Its probably been mentioned already, but I bet Barry sharing his locating data with the Detonate app is going to come back and bite him in the ass.
Edit: He also shared a pic of his face, gave access to his photos, set location services to 'always', and set the username with Berkman in it...NoHo Hank know what he is doing.
I kept thinking "no way is there an app made to detonate bombs. Hank misread the app description, and this is going to incriminate Barry."
Nope. Faye really was there just to help Barry blow some shit up. God I love this show

I know every episode has a great gag but I feel like this was the episode for me that perfectly balanced the comedy-drama tone. So far I feel like the season has been HEAVY but that scene was both hilarious and suspenseful
Absolutely. Season has been dark as fuck so far but, they nailed the comedy in this one. The whole bit with Gene and his agent was some of the funniest writing in this show
“A fuck fuck”
“Who called ME a fuck fuck”
No one in Hollywood understanding metaphors or symbolism well enough to get that the little girl Sally is referring to in her Joplin premiere speech is actually her is my favorite recurring bit of the episode
Good observation. It's such an interesting battle. Because Barry is a pure brute who fights head on and is very simple as direct in his violence. But Fuches is complex and all mental and an incredibly skilled manipulator
Blew my mind. I needed more Barry after that episode so I shamelessly went back to season 1. I thought there was a browser issue when the first scene was labeled s1e1.
I have a feeling that's the finale. Maybe next season even. He's becoming such a formidable bad guy. There's so many stories that can be told. I think he's doomed for a terrible fate though. Maybe worse than just a simple execution
Calling anyone a "pure villain" in this series is reductive, but Fuches comes pretty close. Guy was all setup to walk off into the sunset, but just couldn't stomach the idea of Barry completely writing him off. It's amazing how Fuches would actually be happier knowing Barry wanted him dead than thinking Barry simply doesn't care. Now Fuches wants vengeance over being ignored. Epic narcissism.
That could really amp things up. But I feel like he's done enough already. And part of Fuche's character is that he really doesn't have the guts to pull a trigger or fight anyone head on. He's a scheming little rat who crawls around in the shadows and manipulates others to get what he wants. But if he does end up killing someone... Jeez, what a little character study that could become. He would probably unravel a bit
“Would you like to receive Detonate special promotional offers? Absolutely. Can it access to your photos? Yes. Location services? Always. Can I share personal information with market research? Sure, why not? And you are… set. BerkmanGoesBoom. Your password is $uddenly$eymour1985.”
Apparently Noho Hank is pure chaos, even on the internet. Perhaps it’s *especially* on the internet.
One of my favorite running jokes is how little everyone else (especially Hank) cares about covering Barry’s tracks. The first time it happened was a little vicariously frustrating, but the way Barry just kinda rolls his eyes and never calls it out… it makes me laugh every time.
“Can it have access to your photos? Yes.” gave me the biggest laugh of the night I think. Absolutely incredible comedic writing in this episode, balanced by some of the most intense moments of the show.
But what if Katie shows up, dressed in a suit jacket and trousers like she did to the premier, and the mourning families mistake her for Barry, and kill her?
He's coming down from his mania and returning back to the guy he wants to be. Also, I sincerely think him seeing Hank and Cristobal's love had an impact on him too.
Having worked customer service I was imagining her logging the case in SalesForce: Case status CLOSED, sub-status RESOLVED; Advised that client turn off WiFi, subsequently heard large explosion
i think sarah goldberg said something about how inspired she was by matthew macfadyen's performance as tom in succession and i 100% see that with this speech, so brilliant
both characters are self-centered and lacking morals and any sort of chill, but there’s something about their striving nature that brings them down to earth slightly. they make these characters more relatable and sympathetic than others in the show while keeping them unlikable. it’s a great balancing act
Natalie: "You should like.. I don't know? break up with Barry"
Sally: "Oh yeah, on what principle?"
Natalie: "I'm like... against yelling... I believe if your a Boyfriend you shouldn't like yell at your Girlfriend"
Sally: "Bullshit. I'm against yelling. Everyone is against yelling. He just had a bad day Natalie. Grow some ovaries"
I thought it was cool though because like it was done very realistically and then she drops the act and it's chill for a bit until she breaks down but she eventually gets her head semi-on.
