[QUOTE=h.sapiens] My favorite line was after the concert, when Joy said the baby had enjoyed it too, because he was banging his little fist against her cootie-wall. [/QUOTE] I loved that line - mainly because my son’s been doing the same thing when I play RENT in the car 😃 . I thought last night was great - and I absolutely DETEST Juliette Lewis. I’ve never liked her, and she was bearable in this episode. Even ElzaHub noticed Catalina’s absence last night, though. I wonder if she’s doing outside acting jobs or something. E. ---

[QUOTE=Push You Down] I didn’t expect it to be a fight… I expected Jessi to still be a one punch chump… I did LOVE that she started immediately doing push ups as Joy and Earl drove away… I see round three coming up next season. The gay homeless man was probably my favorite bit.. although I knew who would be losing their shoes and who would be getting the hug the moment they said it.. it still cracked me up. Was Catalina even in this episode? Hopefully we’ll get a Catalina centric episode before the season ends. I like that Bounty Hunters in this world are apparently always dressed for heavy assaults. The trailer park Bounty Hunter alarm was genius. [/QUOTE] Wasn’t the head bounty hunter - the one handing out the jobs - Don Swayze? VCNJ~ ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] I was referring to your Round 3 comment. [/QUOTE] Okay..I don’t really see how it relates… Round 1 was Joy initially knocking Jessi’s teeth out.. Round 2 was Joy knocking Jessi’s gold teeth out… Round 3 would be Jessi coming back again for revenge against Joy. ---

I enjoyed the episode, loved the catfight at the end, but still – I didn’t get my weekly “Catalina fix”! I can’t believe they had a whole episode without her! ---

[QUOTE=Veuve\_ClicquotNJ] Wasn’t the head bounty hunter - the one handing out the jobs - Don Swayze? [/QUOTE] So that’s why that character reminded me of Patrick Swayze. Good catch. (And I went back to check my tape, the end credits – you’re right). ---

[/QUOTE] lol - our local affiliate always minimizes the end credits, so if I don’t have my spectacles on, I’m lost.

Somehow, I just _knew_ when I saw that “Mad Libs” booklet, that Randy would answer everything with “butt.” It blew me away when Joy took responsibility for causing the whole Jessie thing, and apologized to Earl for tricking him into marrying her when she was pregnant with another man’s baby, then having _another_ man’s baby while they were married. But Earl’s response was just sweet. (And then the explanation for the extended hug afterward- hee!) And I just love the pop culture references they throw in each show, especially the musical ones. ---

I liked how when Joy was apologizing for tricking him into marrying her, and getting pregnant while married to him, she followed up with “and other stuff”. I half expected Earl to give one of his great big bushy eyebrowed :dubious: reactions, but I guess it’s just setting the stage for more stuff that Joy will have to atone for in future eps. ---

You mean Joy’s kid? She had a boy, then another boy (with Crab Man), and the kids are living with Joy and Crab Man, who are now married. To each other. ---

[QUOTE=Ludy] Now can you Earl experts help out a Earl newbie. Last nights episode was the first one I have watched. So what happened to her kid??

[QUOTE=YaWanna] And I just love the pop culture references they throw in each show, especially the musical ones. [/QUOTE] I loved their use of the Doors’ “Peace Frog” for the one legged donut lady in the rerun episode. Both a good title and a good sound for the hopping. ---

I loved the homages to _Cape Fear_ with Juliette Lewis this time the victimizer instead of the victim. And Joy was actually… almost… nice in this episode, you could see why someone would almost love her on a supervised and heavily qualified basis for limited periods of time. (I wonder if her first baby daddy is ever going to be in an episode.) And any second Ethan Supplee is on camera is one well spent. ---
