Only able to watch the episodes that get on the FIX for now, unfortunately...
Episode 9: At first it was because I missed the apartment explosion from Episode 8 that I really wasn't getting all of this. Then I realized that all of this slice-of-life stuff wasn't very funny. It wasn't all a lost cause, though... it was sweet watching Hiro remember the early, lovey-dovey days of his marriage with Mitzi. I also wonder... I know I didn't see said explosion, but I too was surprised how much stuff survived. Some funny moments: the fridge/pot/remote control exchange; Hiro & Shin's 'I Spy' game; Hima's sudden decision to start singing.
Favorite quotes:
- "It's smaller than a homeless person's!"
- "C'mon, Hima, things are about to get PG-13 in here."
- "Does that mean I have to suck on Dad's nipples?"
"Hiro of the Hunt / Movin' on Down / A Family That Sleeps Together...": 3/5.
Episode 10: Also started off slow, but picked up in the later segments as we meet the neighbors and Georgie becomes Shin's 'spin doctor.' Loved Hima getting comfortable on the new 'couch'; the too-lonely ronin; the landlady who loves stacking dentures.
Favorite quotes:
- "Yes, I'll pray for the monkey too."
- "I mean, if Martha can decorate Cell Block C..."
- "Please forgive my friend's terrible manners... his parents let him watch public television."
- "That's right... laugh to hide the tears. That's what I do."
"By Dawn's Early Fight / Bug Thy Neighbors / Spin Georgie": 4/5.