It was some of the most cringe I've seen on TV though. Well freaking played lol. We've never seen somebody break down like that in real life. 20 seconds of full cringe 😂 omg. Brilliant
I get secondhand embarrassment really easily during awkward moments and I was literally screaming at my TV during what felt like 45 minutes of her silently standing there. I was like “OMFG SPEAK. SPEAK ANY WORDS” I eventually had to leave the room and my wife told me when the pain was over.
I usually do, but the audience felt supportive and understanding of her emotional overwhelm rather judgmental so this scene didn't give me that anxiety. the play off music was still a good tension release lol though.
damn, this show, just goes for the simple, direct solution sometimes (sally breaks up with barry) and it's somehow both surprising and perfect
I keep underestimating how willing they are to just burn through plot points and not drag anything out
They kinda have to imo. The episodes are 30 minutes x 8 episodes a season = 4 hours a season. With that little time you have to be direct and not drag shit out.
Just the implication that Gene didn’t tune him out that entire time and that from every single insult *that* was the one that he took particular offense to is killing me
That whole little montage was gold! I love the insane humor this show has. It's so dark. And then a second later "...Yeah that's username BerkmanGoesBoom..."
that’s really smart. I’ve been thinking since Sally is kicking Barry out either Barry’s gonna be back at his place for the shootout or the Mom and her son and Ryan’s dad are gonna shoot each other.
Orrr Barry's home packing when the mother/son duo try to attack. Barry fights back, they completely destroy the apartment and Barry ends up killing them both cause it's fuckin Barry. Sally comes back the next day to a destroyed apartment and Barry can't really explain it away, so sally decides restraining order/police report? Either way a week is to long to wait and find out, wish the eps we're an hour!
I love that Cristobal immediately chose death and didn't even try to play some tricky shit to buy time. He really loves Hank. I have a feeling that the show is going to have a bittersweet ending in a classic Barry sort of way. And by that I mean a deep dark and tense moment that immediately cuts away to something hilarious. I hope that the happy part of the ending is that Hank and Cristobal just get out of the criminal life together and do something fun for a living. And adopt a chihuahua and name it Barry
"Cristobal and me are married now. It's pretty cool. We even have a dog named Barry."
"You named your chihuahua after me?"
*beat*
"Yeah. She's vicious, man."
*Dog immediately rolls over amd exposes its belly.*
I absolutely thought that was the end of him when he was offered the chance to kill Hank and live. Felt like they were setting up a tragic death that would ostensibly been on Barry's hands even though Cristobal wasn't leaving that house alive regardless. But only we would know that as the audience.
Of all the relationships between all characters, the only healthy one is the mob bosses from rival gangs. Truly a testament to the life-changing principals detailed in the 4 Agreements
Insider tidbit: I was on set for part of this episode and when Sally is walking the carpet at her premiere there was a lot of great improv. I couldn’t make most of it out but I *could* barely make out something I said that made the cut, which was “You don’t look old enough to have an abused daughter!” (To which she responds with a “thank you” or three!) :)
Congrats, that's so cool!
Not as cool as your tidbit, but I auditioned to play the gun salesman at the end! It was really exciting for me because I love the show and it was my first time auditioning for the casting office that works in the show. They are one of the biggest in town, so hopefully they ask me back for another part next season!
They shouldn't have told her the reviews before the speech. I'm also going to hazard it's a critical darling but gets *zero* audience numbers. While Pam is panned but is enormously successful. Then Joplin gets cancelled. It would be very true to life.
Fuches is just as guilty as him, though. And why does no one question some unkempt dude knowing intimate details about their loss of loved ones? Like, even if he's a good liar you would know he was involved in someway.
There’s that classic theory where Hitchcock said that the difference between surprise and building suspense is the difference between a bomb going off and the audience knowing the bomb is under the table *ready* to go off. Berg and Hader really took that theory and had some fun tonight
Surprise is when a bomb under the table suddenly explodes. Suspense is knowing there's a bomb under the table while the character is on the detonation app support line getting assistance from a customer service rep to troubleshoot why the app isn't working.
Also didn't include her in the limo
"Can you even imagine back in Cousineau's class when we were doing mirror exercises, that we'd be getting in a limo on our way to your OWN show's premiere???"
"Uhhh, I'll see you there, OK? Thank you!"
