    My favorite line last night: "He was taking uppers, downers, sidewinders."

    I'm really starting to like guy who plays Todd. Good comedic timing and delivery.

    He was pretty good on "Better Call Saul" too.

    Oh, is he in that? Nice! I just watched the first episode on Netflix but forgot I need to follow up with the rest.

    He's in one episode. But it's a good one. They all are.

    He's actually in 2. The first one just in a flashback in the opening. Short, but important to understand everything in the episode he is in. And I agree, he is great.

    I liked last week's episode but this one was painful to watch. It's like it's become a Will Forte vanity project. I think I've hit my Tandy limit.

    Another very funny moment from the latest episode:

    Phil tuning the guitar before performing his song (without actually playing the guitar).

    I loved that too. He looked like Hendrix or (insert guitarist here) seriously tuning his guitar. Then he just uses the back to play his made up song. The women's faces made that hilarious!

    Agreed. Thought it was terrible.
    Would have been a lot better if January Modled those boots.

    So the show had a very long mid-season hiatus, came back for a mere two episodes, and is now on another three-week hiatus. I'm guessing it's not doing so hot in the ratings and wonder if it'll even get a third season. If it's not renewed, I hope they're able to wrap the story up in at least a semi-satisfying way at the end of this season.

    Are those numbers good, bad, or just "okay?"

    Five times as good as the numbers for "Vinyl"...

    If Fox didn't really believe in the show they wouldn't have allowed this to happen...well, that's what I like to believe >>>

    "...this just continues the tradition of Last Man thinking outside of the box and trying to be as anti-sitcom as possible. I spoke a lot about how gorgeous the cinematography in space looked, but this ocean stuff is on a whole other level. I’ve been told that this episode was $800,000 over budget and a big contention point for FOX, so please appreciate the incredible cinematography and grandeur you’re getting here."

    Noteworthy moment:

    The scene where Carol confronts Todd and gives him a kiss >>>

    "Kiss of death (mafia)

    The kiss of death (Italian: Il bacio della morte) is the sign given by a mafioso boss or capo that signifies that a member of the crime family has been marked for death, usually as a result of some perceived betrayal. However much is based on fact and however much on the imagination of authors, it remains a cultural meme and appears in literature and films. Illustrative is the scene in the film The Valachi Papers when Vito Genovese (Lino Ventura) gives the kiss of death to Joe Valachi (Charles Bronson) to inform him that his betrayal of "the family" is known, and that he will be executed.

    The "kiss" has also been used as a terror tactic to aid in extortion or debt collection by reducing victims to a state of panic where they will commit to anything to save their lives."

    That's because it's not on Netflix.

    I've been wanting to see this show, but I don't bother with anything but streaming now... And I don't think I'm the minority on that. Cable is a rip-off.
