Lets do a pro/con list, shall we?
Con:It doesnt do … anything?Mr.
Mazz doesnt slap his hand to his forehead and say, You know what, youre right.
Miss Wolfe even prefaces the whole interaction with a disclaimer that they can forget she ever said anything.
Which is not what should be happening!
Pro:Theres a really great moment between Coach Strickland and Gordy.
And then Coach Strickland gives him a speech thatalmostfeels Coach Taylor-esque.
Coach Strickland doesnt do talking.
You hope you wake up and feel different about things.
If you dont want to be married, Coach, divorce your wife!
Dont show up at home complimenting cookies and then go to Target to buy phone cases for other ladies!
Pro:The harmonies on The Bitch of Living!
Con:Mr. Mazzu asking Maashous to be the lighting designer.
Pro:Simon singing Left Behind!
Con:Mr. Mazzu whining about how he wantshisshow to bespecial.
Pro:Stephanie J.
Block is so great that the scene should get her airlifted out ofRiseand into a better show.
Their son is uncomfortable sleeping in his bed because Maashous is in his room, she tells him.
So what do we do?
GEE, MR. MAZZU.
Maybe look into the ramifications of bringing a whole new person into your household before just doing it?
Maybe sit down with your wife and have a conversation about how this is going to work?
Maybe talk to your own kid?!
Pro:Robbie and Lilette are cute together.
Con:Robbie and his mother are no Matt Saracen and his grandma.
Robbies mother has been pigeonholed as perfect angelic sick person, with none of Lorraines individuality or complexity.
hey come enlighten me about the origins or meanings of this name, because I just dont get it.
Surely they just Snapchat each other or something?
Anyhow, Im glad that at least Denise Strickland seems to understand his vision.
It would be nice for that character to have some feature other than resentful pushy harridan.