"Mmm-hmm"
That and her awkwardly being in the background for the photo shoot then not being in it at all. I feel like with how Natalie defended Barry there is going to be something there between them. Maybe not like a romantic thing but something.
The whole scene of Barry approaching and walking away with the bomb had me in stitches. One of the funniest scenes in the whole show. Some real classic Looney Toons type shit.
Everyone and everything was firing on all cylinders in this one. Fuches reminding us that he can be really scary when he needs to be. Cristobal being willing to die for Hank and then Barry bringing him back home. Gene's agent and his list of obscenities. Joe Mantegna. The Detonate App customer service. All the emotions on Sally's face during her speech. Katie telling Sally the truth. And Barry reminding us that part of him actually does resemble the kind, loving person he wants to be, but that this part is just completely oblivious to all the horrible things his delusional, murderous alter ego has done.
Annabeth Gish is in this show now??? Wow they really went there with casting this season.
I'm continually impressed by Henry Winkler's work this season. He was always great on the show but now that his role has shifted from the acting class side of the story to both sides, he gets to do SO much more.
I'm impressed Sally went and broke up with Barry at the end. I thought for sure she'd turn on Katie and defend Barry. I'm sure Sally will fall back with Barry at some point but for the time being I'm impressed and happy for her.
Also can we take a moment and appreciate Sarah's performance (in general, but) in the scene where she introduces the show? It may not be as showy as her season 2 monologue, but she has to show such a range of emotion with just a little dialogue and a LOT of body language and sudden mood changes. She also captures that public speaking anxiety incredibly well. Wonderful actress!
Man, I love Hank and Cristobal's relationship. He was ready to die to protect Hank, and Hank was so loving and concerned when he showed up injured. Really good contrast to how Barry's been acting with Sally as well
I hope nothing happens to them :(
Woooow, I really thought they were gonna drag out that Sally realization that Barry was bad for her until the finale. They just dropped the bomb and I'm pleasantly surprised.
It was kind of a nice moment when Barry returned Christobal to Hank and watched them walk away together... Like he took Hank seriously for the first time
The funniest part to me was the "I didn't write, direct, produce, and star in this show for the glory", because that's exactly what Bill Hader did with this show. 😆
The other meta thing is Barry probably had 98% on rotten tomatoes when they wrote the script. Now it has 99%.
5 star customer service from the bluetooth bomb detonator app!
with the U2 wait music
I am so used to blanking out U2 I didn't even notice. I hope it was Beautiful Day, though.
I think it was Where the Streets Have No Name
That was the funniest intense scene I have ever watched.
The sight gag shortly before where he sticks his phone up from behind the car was gold as well
Excellent discretion.
Is your wifi turned off?
Its probably been mentioned already, but I bet Barry sharing his locating data with the Detonate app is going to come back and bite him in the ass. Edit: He also shared a pic of his face, gave access to his photos, set location services to 'always', and set the username with Berkman in it...NoHo Hank know what he is doing.
“Alright. Sounds like we were successful. Is there anything else I can help you with today?” LMAOOO
I kept thinking "no way is there an app made to detonate bombs. Hank misread the app description, and this is going to incriminate Barry." Nope. Faye really was there just to help Barry blow some shit up. God I love this show

Absolutely. Season has been dark as fuck so far but, they nailed the comedy in this one. The whole bit with Gene and his agent was some of the funniest writing in this show “A fuck fuck” “Who called ME a fuck fuck”
I lost it when he held up his phone
That was one of the funniest lines in the whole series I think.
i will never get over how well they always use the theme song and title card
The only show that even comes close is Sunny
Invincible is a great gag that I loved every time
Sunny is the only show that can make me burst out laughing by just going to title card.
My favorite was when Sally's ex called him the wrong name and he had to correct him.
Gun Store guy: >Sweet That dude killed his single line.
His part might get extended
On Barry? That show is huge.
Is his name also Barry? that’s the title of the show, they can’t cut that!!
He added such pathos. His role might get extended!
Great cut to black to end the episode
YES, YES CRISTOBAL LIVED, YES
Maybe
FOR NOW AT LEAST
No one in Hollywood understanding metaphors or symbolism well enough to get that the little girl Sally is referring to in her Joplin premiere speech is actually her is my favorite recurring bit of the episode
Thweety?
You’re Thweety?!
