Good lord, that episode was hard to follow.

Suzie's sweatshirts in episode 1 and 2 are hilarious. Her son has been portrayed as such an asshole...hoping we see him get his.

I'm really liking the use of 50s and 60s music so far this season.

I love how Hobbs is validating the main three even though they all think Hobbs is insane.

I hope Ken and Rapunzel get released so they can have some wacky adventures soon. Iam enjoying Hugo going to Ken for advice but that taxi/shocking deal is not ideal since it's becoming boring and Ken was shown to have knowledge of electrical doodads.

Mr. Priest is super creepy.

Yes, yes he is, which I LOVE.

Also, I'm a big fan of Sherlock Hobbs, who I didn't think was Tyler Labine until I checked IMDb. He's a more reserved version of his usual boisterous character, but I dig it.

Did I hear the dog's name right? Heh.

This show just delights me. I am so glad it's back.

filthy light thief, yeah, I like his less obnoxious role here.

lefty lucky cat, yup, the dog's name is Agrajag, according to the captioning. I caught the Hitchhiker's reference too!

I watched on my tablet while I had a fan going and totally heard the name as, "Crackerjack." Um, lol.

Wonder if they'll make use of Agrajag like they did in HHG?

Complication: Mr. Dent apparently had nothing to do with Agrajag's demise, this time. Not that the writers appear to be particularly devoted to strict story canon and arcs. I mean, we're already pretty much off the reservation, as it's already been pointed out. Not that I mind.

And yes, Tyler Labine initially gave me pause (I spotted him immediately) but he is PERFECT for that role.

Was there any real indication that Agrajag was killed, not just removed from the house?

Yeah, I thought the wording on "get rid of the dog" was specifically phrased so that it left the door open to the possibility that the husband just let the dog loose or whatever so as to not have fans pissed off about pet murder.

Probably also phrased that way so dog can show up to resolve something later on as well.

Also when this show kills a character, they seem to really like doing it on camera.

Doh, I totally forgot about that rule. Thanks for reminding me.
