Great reaction, as always! I want to add a little discussion of the songs: You nailed the Soul Train vibe immediately for "We'll Never Have Problems Again", which let both Heather and Josh show off their moves. And once again, the running joke about nobody ever getting more than 2 lines into "Period Sex" before getting interrupted. I guess you didn't recognize Broadway legend Patti LuPone as Rabbi Sharon? She's quite a big name for the show to get, at least to us musicals-nerds. And "Remember That We Suffered" makes a memorable showcase for the talents of her and Tovah Feldshuh (who plays Naomi). No spoilers, but coming next week is a guest character you'd never predict.

I mean, the therapist is just... I get that they play it for laughs, but I don't think a good therapist should be so impatient and emotionally involved and only engaging when she says what the therapist wants to hear. Like, just expecting a client to get where they want them to be and do what they think they should do... if someone who needs therapy watches that I don't think it would motivate them to go to therapy, to deal with the therapists expectations when you have your own and everything is just too much. I'm lucky to have a very patient, understanding therapist that never makes me feel like I should be some way or go in a certain direction, he just lets me figure that out myself, straight up telling me "I don't know what you should do" even when I'm about to repeat my mistakes :D But I spent years avoiding therapy, afraid of being judged and "crazy". So showing therapists like that in media... not the best idea.

Agreed, though obviously Dr. Akopian is supposed to be portrayed just how exasperating Rebecca is. She's normally very level headed and inciteful in other episodes, but she'd basically given up on ever getting through to Rebecca at this point....

Nathaniel is a great character, and later on you should watch the video essays by Bagels After Midnight. One of those talks about how West Covina is kind of portrayed as this utopian town where you have all of these people of different ethnicities and orientations and religions and backgrounds who all get along. There's a stretch of episodes where no lines are said by a straight, white male....because there are so many other diverse characters on the show. It's a world that feels threatening to many straight/white/male people because they feel like they're being pushed out. So into West Covina comes Nathaniel, a straight, white, traditionally masculine alpha guy.....and yet he also finds his place here (eventually). CXG kind of shows us the possibilities of this magical world where everyone is welcomed and accepted, even the Nathaniels.

that's an interesting observation. I do remember, right after "I'm getting bi" (one of my favourite songs, of course), that I was slightly annoyed at Maya's announcement that she, too, was bi. I remember thinking first "how is that even relevant??" and secondly "they are pushing it a bit on the diversity here." when I see sexual orientation diversity in TV, I always subconsciously start doing the math - if X% of the population is LGBTQ+ (7.1% in 2021 in the US, according to Gallup, for example), that means that X characters in the show should belong to the community too :D and I always felt (especially in later seasons) that CXG was a bit over the average in that respect. but maybe it was intentional... in any case, we all love to see the representation!!!

that's a very good episode to set up perhaps my favourite episode of the season. I had all but forgotten about this one - it kind of gets drowned in the craziness of what is to follow. but I absolutely love the song "Remember that we suffered"! I was recently at an evening of Jewish dancing and music. It was a party and we were having fun and I remember asking the musicians for "something more upbeat". Their answer was just a flat-out, apparently self-explanatory "no" :D It does fit so well with this song - a culture that incorporates happiness and pain into the same music.

Yeah we didn't recognize her! Not as knowledgable about broadway as we are tv and movies. Can't wait for next week!

I mean the show is pure satire so I don't think it's an issue. If someone read this show as anything other than satire or even realistic, I think that is a separate issue.

As Passover started a co-worker said “Happy Passover” and then followed it with- “I’m not trying to be offensive, but is this a happy or sad holiday?” I had to laugh and explain that almost every single Jewish holiday is celebrating someone trying to kill the Jews and failing. Attempted “Jewicide” if you will! I grew up on the East Coast and Rebecca’s description of “dark” was pretty apt. I can’t speak to the West Coast. That being said, it’s rare that I FEEL that darkness or resentment that was exemplified in the song, even having grown up with grandparents that had to flee Germany during WWII.

I forgot Josh laughed at Naomi's horrific transphobic comment. And even when Rebecca pointed it out, he said he thought Naomi was awesome. I'll have to try and forget that to not think Josh is horrible.

Thank you for this. It was difficult to listen to all the gaslighting of Rebecca's experience. Just because Rebecca has mental illness does not mean we should immediately discount her perspective.