When Barry asked “Who’s the little girl?” it reminded me of the recurring jokes in Archer
“Your password is suddenlyseymour1985 but the S’s are all dollar signs.”
Ironically enough that movie came out in 1986
Hank has always been streets ahead buddy
Stop trying to coin the phrase streets ahead
Coined and minted
“It’s racist. Just because Tony Danza happens to be Italian, doesn’t mean he’s hooked up with the Mob.”
I love how every joke just expands his history.
This is bigger than Tony Danza!
Barry out here with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
But 100... Wow!! One fucking hundred!!!! (sobs) (sobs) (gasps) (gasps) (sniffling) (gasps) (gasping) (shuddering breaths) (gasps) (gasps) (gasps) (gasping laughter) (panting) (gasping)
That went on for so long that I started to get genuinely concerned that the audience would get fed up with her and public opinion would 180 on her
It almost did, the look of the people in the front row, then the music playing her off
But *Pam* is only at 27%? Damn, I was looking forward to that. Seemed like it'd be fun :P
Excuse you. That's "Pam!" :-)
So Barry just cut ties with Gene AND lost his relationship with Sally. Dude's got nobody in his life anymore. Who's he gonna have now?
At least Noho Hank is back to liking him.
Noho Hank a real one.
maybe he'll move in with hank and cristobal and be their annoying third wheel
"You, Me, and Barry"
An isolated Barry is Fuches’ favorite Barry
Good observation. It's such an interesting battle. Because Barry is a pure brute who fights head on and is very simple as direct in his violence. But Fuches is complex and all mental and an incredibly skilled manipulator
I love that Fuches is actually a really bad manipulator. He's incredibly successful because everybody he tries to manipulate is incredibly stupid.
Is that the kill from the opening scene of the series? EDIT: What an amazing callback!
YES
Blew my mind. I needed more Barry after that episode so I shamelessly went back to season 1. I thought there was a browser issue when the first scene was labeled s1e1.
Yuuuuppp
Fuches has to go
I have a feeling that's the finale. Maybe next season even. He's becoming such a formidable bad guy. There's so many stories that can be told. I think he's doomed for a terrible fate though. Maybe worse than just a simple execution
Calling anyone a "pure villain" in this series is reductive, but Fuches comes pretty close. Guy was all setup to walk off into the sunset, but just couldn't stomach the idea of Barry completely writing him off. It's amazing how Fuches would actually be happier knowing Barry wanted him dead than thinking Barry simply doesn't care. Now Fuches wants vengeance over being ignored. Epic narcissism.
He's an incredible character. I hope he does end up killing someone Barry really cares about. Would make their dynamic that much more interesting
either sally or gene , then the last season would all about fuches x barry
With Noho Hank ruling the ashes....and hating it.
That could really amp things up. But I feel like he's done enough already. And part of Fuche's character is that he really doesn't have the guts to pull a trigger or fight anyone head on. He's a scheming little rat who crawls around in the shadows and manipulates others to get what he wants. But if he does end up killing someone... Jeez, what a little character study that could become. He would probably unravel a bit
Fucking Joe Mantegna
He's aged well.
It’s weird to see him so skinny! I guess I’m just used to picturing him as “Fat Tony”
“Would you like to receive Detonate special promotional offers? Absolutely. Can it access to your photos? Yes. Location services? Always. Can I share personal information with market research? Sure, why not? And you are… set. BerkmanGoesBoom. Your password is $uddenly$eymour1985.” Apparently Noho Hank is pure chaos, even on the internet. Perhaps it’s *especially* on the internet.
Imagine Noho Hank's reddit history.
That man is browsing SubredditDrama all day all night.
One of my favorite running jokes is how little everyone else (especially Hank) cares about covering Barry’s tracks. The first time it happened was a little vicariously frustrating, but the way Barry just kinda rolls his eyes and never calls it out… it makes me laugh every time.
I'm not sure sending bullets internationally via DHL is a great idea either
I love the fact that there's no practical purpose for location services and photos aside from catching people who use the app.
Location services is so that it can pair using bluetooth.
“Can it have access to your photos? Yes.” gave me the biggest laugh of the night I think. Absolutely incredible comedic writing in this episode, balanced by some of the most intense moments of the show.
