Fine enough. Could have been better

Is this the first episode where they really start to just destroy the Alex character?

She has always been "her"...the smart one, not the...whatever you want to say...hot, cool, fun, etc etc. Whatever.

There is a point in the show where it stops being just who she is...and they annoyingly turn it up to 11. They end up doing that with everyone. Instead of things just being part of who the character is...that basically becomes the overwhelming thing about the character.

Is this the moment? Is the opening scene where they play it up too big and MF becomes/starts to become unenjoyable?

I don't know if that scene was the beginning of the end...or a song of what's to come?

I don't know at what point the show jumps the shark...but there must be hints of it preceding that point.

I'm almost to season 6...so I know it starts to get really bumpy. I dont know which episode the wheels come completely off.

I'm sure there are low episodes that the show is able to recover from. But at some point it does stop being a good show with a few bad episodes to a bad show with a few good episodes. I don't know where that point is. Is it coming soon?

Love me some Andrew Daly.

Eisenberg is plays his role excellently.

Krakowski is so annoying. Not sure what's more annoying...the character or the actress.

Fun interaction with with Phil and Jay.

God, Alex is annoying.
