S2 Ep 12 Cabin

New Year New Girl

A couple weeks off and a new year may have dulled my enthusiasm for reviewing New Girl. Plus this episode has had nothing noteworthy so far.

Gross I didn’t want to see Nick’s armpit.

Sleeping on a bear rug sounds a lot better than it actually is I would assume. Bears are not made of tempurpedic foam and seem like their hair is pretty scratchy. Sleeping on a kitten skin pillow seems way better.

I don’t know if I want to watch Schmidt do uncomfortable racism stuff, they better do this in a new and creative way. They did this awkward plot with Max and Brad on Happy Endings too recently for me to watch it again. So far they are doing okay though. They have a good out when they set up a crappy sitcom situation they can flip it and make it a way for one of the others to mess with Schmidt.

That’s not a rifle it’s a shotgun. Continuity! I'm not sure I like someone playing along with Jess needing the can to have a back story. They have wisely gotten away from some of that crappy writing of Jess’s personality.  I'm guessing what happens next is either Jess is amazingly good at shooting, or Jess accidentally hits a bird/small mammal and is traumatized, or Jess accidentally shoots Nick or David Walton, or on an outside chance Olivia Munn, whichever though Olivia Munn thinks its awesome making Nick question their relationship.

Oh man when she pulled back like that I thought for sure she was going to hit a bird, my personal favorite prediction, a power transformer was a good twist.

I really thought this plot was going to go the other way when Olivia Munn pulled out the guns, that Nick would realize she is too wild for him, but it seems like Jess is the stick in the mud and David Walton wants to be more wild. They could still be setting this up for a hookup between David Walton and Olivia Munn, thus ending both guests’ run on the show, which would make sense I guess.

I have never had absinthe. I am 34, it probably isn’t going to happen.

Ribs are delicious regardless of race. I don’t know about Crack.

Glad to see I'm totally right on this call. I think they are being pretty critical of crazy strippers saying they want to switch partners. Just kidding I think they are being totally fair, some things are true.

Ha ha Perfect Couples was the show David Walton used to be on, see how that was funny and stuff. Maybe that’s just me.

This Schmidt and Winston subplot makes me want frozen yogurt.

“Crakakain” made me laugh a little. So did drunk Nick and the olive.

Now I really want frozen yogurt.

I have to commend New Girl on its ability to go to a really cheesy sitcom place and then pull it back to normal and still make it at least somewhat funny. People don’t usually talk honestly in sitcoms and so many plots are fueled by jumping to conclusions and not explaining things rationally. New Girl can kind of do both. Even though it means I was wrong about David Walton and Olivia Munn hooking up and both leaving the show. One for two isnt bad though.