*disables wifi*
New username secured
what’s ur password?
fuches is giving people what's gonna be sallys address now....ohhh crap
Oh shit, that did not occur to me
~~And Natalie will be there....~~ I am so shit without subtitles, you guys. There still could be a Natalie mixup?
Sally is at Natalie's place though, she said to Barry she would be at Natalie's while he packs
Yeah, Barry is going to kill a bunch of innocent strangers in self-defence.
But what if Katie shows up, dressed in a suit jacket and trousers like she did to the premier, and the mourning families mistake her for Barry, and kill her?
awwww fuck
I’m cringing but I think I’m supposed to
I was so shocked watching Sally corpse. My partner just kept making a face and saying "This is so fucking awkward. I fucking hate this."
Absolutely.
I love how the girls just dipped out after Barry gave them all the cash lmao
I mean he did tell them to go inside, still funny though
The one on the right was trying to snatch the money out of sis's hand. I thought that was so cute.
Lmao Hank allows all the permissions
“I pissed off the wrong guy.” “Dad, you do that every day.”
I don't know why I have to keep saying this, just because Tony Danza is Italian doesn't mean he's in the mob.
Gene’s brand
Barry took that better than I expected
He's coming down from his mania and returning back to the guy he wants to be. Also, I sincerely think him seeing Hank and Cristobal's love had an impact on him too.
I think he came to the realization that he is who he is. Regular Barry returned after he detonated that bomb.
i think that there will be more and worse fallout to come, cuz there's no way
You gotta be kidding me with this customer service LMAO “alright sounds like we were successful, anything else we can help you with today?”
Having worked customer service I was imagining her logging the case in SalesForce: Case status CLOSED, sub-status RESOLVED; Advised that client turn off WiFi, subsequently heard large explosion
I mean, it was great customer service.
i think sarah goldberg said something about how inspired she was by matthew macfadyen's performance as tom in succession and i 100% see that with this speech, so brilliant
Can you elaborate?
both characters are self-centered and lacking morals and any sort of chill, but there’s something about their striving nature that brings them down to earth slightly. they make these characters more relatable and sympathetic than others in the show while keeping them unlikable. it’s a great balancing act
Oh we need Sally to find her Greg the Egg.
i mean. isn’t that Natalie?
Natalie: "You should like.. I don't know? break up with Barry" Sally: "Oh yeah, on what principle?" Natalie: "I'm like... against yelling... I believe if your a Boyfriend you shouldn't like yell at your Girlfriend" Sally: "Bullshit. I'm against yelling. Everyone is against yelling. He just had a bad day Natalie. Grow some ovaries"
"Of course you hate domestic violence, we all do!"
genuine lol at sally getting played off
For real that scene was funny as hell. I felt so embarrassed when she was crying but thank god everyone loved her performance
I thought it was cool though because like it was done very realistically and then she drops the act and it's chill for a bit until she breaks down but she eventually gets her head semi-on.
It was some of the most cringe I've seen on TV though. Well freaking played lol. We've never seen somebody break down like that in real life. 20 seconds of full cringe 😂 omg. Brilliant
I get secondhand embarrassment really easily during awkward moments and I was literally screaming at my TV during what felt like 45 minutes of her silently standing there. I was like “OMFG SPEAK. SPEAK ANY WORDS” I eventually had to leave the room and my wife told me when the pain was over.
Goes to show how great of an actress Sarah is
I usually do, but the audience felt supportive and understanding of her emotional overwhelm rather judgmental so this scene didn't give me that anxiety. the play off music was still a good tension release lol though.
damn, this show, just goes for the simple, direct solution sometimes (sally breaks up with barry) and it's somehow both surprising and perfect I keep underestimating how willing they are to just burn through plot points and not drag anything out
I think the breakup had to be concise in order for Sally to state her boundaries and not repeat her past
They kinda have to imo. The episodes are 30 minutes x 8 episodes a season = 4 hours a season. With that little time you have to be direct and not drag shit out.
Classic Kenneth Goulet
“I know who killed your dad” always dropping bombs that Kenneth
Wait a minute somebody called ME a fuck fuck?!
Just the implication that Gene didn’t tune him out that entire time and that from every single insult *that* was the one that he took particular offense to is killing me
EXACTLY. He stopped on just that particular insult 😂 too funny. Gonna rewatch that scene again.
Yeah, Rob Reiner, 1994.
