Episode #4.8

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 10 May 2012]

A good episode. I still love the story of Debbie's guilt. She is one of the characters that often annoy me, but in this story I really feel for her. Great job by Sharon Gless as well! They also add the whole humor with the huge angel but one can still feel the sadness. And the story Carl Hovarth told about the death of his wife is incredibly touching as well. I liked how he told it to Debbie.

It was also interesting to see Michael and Justin dealing with the news about Brian's cancer. I find it sad that Justin fans are so blinded by their hate to Michael to understand why he broke down. I loved the scene. So was Brian kicking Justin out. This was the first time I remember Brian losing it and this is why it is so special and interesting.

"Fiercely Realistic" is a gross understatement

Episode 408 "I feel like I've died and gone to homo heaven." ~Brian

This show has done the impossible. Throughout every season, it has thus far remained absolutely perfect and doesn't have hardly any faults whatsoever. With the passing of Vic and Brian getting testicular cancer, it's almost as if we're being transported to another dimension of perfection. This episode made me cry hysterically, not just because of the absolutely note-perfect acting, but because the dialogue and the script was so flawlessly written. It's painfully obvious why this show was called 'fiercely realistic' from the get-go. I liked how Horvath was brought back into the picture, and the speech he gave to Debbie had me crying my eyes out. It was so heartfelt and so very moving. Michael tells Brian that he and Justin know about Brian's cancer, and the results are quite terrifying. Michael tells Brian that he never wants to lose him, and that entire scene is just so entirely amazing. The ending, in which Brian finally explodes on Justin, is shocking and fitting, and even the smaller scenes (such as the director meeting and the whole Rage thing) were perfect. One of the best of season four so far, and one of the best of the entire series.
