"Go find a black person!"

"Oh, Richard. Thank God you're still here! Go get Sue."

It plays into the whole race thing- a black man with two doctorates is working for a schlub like Jonah, and spending his days getting less qualified people coffee.
No, the guy couldn't tie his own shoes in the previous seasons. There was not a hint of him being snubbed or ignored.
I suspect there's also a slight nod towards Black Lives Matter, here, too, in that when the alarm sounded, security immediately targetted Sue - and only Sue - as she came through the door. Another layer to the all-white Symposium On Race.
Thats still one of my favorite moments from this show.
"Richard T. Splett...I dont know why I said that, my middle name is John."
Gold.

He fucked me, and then he fucked me. What, is he trying to fuck me?
Weird ep. Felt a little stagnant, expected more forward momentum with the re-count. Splett was the highlight for me, watching him rule the roost over Jonah when they were going door to door was great. And the bit about getting his dad's email address when he dies, my god!
John Slattery was a welcome addition though. Finally got around to finishing the final season of Mad Men just last week.

slattery & dreyfus is the hottest 50+ couple ever
fun episode. i thought it was unfocused like last weeks but i'm warming to the structure - the sad mad meandering limbo as they wait for the insanely huge result to slowly come out.
this was kinda a cheap joke + amy even at her most horny would not give dan the satisfaction of that many messages that can be thrown in her face later. dan ditching her for the insufferable sister for the slightest glimpse of furthering his career is perfect though.

His musings on Tom Bombadil are something else.

Dan misheard CVS as CBS right?
Correct. Where "something late night maybe" has a very different meaning.
I heard CVS.

yeah I heard CVS too
the insults were flying, you have to watch the episode 2 or 3 times to catch them all. Also pretty sure the character thats the old school consultant that Ken and Ben worship has alzheimers
Ken trying to figure out how old Sue is was gold too. "did you see Godfather in the movie theater?"

Nightcap?
WOW
Pretty solid episode. John Slattery is a nice addition to the show.
Ben's confusion totally made that scene for me haha.

She's gonna end up getting Selena impeached or some shit.
She's treated like shit all day long.
Then again, Selena is a huge dick to pretty much everyone she knows... And doesn't know.
Come to think of it, Catherine might be the only likable character in the show, aside from Richard.

I thought it was a weak episode but I like that John Slattery is now a part of the cast. He's great.

Exactly my thoughts.
That Amy bit at the end was so weak. Completely out of character for her to pretty much beg Dan. And then have Ben end up receiving the messages? Poor. Iannucci would never have allowed something so sloppy.
Someone tell me I'm not the only one worried after the last episode. I feel like the show is turning into other mainstream comedy shows, except I don't watch those, so maybe this is in my head? It's a reactionary thing to say after only one troubling episode, but there's some portentous stuff here.
Things used to run at a frantic jam packed pace, now everyone's stretching out. Like that old lovable pro is actually senile story would have been contained within one episode. We've got characters that are suddenly entirely about one thing. "Hi, I'm Catherine, I've got a camera." "Hi, I'm Mike, I'm an old guy trying to get healthy because I've got a kid on the way." So, losing the comedy show that runs at light speed isn't great, but it's affecting depth as well. Oh, and there's also going to be a recap and then a lead in joke and the credits scene has been appropriated for just more show as well.