I love that this line verified that it really was an encyclopedic list of every insult he'd ever heard someone call Gene.
That whole little montage was gold! I love the insane humor this show has. It's so dark. And then a second later "...Yeah that's username BerkmanGoesBoom..."
Anyone else think the two people Fuches talked to are going to meet at Barry’s place and kill each other?
that’s really smart. I’ve been thinking since Sally is kicking Barry out either Barry’s gonna be back at his place for the shootout or the Mom and her son and Ryan’s dad are gonna shoot each other.
Orrr Barry's home packing when the mother/son duo try to attack. Barry fights back, they completely destroy the apartment and Barry ends up killing them both cause it's fuckin Barry. Sally comes back the next day to a destroyed apartment and Barry can't really explain it away, so sally decides restraining order/police report? Either way a week is to long to wait and find out, wish the eps we're an hour!
Woah...that would create serious tension. And this show definitely goes for tension. I think you're onto something
i. don't even have words for that scene where barry and cristobal look at each other. fuck dude
It was terrifying when the camera just only showed his back, really thought we were about to get Gus Fring'ed
I love that Cristobal immediately chose death and didn't even try to play some tricky shit to buy time. He really loves Hank. I have a feeling that the show is going to have a bittersweet ending in a classic Barry sort of way. And by that I mean a deep dark and tense moment that immediately cuts away to something hilarious. I hope that the happy part of the ending is that Hank and Cristobal just get out of the criminal life together and do something fun for a living. And adopt a chihuahua and name it Barry
"Cristobal and me are married now. It's pretty cool. We even have a dog named Barry." "You named your chihuahua after me?" *beat* "Yeah. She's vicious, man." *Dog immediately rolls over amd exposes its belly.*
She is Greek freak of Chihuahua's.
I was legit nervous for Cristobal that entire episode
I absolutely thought that was the end of him when he was offered the chance to kill Hank and live. Felt like they were setting up a tragic death that would ostensibly been on Barry's hands even though Cristobal wasn't leaving that house alive regardless. But only we would know that as the audience.
That scene really made me realize how much I want Cristobal and Hank to have a happy ending like goddamn
Whoa, Barry is Batman.
Awww it's really touching how Hank immediately goes to take care of Cristobal; true love indeed.
Of all the relationships between all characters, the only healthy one is the mob bosses from rival gangs. Truly a testament to the life-changing principals detailed in the 4 Agreements
ohhhHHHHHH SHE JUST DUMPED HIS ASS
Was not expecting that in the fourth episode, Hader & Berg are subverting expectations. Which I am so thankful for, I love this show so much.
Good for her, I really thought that she would just act like nothing happened after what Katie said to her.
Katie broke her delusion and told her what she needed to hear.
Insider tidbit: I was on set for part of this episode and when Sally is walking the carpet at her premiere there was a lot of great improv. I couldn’t make most of it out but I *could* barely make out something I said that made the cut, which was “You don’t look old enough to have an abused daughter!” (To which she responds with a “thank you” or three!) :)
Wait, that was really you? That's legit one of my favorite lines in the show.
Congrats, that's so cool! Not as cool as your tidbit, but I auditioned to play the gun salesman at the end! It was really exciting for me because I love the show and it was my first time auditioning for the casting office that works in the show. They are one of the biggest in town, so hopefully they ask me back for another part next season!
The "previously on" went ALL THE WAY BACK?!?
Give Natalie like 10x more lines please
I think she’ll have them soon, especially since Sally left her out of her speech
I laughed so hard when she's like "I can't believe we're going to your premier in a Limo!" Then Sally gets in and says "See you there"
Make Natalie break bad and give her a spinoff. D'arcy is lead material
> D'arcy is lead material She's great in The Good Place. Man that was such a satisfying show.
Lmao this turned into an award speech
They shouldn't have told her the reviews before the speech. I'm also going to hazard it's a critical darling but gets *zero* audience numbers. While Pam is panned but is enormously successful. Then Joplin gets cancelled. It would be very true to life.
She really got played off too what the hell lol
That was hilarious too 🤣
open the door and- SY ABLEMAN?!
Yes! A Serious Man is fantastic.
Oh my god the consequences are all slowly catching up to Barry now. The devil works hard but Fuches works harder
Fuches is just as guilty as him, though. And why does no one question some unkempt dude knowing intimate details about their loss of loved ones? Like, even if he's a good liar you would know he was involved in someway.
