On a scale of 0 to 2, how many boobs did Kristen Bell show this episode?

Geofferson

Where have I recently seen that front desk clerk at the hotel? Pan Am?

Red Dog

Marty's co-workers are tremendously lame, but as long as the stripper is on it and naked, I'm in.

But I would never subscribe to SHO just for this.

MikahC

I thought the episode had an interesting discussion about "fiduciary responsibility".

Coral

Not the show's fault, but I'm getting tired of a story that involves the father having parkinsons/alzheimers/cancer, etc. 4 out of the last 8 books I've read had that as part of the storyline.

DJariya

Damn, what a waste of Peyton List. God damn she looked good, especially in that tight black dress.

Doug and Clyde were so pathetic around her.

You all may remember her from Mad Men and FlashForward.

Now how about that lesbian sex scene with Jeannie and Brenda? I liked how she said she was going to finger fuck Jeannie. Loved when Jeannie drugged her.

Was that a mole on Monica's tit? That thing was so distracting.

Monica is such a bitch. That whole custody thing at the end kind of came out of nowhere.

So Marty has proven to be nothing but I gigantic piece of shit but draws the line at cheating on a girlfriend just so he doesn't have to use a condom?

Evan Meadow

No, the whole point behind it was him actually wanting to be in a relationship with her.

Goat3001

....and my point still stands. He'll do anything to satisfy a client, like insist the one woman on his team have sex with someone. He'll gladly throw aside a study showing that a drug has terrible side effects again to satisfy a client... but he draws the line at cheating? I wouldn't buy that for a dollar.

MikahC

Goat3001, it isn't that he wouldn't cheat, it's that he didn't have to. He put Jeannie up to it, which didn't jeopardize the business and was just fine with his contact. It'd only be inconsistent if he was in danger of losing the business unless he did it and he still didn't.

CRM114

But the stripper was totally willing to still be a in a relationship but WITH a condom. I agree, the premise was stupid.

And if his ex-wife is going to walk in the bathroom naked, I doubt she'd leave her panties on.

Solid episode.

I think this episode showed some of the strongest points of this show. This show is more dark comedy than LOL funny comedy.

Not surprised about Marty's dickhead move on James. Actually James should have known better, but he was way too star struck by Marty. Marty and James interactions were probably the highlight of the episode.

at Jeannie antogonizing the big breasted idiot. Not surprised that Clyde gave her the answer.

at Doug's photos in drag.

Bandoman

All around great episode. I'm wondering if Marty is going to start his own firm, or just push the Richard Schiff character out the door somehow.

Goat3001

I think Jean-Ralphio is my favorite character. His delivery and confusion after getting turned down by that chick was hilarious.

MikahC

Ralphio has consistently great delivery on this series. And I'm still not tired of looking at Kristen Bell. The guest girl of the week was also a hottie, though I didn't think of her as an idiot (she's a Harvard grad) so much as spending too much of her life focusing on her more obvious assets.

Goat3001

The merger storyline seems to be better than first suspected. Now we know that Jeannie is willing to stab Marty in the back. I'm assuming things will turn out good for Marty at the end here, I just wonder if Jeannie will be on his side at the end or not.

CRM114

The episode redeemed the series, for the most part.

Nothing in that synopsis made any sense to me.

Geofferson

Yeah, kind of an odd episode all around. Nothing terribly memorable.

Holy shit, Marty is such a fucking dick.

If any of you kind of hated him prior to this episode, this one will seal the deal. I was actually pissed off after watching this episode.

I don't blame April at all for leaving and especially how he treated her at the end.

And Monica, what a fucking c*** t*** Dawn Olivieri is hot, but the character is such a bitch.

And what the hell is Jeannie's deal with the Rainmaker? at her getting pounded by him.

I'm kind of surprised that Doug and Clyde are actually the most likeable characters on this show.

MikahC

What we're supposed to get from the whole Jeannie thing is that she has daddy issues (in addition to wanting to sleep her way to the top). It felt cliched to me. I'd rather she just be a barracuda.

Mordred

I'm back to hating just about everyone on this show.
