...As the Day She Was Born (#14.15)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 26 June 2015]

I am actually very sad to see Harold Zelinsky go! This was such a fun and original character. But they really made his leaving fun as well. Him explaining to Neela that it is not her but him was a great scene.

Her conversation with Dubenko was also very well written. What he said to her sure was supposed to make her feel better.

This episode indeed has a few scenes to laugh about. We also have the fight between Archie and Frank that Pratt so skillfully deals with, pretty amusing.

Sarah's grandpa ending up in the hospital was also a good story. Helped to develop a few of the relationships between characters.

Fast forward

This episode is the 4th lowest this season. Really nothing worth watching in this episode because the lead characters (Pratt, Gates, Sam, Neela) have become so predictably boring.

Neela has a mid life crisis. At 31. There are scenes with her which I think they were meant to be cute and funny but she is not a comedic actress so the delivery falls flat. Lucian comforts her with a muffin. Gates and Sam continue their fling. He gets her flowers. It's a pathetic attempt to continue his womanizing character with yet another female cast member since he's already gone thru 2 others. Pratt plays peacemaker between Frank and Archie in a funny yet overacted scene. Abby and Luka send a picture from Croatia. Zelinsky, the best character this season, is leaving for a stint in the PICU.

The show is like a rudderless ship in the middle of a storm at sea; it doesn't know where it's going or what course to take to right itself.
