March 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link
Hah, beat me by seconds.
I didn't like Frank's Beauties, no argument there. I do agree Dee and Dennis' crime spree was a bit too OTT.

― lag∞n, Monday, 13 March 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
came to post rum ham, not disappointed when I got to the bottom of the thread
― mh 😏, Monday, 13 March 2017 21:50 (seven years ago) link
Rumham was a very Dumb Homer moment. But, like, even that - it's sort of sideways funny but all the effort to hide booze is just very ... yeah, dumb Homer. I mean, when they revealed the sunblock bottle ruse, I was just counting the seconds to Charlie drinking straight sunblock. When the guy came by the bar to regulate the child pageant, I was just counting the seconds till his reveal as a pedo. And so on.
I dunno, I like the show and I like the Gang (in a way), but now that I think of it, all three eps of season 7 push things a bit too far with lesser results, imo. Including lots of fake blood, now that I think of it. Dee's CGI hair wound, Frank's broken nose, Charlie jet-vomiting blood capsules, all a little too TV-world for me. And this is coming after weeks of binging on past seasons, which I've loved without exception, iirc.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 March 2017 21:56 (seven years ago) link
(Obviously I am being nit-picky, the show is hilarious, just a weird lull I've hit.)

I haven't seen every episode, but Seasons 8 and 9 are pretty solid, so keep going!

― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:50 (seven years ago) link
OK, season 7, episode 4, still a little stiff, though about as well executed a dead baby plot as it could be. And yet, strangely the fourth episode in a row with gross out blood gags, with Dee's bleeding eyes and the decomposed dog. Clearly someone got a bump in the fake blood budget. Wait, and the next one is "Frank's Brother?" Isn't that the consensus worst episode? Man, season 7, you're bringing me down.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 18:15 (seven years ago) link
haha I was just thinking about the Frank's Brother episode earlier. It's... not great, but the main gag is good. And there's no fake blood iirc. (There are a lot of wigs though)
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link
Cool. Trying to put my finger on what is different this time around. All I can think of is the cast all having kids, which to be fair would explain a lot.
