Not sure how i feel about this season so far. Jane seems to have had a character transplant, is now a cuck and I don't understand why James Burrows a 85 year old man who has directed over 300 episodes of Cheers, Friends, Fraiser, Will & Grace, etc - would want to direct an AI written show that looks like the calibre of a Quiby show.
Also I wish they would commit to a device/method of filming Valerie, it’s a bit jarring when they just give up mid scene and revert to filming it like it’s And Just Like That or something.
Though this was a good episode! There’s now two big clunking references that Friends exist in The Comeback universe. I hope they’re building to an episode about Valerie having a “should have been me” rivalry with Lisa Kudrow with Lisa as herself against Val. Also a meta nod to the Phoebe and Ursula stuff.
