I Need A Break

This episode did a great job with many things, but especially Paula's heart attack. Women often take way longer to seek treatment because their symptoms are usually different than the typical (ie, male) symptoms.

Song comments: Greg's song didn't do much for me the first time, but now it's one that I really dig when I'm listening in the car. The way the music shifts when he sings "I hate the phrase 'love conquers all' and I hate that it's true" is just perfect. "The Darkness" song is one of the few serious songs this show has, and I like how simple the set/costume is. Just her in a hoodie, singing next to a fence. Also...I have a theory that the name "Tyler Darkness" is a nod to "Tyler Durden", someone's dark side...

Oh my god, so I was going to add something like: "Tyler Darkness sounds like Tyler Durden, but his physical description of 'he plays drums and wears guyliner' reminds me of the drummer in the Ping Pong Girl song".......Hmmm...Just did some quick googling and IMDBing. The drummer in Ping Pong Girl is named Cameron TYLER?! Is that just a coincidence??

I can't tell you how many times a day I just sing to myself, "and his name is...TYYYYLER!!" Just in random moments. It's my roman empire

"I'm the Villain in My Own Story" actually goes all the way back to season 1, when Rebecca discovered how much her behavior was hurting Valencia. The end of this episode is oddly one of my favorites, though (actually, because) it's one of the most mundane and matter-of-fact. Just Rebecca sitting down at home, firing off a couple of necessary texts (one supportive, one apology), beginning the medication her doctor has recommended, and then then getting down to work with a notebook. I enjoy the casting of all the doctors on the show: both Dr.'s Akopian, beautiful (personally but also visually) Dr. Shin, the very unalike brothers Roth (yes, Rachel Bloom's husband), and our glimpse here of Paula's never-named gynecologist, who got a lot of life and individuality into his few lines.

Her being a healthier person is really a highlight of the show. I love seeing how far she has come.

Being misdiagnosed and prescribed the wrong medicine is horrible for any health scenario. However, another possible reason for her not wanting to be back on meds is a bit darker. After I went through a similar situation as Rebecca, it took years before I could even look at another pill again without being violently nauseous.
