Seconded. She fucked up the Schmidt / Cece relationship which was my favorite. Now we're getting almost no Cece and that grinds my coffee.

I don't mind Winston going a little crazy (I think he's mostly doing that stuff to be funny anyway) but he totally should have gotten with that blond girl. I was very bummed out when she left. =(

What episode does Coach come back and is he going to be a regular?

I thought it was 7 but I could be wrong. I think he's only back for a handful of eps though.
I hope he's coming back to coach Schmidt back into the game.

I think you're right. I just read he has pilot coming out next season for Fox. I hope it sticks.I thought it was 7 but I could be wrong. I think he's only back for a handful of eps though.

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. I just want Schmidt and Cici together and she ruined it. Ugggggh.

Dammit.
I hope coach can get Schmidt back to being Schmidt and being Schmidt makes Cece falls in love with him all over again.

Other than being hot what's so great about Cece? I don't find her particularly funny or interesting.

Well, she is definitely hot.
However, I think she has great chemistry with Schmidt, I really like that she grounds Jess in reality and their flashbacks to when they were younger are great too. She is essentially a fantastic foil for the humor of the other characters and adds a dose of humor along with a "I'm a model and you people are weird" vibe.
I personally would have liked had they kept Schmidt and Cece together and split up Jess and Nick.
And she's insanely hot.

Um, was this one good or what? The A.V. Club's review looks not so hot (C+? :/ ).

OK, I watched it. I liked it overall, but I didn't enjoy how much they seemed to push Nick's wackjob behaviour as a sympathetic character trait. He just came across as insane and/or irredeemably immature. And then he just isn't at the end.
At least Winston got a week off being the nutty one.

Nothing she is boring and always brings down every scene she's in. I can't think of one memorable scene she's been in
Ohohoho!!!
I like Cece. Shes not particularly funny but she has good chemistry with Jess and Schmidt.
Last nights episode was good. It was probably the low point of the season but it had a few good moments.

Nick is amazing and the only reason this show has ever been as good as it is.
Schmidt stuff last night was really bad, just boring and not at all in line with the show. I dunno, Schmidt not getting to think about other people to that extreme made little sense to me, didn't the cookie episode make him out to be someone who gets presents for people? I guess the crux there was that he expected something in return, but still it was a wild caricature even for this show, and everything after that sucked.
The windfall 8k was great. Night peanuts, Nick explaining drinking, Outside Dave having a purse for meat and for shells, Fat Face ("I thought I was filing a patent" "Fat Face is...an invention?" "Kind of- in its intention- it was supposed to- eugh") and the rest of Nick's paperwork past. "I can't swim, everyone was watching me-- I was 13! I was 26."

Yeah I wish season 2 nick was still here.
I was really aggravated over his box and his missing jury duty n what not. I mean come on don't let it get that bad and claim everything is alright :\
I know it's a show but it bugged and stressed the hell out of me.

I liked the Schmidt stuff. Him trying to be a good person is just funny to watch. Jon Lovitz as his rabbi was great too.
Well the overall point was "Nick has a lot of weird quirks, some are incredibly dangerous and others one could potentially learn to accept/tolerate". Jess has been so obviously superior to Nick in pretty much every way that I get why they brought her down to Nick's level at least once.
The problem is, Nick's shit (whilst hilarious) is so fucking asinine that it's completely unbelievable why she or anyone ever adopt his quirks, in love or not. The last episode spent most of its time essentially saying that Jess can do so much better, inadvertent as that sentiment was.

I still dig this show but they really need to ease up on Nick's shtick of yelling blatantly manufactured crazy things, going "This is me, these are my real feelings!" and then immediately resolving things with him and Jess saying how much they like each other, how well it's going, etc.

My DirecTV was on the fritz this week so it didn't record the episode (or B99 or Mindy). And apparently Fox doesn't provide an On Demand channel. Is it worth it to buy this past episode or did I not miss anything? Sounds like consensus in this thread is that it was mediocre.
all three of these shows are free on hulu

MUCH better episode this week. Featuring normal Nick and Jess. Winston was a lot less 'season 3 winston-y'
And an insanely dumb Schmidt. LOL.

That was all I got out of the episode, it might be because I was cooking at the time, but I did not feel like watching the episode.

It felt good to not have an episode consumed by the desire to test Jess and Nick's relationship to the max.
The story about weaving Keaton into Schmidt's life was hilarious.

I really hope Schmidt stays in the new apartment. I dunno why but I just find the idea of him moving in across the hall by himself hilarious.
Oh, and him eating the block of cheese was disgusting.

This times infinity. Felt like classic New Girl. Funniest episode of the season by a mile.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I feel the show lost it's spark midway through season 2 and I don't really care about it anymore. I watch just for Schmidt and the fact that it leads into a half hour of the hilarious Mindy Kaling <3

I only watch this show off and on (catch maybe 60% of the episodes?) but I thought she was a great character and I instantly liked her with Schmidt more than Cece with Schmidt. She was just so self-possessed and confident in her identity.
I hated the $8K plot a lot. Nick will borrow a cumulative $1500 from Winston but would rather blow it on useless fun than pay Winston back? And he's angry about even being asked? That's not being bad with money or ducking issues he doesn't want to deal with, that's just being an asshole. He's so dysfunctional that he doesn't understand bank accounts? The former law student, who paid his families' bills, is too dumb to live in modern society? There's suspension of disbelief and then there's just stupid writing.
Mostly I hate Nick. He's epically selfish and detached from reality. That stuff is silly and unpleasant for MPDG characters and turning him into a sort of MPD Guy isn't charming, not when they crank his stupidity up to 11.
