I think the reason that scene is so great is I can totally put myself in either’s shoes. I think Edgar is genuinely doing what he believes is in Jimmy’s best interest, and I think Jimmy is totally understandable in his reaction. I know I’d be pissed if someone pulled that on me the night before my wedding. Same. Paul has some deep flaws, but Lindsey straight up stabbed him, cucked him, and had an abortion without telling him. I mean, Jesus. Even his MRA phase seemed more like him desperately reaching for a belief system that explains why Lindsey did those things to him, rather than something he actually believed. I thought it made a lot of sense that he would ditch it relatively quickly.
I think they were all respectively the worst in their own way. I know this isn’t the most inspiring answer but it seems like the way we were intended to feel. Edgar non-withstanding he was a sweetheart.
Like I get not washing your legs every day but you should also be washing more than your face and armpits.
Late to this but just finished and what Edgar did was right and both Jimmy and Gretchen realized it in the end. They were going to lie to themselves about being in a "normal" marriage with all the cliches that both of them hate which would inevitably lead to their self-destruction. All season they were lying to themselves about actually wanting that, hence basically every episode ending with the heel turn of one of them smiling but then frowning when the other looked away lol
I always wash my legs but ever since Gretchen’s admission, it immediately pops in my head every morning in the shower
I’ve blown through almost two seasons this week. I’m in love. Edgar is probably my favorite and even though I’ve only known him for one episode, I would die for Sandwiches.
Running through this show yet again. Always forgot how hard I laugh at Edgar’s V.A. guy in season 1 “Hey Jerry, bad news, you’re gonna have to turn in your hook” “But... but I use it to pick things up” “No man, stuff’s gonna stay on the ground”
What else is that V.A. guy in? I know I recognize him every time I watch but last time I looked it up I couldn't figure out why I recognized him
Recently he was in Grace and Frankie, he was also in a pretty major role on Monk for a bit. He’s been in like an episode or two of basically everything though. I love him.
In three now and ouch my heart. This is so great and soooo painful. I want to listen to Lindsay describe pop culture forever.
