Season 4 Episode 02: A Girl from Arizona (Part 2)

[enemyofperfect]

Hello again! How are you all feeling about the season premiere now that you've seen both parts?

I hope to watch this week's episode later tonight, but until then, a few questions for those of you who are ahead of me:

• Who got the best line of the episode?
• Was there a moment that made you wonder -- or speculate?
• What was the best visual gag (or other visual!) of the episode?

I'll look forward to reading everyone's comments when I get a chance!

I loved this episode so much! Part one was fun and great, but this one dialed up the feelings and philosophy even more, and it's exactly what I needed. I could do with a little less of the chosen one vibes with Eleanor -- not because she isn't an A++ reformed dirtbag and certified hottie, but because it feels like it's downplaying the help the others gave her along the way -- but I think I'm even more excited for this season now than I was to begin with, which is saying something.

My humble nomination for best line: Jason's morose but heartfelt, "You're right, that is the code." You're a good bro, Jason.

And the scene between Chidi and Simone was just amazing. First of all because he went into it so confidently and secondly because I enjoyed what he had to say, but also because they were just so adorable? She was so delighted to be surprised! He's clearly the best hallucination she's had so far!

Meanwhile I'm really curious how they're going to get through to Brent and (whenever he resurfaces) John. Here's looking forward to episode three!

"You're right, that is the code." You're a good bro, Jason.

To me, Jason's moments are often a delight because he seems like the most restricted person to work with of the main group, especially in terms of representing personal progress while still maintaining his basic character.

Aw, that's such an interesting thought! And makes me all the more curious about what this season may bring for him.
