The two bits in this episode I love most are Justin in the institution saying "you've misspelled excitation", and Rita Sue and Jonesy (god, Rita Sue is amazing in this ep, the fierce way she tells Sofie "you're goddamn lucky to have a man like that"). You're right, lack of Iris is no fun, but she does get to make up for it in "Insomnia".
The hindsight in this show is staggering - anything having to do with Sofie, Appy, and who her father is just makes me cry like a little kid.
Mainly, I think about some of the funny behind-the-scenes stuff with this ep. Like how in the torture scenes, they're really dunking Clancy Brown in lukewarm water with clear rubber made to look like ice. And how Clancy said the straitjacket was "weirdly comfortable". And how Dan just decided to play Phineas Boffo because he's always loved the name.
I have a hard time watching justin in the institution. I have a mental institution abuse trigger, and the whole thing is just really really rough for me. but he's a badass the whole way through.
and rita sue is amazing. she's so fully-realized. it makes me even angrier when I see shows that just have the stock "hooker with a heart of gold" trope.
I see you there. that whole business is just totally rough.
also, phineas boffo is an A++ name for sure. I'm such a fan of behind the scenes shenanigans. oh, show.
