Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Season 4, Episode 3

Obviously, "Don't Be a Lawyer" is a fantastic song. I sent it to one of my library co-workers who just got her law degree, and she ended up memorizing it word for word (but still became a lawyer). On another note, that tiny little "Uh" that Father Bra utters after Rebecca calls the Bible a fairy tale has to be the funniest half spoken word in the entire show for me. Gets me every time.

How I envy you guys being in the process of seeing this season for the first time -- it's such a fantastic unpredictable ride. Note the evolution of episode titles! After a season each ending in !, ?, and ., we've settled in regular no-end-punctuation titles. And the subject word is no longer "Josh" or anybody else, it's "I". Rebecca is finally settling in for calm self-assessment.

(One plea: I can't see your screen while starting Netflix, so... an audible "PLAY!" after 3...2...1, please?)

In defense of Rebecca's money situation, has she spent extravagantly since her "turns out I spent tens of thousands of dollars on Josh" moment? It's possible she did, I legit don't remember and I don't think the show is particularly realistic on money anyway, but it's possible this is something that works. Not to mention, she spent a lot of season 3 with no job & no income but then she became partner at Mountaintop for a hot minute there. It's possible she's been drawing an income ever since, even during this season when she wasn't working. And while opening a pretzel stand sounds like something that requires money upfront that she doesn't have, is it that absurd to think she's a person who could get very good small business loans? We've seen her be broke but I'm not sure we've seen her be in debt so it's possible her credit is good. I think you are absolutely right that she is privileged but I don't feel that's off in any way. Maybe it's weird that the show didn't highlight this aspect of her privilege the way it highlighted it while she was in prison (and for that matter when she said to Josh this episode that if she were a man she'd been in prison a long time ago). But "don't worry about money for long because your income comfortably covers your expenses as long as they're not insane, don't worry about quitting your job and getting into a risky business endeavor because your cultural capital, Harvard degree & even modest savings make it a fairly safe bet that you can land on your feet whichever way things shake out" seems like a very realistic kind of privilege for someone of Rebecca's social class and competence to have. Like, people with Rebecca's job history and schooling have financial worries all the time but that tends to be because they're following a certain lifestyle. They live paycheck to paycheck because their expensive houses, expensive schools for their kids, expensive leisure and professional activities they need to network with their peers eat up their huge paychecks. They may also have job insecurity because the kind of jobs they work are competitive and not easy to get into. But none of that is Rebecca! Someone with Rebecca's level of income, with Rebecca's diploma and professional skills, who's happy living in a murder house in West Covina working at the first random law firm that would take her, ought to be pretty comfortable IMO.

Isn't that opening theme fun! The patterns of opening themes is as interesting as those of the episode titles. You could say the first three opening themes were about the evolution of Rebecca's relationship with the label "crazy" from season to season. From full denial in the first season, to semi-acceptance that's just a deeper level of denial the second season, to defiant embrace the third. This season's opening theme abandons the word entirely! But it doesn't seem to be quite sure how to characterize Rebecca now that it's done so, does it. I remember being disoriented by the "Meet Rebecca!" first line and feeling it was completely out of place compared to the others and I wonder why. It's like all the other themes seemed to be saying something general about the nature of craziness, and just by using the word "Rebecca" the fourth season's theme destroys all of that. This song is the opposite of general, you can't be more about one specific person than that. The perspective also seems to shift. First and second season: a dialog between Rebecca singing in the first person and the chorus giving a kind of third-person view of her. Third season: no chorus but four different Rebeccas singing four different perspectives and switching between first and second person. This opening theme: Rebecca doesn't sing at all! No more first person, there's now only the chorus giving (trying to give) a third-person view of her. I guess her silent interaction with the camera is its own kind of dialog but I'm not sure what to make of it.

We weren't saying it's impossible just that her money seems endless. It is a tv show so for a lot of the situations they are in you have to suspend disbelief. She is more than qualified to open a pretzel stand just the expenses really stack up on the show.

It's very well done. The amount of thought and detail in this show is incredible. Even down to the opening theme! I love that the series really does progress each season and isn't complacent.

as a lawyer, i have to say "don't be a lawyer" is one of my favorite songs from the show (although "where's the bathroom" is definitely up there too). i think it's more in the style of new edition than will smith, but definitely late 80s/early 90s. and it offers valuable advice that i wish every day i'd heeded. 🎶quickest way to ruin your life!🎵