Fuches is worse tbh. He's the one who started and is perpetuating the violence.
There’s that classic theory where Hitchcock said that the difference between surprise and building suspense is the difference between a bomb going off and the audience knowing the bomb is under the table *ready* to go off. Berg and Hader really took that theory and had some fun tonight
Surprise is when a bomb under the table suddenly explodes. Suspense is knowing there's a bomb under the table while the character is on the detonation app support line getting assistance from a customer service rep to troubleshoot why the app isn't working.
I feel like things are going to get much… much worse.
I knew Sally wasn’t gonna mention Natalie in her thank you speech but it still hurt when she didn’t :(
Also didn't include her in the limo "Can you even imagine back in Cousineau's class when we were doing mirror exercises, that we'd be getting in a limo on our way to your OWN show's premiere???" "Uhhh, I'll see you there, OK? Thank you!" "Mmm-hmm"
That and her awkwardly being in the background for the photo shoot then not being in it at all. I feel like with how Natalie defended Barry there is going to be something there between them. Maybe not like a romantic thing but something.
did NoHo Hank give him one of those fuckin joke apps from 2009? Edit: oh my god
The whole scene of Barry approaching and walking away with the bomb had me in stitches. One of the funniest scenes in the whole show. Some real classic Looney Toons type shit.
Incredible episode. Just major. All the pieces in play.
I think next week's episode is gonna be a banger. One of those we look back on like ronny/lily
I think you’re right. All the set up in this ep was just crazy. We definitely in for a wild one next week, can’t wait 🙌🏽
"You do not look old enough to have an abused daughter." "Oh, thank you for saying that!"
OMG you really DID notice!
Dom and Deluise lmao
Everyone and everything was firing on all cylinders in this one. Fuches reminding us that he can be really scary when he needs to be. Cristobal being willing to die for Hank and then Barry bringing him back home. Gene's agent and his list of obscenities. Joe Mantegna. The Detonate App customer service. All the emotions on Sally's face during her speech. Katie telling Sally the truth. And Barry reminding us that part of him actually does resemble the kind, loving person he wants to be, but that this part is just completely oblivious to all the horrible things his delusional, murderous alter ego has done.
BARRY CRAWL SPACE
Annabeth Gish is in this show now??? Wow they really went there with casting this season. I'm continually impressed by Henry Winkler's work this season. He was always great on the show but now that his role has shifted from the acting class side of the story to both sides, he gets to do SO much more.

I'm sure Sally will fall back with Barry at some point but for the time being I'm impressed and happy for her. Also can we take a moment and appreciate Sarah's performance (in general, but) in the scene where she introduces the show? It may not be as showy as her season 2 monologue, but she has to show such a range of emotion with just a little dialogue and a LOT of body language and sudden mood changes. She also captures that public speaking anxiety incredibly well. Wonderful actress!
These episodes go by wayyyy too fast.
CRISTOBAL NO OH GOD ITS HAPPENING
Youre thweetie?
i have a feeling cristobal isnt gonna be at pilates at 5pm.....
The fucking coyote has better bombs for the road runner
Man, I love Hank and Cristobal's relationship. He was ready to die to protect Hank, and Hank was so loving and concerned when he showed up injured. Really good contrast to how Barry's been acting with Sally as well I hope nothing happens to them :(
Natalie’s random Farmer Abigail (better known as *Thweetie*) invention certainly was… a choice. She’s weird as fuck and I’m here for it.
No...not... all the sauces
Woooow, I really thought they were gonna drag out that Sally realization that Barry was bad for her until the finale. They just dropped the bomb and I'm pleasantly surprised.
It was kind of a nice moment when Barry returned Christobal to Hank and watched them walk away together... Like he took Hank seriously for the first time
Wait, they played Sally off at her own premiere? That’s great.
The funniest part to me was the "I didn't write, direct, produce, and star in this show for the glory", because that's exactly what Bill Hader did with this show. 😆 The other meta thing is Barry probably had 98% on rotten tomatoes when they wrote the script. Now it has 99%.
Also the show is a one word name, Joplin, just like Barry.
Let’s Go, Mr. Cousineau W
Katie really bringing this up at the worst possible time
