[Rushmore]

Very surprised at the reactions so far. I almost turned this one off somewhere close to the middle, seems I'm getting impatient with it, so much of the show was basically Larry retelling things that already happened/defending himself which is repetitive not only in the episode but for the whole show in general. I admit my preference is much more the everyday situation episodes though, not the implausible ones, sparing the rat dog ep.

Loved the Suzie comment from Leon though, as well as how the note played out and the uncomfortable Ben Stiller staredown. "MY WIFE USED TO BE THE SWEETEST PERSON YOU COULD MEET, NOW SHE'S TURNED INTO A WITCH!"

Total agreement.

Sure, I laughed here and there, but...

Larry is a sociopathic megalomaniac, not an imbecile. He could certainly have explained that the N-word was used referentially.

The doctor's house could have been done well, but as it was, it was just dumb. They bashed us over the head with it.

Suzy guessing that it was Larry who offended the surgeon? Dumb.

And the doctor shaving Jeff's head was just dumb. Then, to have him explain it so lamely...dumb.

And the end? Just...dumb.

I am sure it's not easy to balance plausibility and comedy, especially in L.D.'s world, but this was all just over the top a little more than I would hope for.
