Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

"Friendtopia," a song about a friendship dystopia:

"Trent is Getting Ready Song," self explanatory:

"Stuck in the Bathroom," all about how Paula is stuck in the bathroom:

"Research Me Obsessively," about online stalking your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend:

"You Go First," an awesome, awesome parody of Heart's "Alone."

They do call each other in the episode though right? And make up and stuff. Yes I should actually watch the show.

You want spoilers? Because this is how you get spoilers. Here you go: they don't call each other or make up. This is how the episode ends, with their friendship still broken.

Oh, well I did ask. Anyways Friendtopia takes me back to my childhood with the Spice Girls thing (while also of course being a horrible dictatorship and funny).

They aren't even healthy for each other but I want them to make up is this how shipping works?

I now present to you one of the most Jewish songs ever:

Yes, that is Patti LuPone as a Rabbi and Tovah Feldshuh as Rebecca's Jewish mother singing a klezmer song while dancing a hora. That's how Jewish it is.

The best Soul Train song and dance you will ever see:

Damn, Heather is a good dancer.

Yeah, there's never enough Heather in C Ex G is there?

Also, I hear that people aren't really liking Season 2 as much as the first, but honestly I like this one more. I mean sure I miss Greg, but the songs are still awesome and Rebecca seems to developing past her unhealthy obsession with Josh (which really is the weakest part of this show).

Also, am I the only one who kind of...loves Nathaniel? Yes? No?

You mean the New Guy? Yep, the last episode made me like him. Plus, I love this song:

It is a good song "Do we really need someone new so late in the season, and by late in the season we mean it's nearly fall"

Also the Bestfriend song is sad.

So, that season finale went dark. Like, super dark. But I like it. In fact, I loved both songs in the episode — "What a Rush to Be a Bride" was just hilarious and "Rebecca's Reprise" was super sad, considering everything she was saying contrasted with the real meanings of the songs — but the flashbacks to Robert and what happened at Harvard were both very understandable (I could definitely see them happening, considering she already tried to burn the men out of her life in the show, too) and super dark. Because, yeah, arson would get you to go to a mental hospital.

"What a Rush to Be a Bride":

"Rebecca's Reprise":

I think it might have been better to call it, "I'm a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"

I do love the entire premise is Felicity shown as utterly horrible and for adults. Girl goes across county to be with guy she crushes on only to find Noel is better for her.

Except not.

So, since Season 2 is on Netflix in binged and caught up.

I say goddamn, that was... a thing. Not going to lie, every moment with Trent was a joy.

Gotta say, the whole Robert thing was such an Ass Pull. But in a shining example of Tropes Are Not Bad I like where it took things... it just came out of nowhere. Rebecca's dad gets award for biggest asshole though, right?.

Everything about "Santa Ana Winds" gets my pick for best song this season. From the lyrics, the dancing, the guy's face, the constant callbacks/forwards, and the fact it keeps popping up... really loved it.

Actually, the more you look back, the more foreshadowing there is for him / for Rebecca burning someone's house down:

• Her housewarming party invitation, Paula said it looked like a house on fire.
• At one point in season one, she says that perhaps she needs to go out with someone older, "like a professor."
• Her burning her apartment earlier this season shows the exact same shots as her burning Robert's things.

I'm just terrified of what's going to happen to Josh Chan next season. One part of me is kind of happy that Rebecca is coming after him for leaving her at the altar. But the other half just feels bad for both of these characters because they are soooooo messed up.

There's a great YouTube channel analyzing CXG now called Bagels After Midnight. Gabrielle Ruiz even commented on their video about Valencia:

There's also a new podcast called Crazy Ex-Boyfriends.

So Crazy Ex-Girlfriend held a For Your Consideration event for Emmy voters and the entire cast (minus Vella Lovell who was doing a play at the time) sang a bunch of songs during it and CBS uploaded them to their YouTube channel.

The best ones were probably "Let's Have Intercourse":

"Maybe This Dream" (which Donna Lynne Champlin kills):

And "Friendtopia" (where David Hull replaced Vella Lovell):

They are all pretty much great though.

... is Whi-Jo playing Heather in Friendtopia?

Yep.

"I Don't Care About Award Shows," in which Rachel Bloom refuses to make a music video to campaign for an Emmy:

And just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet: "Lady Boss," in which Rachel Bloom sings about how weird it is to be a lady and a boss:

I think I might have Lady Boss stuck in my head now.

Why has no one told me this premiered?!?

God, the advertising for this show...
