John from Cincy Thread

[youtalkfunny]

JOHN: Bill is not Freddy's first Bill...And Freddy is not Bill's first Freddy.

Anybody care to hazard a guess about Butchie's pantomime act regarding the bubble-wrap on Bill's stairs?

My first guess: Protection against Bill accidentally bumping his head.

My second guess: Protection against those times that Bill loses his mind, and repeatedly rams his head against something that is about forehead-high.

BILL: I'm here on my bird's orders.

FREDDY: If you're waiting for me to ask you what you mean by that, you may as well drop dead.

BILL: My bird conveyed to me that despite our dissimilarities, we should be friends.

FREDDY: Your bird used the word 'dissimilarities'?

BILL: No. I never said he spoke. He conveyed.

(This one was Al Bundy's best episode. I can't wait to watch it again.)

[drunk post, sorry]

my favorite plot threads, ranked

1. anything JFC
2. the kid, the chosen one
3. levitation/blondie
4. Ex-Doctor Ex-Doubting Thomas
5. Butchie/Kai
6. burgeoning relationship b/t Al Bundy and Hawaiian Paulie Walnuts
7. gay hotelier + Maurice TT Rodriguez + glabrous dude + room 24
8. Al Bundy/parrot/slightly stilted writing
9. Luke Perry postmodern sideburns/machiavellian yawn
10. Hawaiian mafia

also: OMG is this thread asleep on the job? JFC got stabbed in the side, sound familioar? OMG Cincinnati the city was named after an ancient Roman dictator. OMG each week the show gathers disciples. Wow someone takes the name of the lord in vain every five seconds. I do wonder how they're going to work Lucifer in, O/U is 2.5 more episodes.

I loved that conversation. Freddy and Bill add a lot to this show even if I have no idea what Freddy is doing now...

You know, I can't understand WTF the actors are saying half the time nor am I overly impressed by any of the acting, which looks like something that came out of a high school drama rehearsal, but I'm still very much into this show. I think it's because of the tone and the promise of greater things to come.

The acting really does keep getting worse. I'm starting to get it with Shaun. He's supposed to sound really awkward because he is really awkward. It's still off putting, but I get it. I've known kids like that in real life.

Kai is awful. Just so bad. The acting leading up to her jumping Butchie was cringe-worthy.

The best thing about this show is Ed O'Neill and the drug dealer from Hawaii, so I'm really excited about their pairing. I think Ed O'Neill has been phenomenal from the get-go. He's doing a wonderful job.

I agree with Barry, generally. The acting gets to me at times, but there's still enough intrigue in it for me to find the show enjoyable.

I think he was saying his wife died, so now Uncle Bill is overly safe. I couldn't tell whether those stairs had anything to do with the death or not. I didn't get that impression.

Am I totally missing something or do you mean Ed O'Neill?

[kidcolin]

[censored].. yeah. Thank you. Fixing it.

Didn't really like the ep.

I would guess the woman at the end was Shaun's mom.

Did Bill's wife kill herself? Is that what Butchie was whispering to Kai in his house? I didn't catch it and although I watch the show I don't like it enough to go back over it for the nuance.

Bill's scenes were great, I loved his random cursing of Clinton when he got the tape stuck on his lip.

[Hopey]

Ugh...I'm really disappointed with the show. Could they possibly pace it any slower? I spend half the episode looking at my watch waiting for it to be over.

The way the characters interract with each other just isn't believable, and the acting is terrible for the most part. Kai and Shaun are particularly terrible, but the rest of the actors aren't much better -- which I'm sure is partly to do with the tongue-twisting dialogue that Milch has them soliloquizing each week.

So Shaun's grandfather can float, and has shown this ability to a few different people. Do you not think that the people witnessing this ability would have been a little less blase about it? They're surprised at first but then they go on with their lives. WTF?

Also, it looks like Milch is spoonfeeding us the fact that John (JFC) is the second coming of Jesus...he's gathering disciples, getting stabbed in the side, healing people, yadda yadda yadda...but why does he also need to be a retard? If I hear him say "I'm dumping out" one more time, I'm going to scream.

I have really grown to hate this show...yet I'll be watching it like a sucker again next week because I want to see where it goes. Argh.
