Storyline

While going to meet Jason Alexander to discuss an idea for a new TV project, Larry has a run-in with professional wrestler Thor Olsen. Thor accuses Larry of "shooting at his kids", and Larry thinks Thor slashed his tires. Meanwhile, Jeff separates from Suzie, and asks Larry to go pick up his clothes. Doing so incurs the wrath of Suzie, and he asks Jeff to repay the favor by letting the air out of Thor's tires.

User Reviews

Another superbly written episode

"Thor" is a thoroughly entertaining slice of Larry David's chaotic alternative life.

When Jeff informs Larry that he's separating from his wife, Susie, the blue touch-paper is lit for another episode of comic misunderstandings and awesomely bad-timing.

As someone who has a "Larry-moment" at least once a week, it's always refreshing to see greater mishaps on the small screen caused by innocent misunderstandings and actions. In this episode, a moment of tomfoolery behind the wheel of his car leads Larry to an uncomfortable encounter with the mighty Thor and his declaration that he's not into anything kinky comes back to haunt him.

9 out of 10 - a comic gem.
