I loved the second episode. I wonder if her having problems like that will be a continuing plot line or if that's the end of it. At that age, not knowing the difference between dreaming and being awake is probably a really bad sign (I'm not a doctor).
Right? Most people would probably give them a cut rate, bargain ass, value dick they found at some flea market.

The Vanessa episode is amazing. It's the perfect complement to the Miami episode where he can't get over himself and ruins a possible friendship with his stupid anxieties.

I haven't watched this show since season one, but I just watched the end of "So Did the Fat Lady" and she said fuck... uncensored?
Has this happened on FX before?

Holy crap.
When Louie gets nominated for awards next year, it'll surely be for tonight's "So did the Fat Lady" episode. I was completely gobsmacked. Louie often mixes in doses of humor with uncomfortable truths about life, and tonight's episode was perhaps the most lopsided balance of that dichotomy. The sheer artistry and honesty of that scene, and if you watched it you know which one, left me in tears. Bravo Louis.
If the rest of the season contains even greater gems, we are in for something truly unforgettable.

episode three was incredibly good. those are the kind of louie episodes i like the most and the bit about status and insecurity wrt how men act towards fat people really struck home. the big monologue could be seen as a bit preachy but i felt the writing really sold it as a human moment and it was an earned payoff to vanessa bending over backwards up to that point just to get louie to show a tiny bit back.
also it has me imagining an alternate universe version of hbo's girls with vanessa as the lead that's actually an amazing show.

Watched episode 3 this morning. That long shot at the end was great. I wonder how detailed the setup was or if they just kept it loose. I also liked all the fit runners in the background.
I love this show and Louis in general but I think he missed the mark with the fat girl speech.
To me this came across as incredibly whiny and made the character unlikeable. Now if it this was coming from someone that was hideously ugly or was born with a deformity on their face that's one thing, but a fat girl? You can change that, it's not something you're born with and forced to live with. I cannot for the life of me find any empathy for the "struggle" of fat people.
That said, I love the way it was shot, really cool stuff.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
ep 3 was beautiful from start to finish.

I suggest educating yourself on the topic a bit more. I have myself over the past year or so, and some of the preconceptions I had about the subject ended up being wrong and I've become a lot more understanding and empathetic as a result. That knowledge, I think, helped me appreciate this episode - along with the long take at the end - a lot more than I would have.
Sarah Baker did a great job.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
It's a four episode storyline.

Between this and True Detective, it's been one hell of a year for long-takes on television.
So Did The Fat Lady was incredible. Easily, easily one of the top 5 Louie episodes ever. It was great even before the monologue, but then... wow.
And I also thought it was very telling that the "fuck" in that speech wasn't censored, but the "fuck" in the next episode was. Censor it when it's for laughs, leave it when it's got real meaning.

Amazing episode.
Ok, I don't know how filtered those kinds of interviews are, but Ursula sounds and acts way more mature than half my friends who are in their 30's. WTF? I always wonder how it is for young actors to be in shows/movies that are way more adult than they'd normally be allowed to watch.

Wow, I didn't even notice that the last scene was a long take. I was just enraptured with the speech.
Latest two episodes were quite strong. This show can be hard for me to watch sometimes though. The dramatic situations that pop up can be scarily realistic and sort of cringe worthy (in a good way).
I do have to agree with one of the above posters that the lady's speech was almost a bit much. I like that it pointed out the double standard with fat people. But for a large number of those people it is possible to lose weight via diet/lifestyle changes. Not easy, but possible a lot of the time. I thought most of the speech was well done though.

Yeah, everybody's talking about the monologue scene but I don't think people are giving enough attention to the subway segment of Elevator. Louie's reaction felt very real, I was a bit shaken up by the end of it.
i don't think those are his kids
I know that. I mean his kids on the show.
The subway scene.

Sweet little Jimmy Norton sleeking in and just going "yuck" in the shadows was my favorite part.
It's certainly interesting that a show that can be very surreal at times can also portray situations in the most realistic way imaginable.
Yeah that was perfect haha.

That was the highlight of both episodes.

The fat long take at the end of episode 3 was amazing. Loved the floating camera and how they didn't really worry about fancy framing, but just let it bob and weave around both of em as the moment played out.
And the subway scene was great as well.
This show is ridiculous.

I gotta be honest... I can't even conceive of partaking in a Bang Bang. I mean, I love eating sometimes, but if I stuffed myself like a glutton at the first restaurant... there is no way I'd have any digestive desire remaining to go to a second place for even more food, especially if I was having trouble walking out.
So yeah, that's the most unrealistic aspect of the show for me.
