Here's what I thought about the rest of Louie Season 5:
Sleepover - B+
Louie hosts a wacky sleepover party for his daughter's friends.
The Road Part 1 - B+
Louie encounters a series of mis-adventures of life on the road.
The Road Part 2 - B
Louie continues to show how much it sucks to be a travelling comedian.
Here's hoping Louie can get back to the greatness of Season 3.

Hey Louie fans! Recognize this 23-y.o. from TNG's "Who Watches the Watchers?"?!
... Yep, that's Ms. Adlon. Wild, huh?!
(Also, she's super hot.)
And then "Model"... man, was that one funny. Victor Garber showing up for one scene at the end was simply priceless. Love how there's no opening credits, so these appearances are actual surprises; most hour-long shows fail in that regard.

Just finished S4, meaning I'm now all caught up what Netflix currently offers. (Seeing Hawkeye pop up was a total and welcome surprise.) The "Elevator" arc was indeed pretty good, but the Pamela eps were my favorite. Damn, that woman is an awesome character! Not from a wish-fulfillment perspective - I could never go for someone that raw and abrasive myself - but seeing her and Louie the character play off each other is just marvelously entertaining.Neglify said:

^ Well, I look forward to S5, as well as Adlon's upcoming new FX show, the pilot of which CK directed.
In other stuff, I just watched Jon Stewart's final two Daily Shows. And here is a Picture of Zen:

Welp, just finished the fifth season, and I liked it a lot. I've seen the show over too many years to have any opinion on whether one season as a whole is better than another, and it all is starting to feel a tad bit tired. If this is the end of the show, it's a good and honorable end.

Aw, I really liked this one! I loved how Pamela was articulating what she wanted in a mature and complex way, but in her quintessentially juvenile language. As for the violation scene a few episodes later, there've been several of those throughout the series, and it didn't seem to really bother Louie, so I admit I more or less forgot about it in the midst of the breakup scene that followed. Of course it was sh*y of her to make him up as a woman and the rest knowing full well she was going to dump him, but a sane person would've stopped pursuing her long ago. The show is too loose and casual with continuity for me to have any deeper opinion on the specifics of their relationship.
I'm still looking forward to Adlon's show, by the way. In other TV comedy news, tried the premieres of the second season of Kimmy Schmidt (after mostly liking the first season) and Lady Dynamite on Netflix, and found both to be off-puttingly shrill, and lacking that edge of tactile reality that makes Louie so great.
