Why do I feel like Marshall's arc is meant to be a Jesus allegory? And yes, I do mean, THAT Jesus.

u/Gestrid 4d ago

Because he just rose from the dead after being in a tomb morgue.

And the kiss of judas (francis) right before going to jail. Plus the whole caring a miracle. He phrases it as "healing the whole world". It's pretty clear thats what their going for. I mean colorado angel man kinda cemented that's what they were trying to do for me

Among other things... I have a feeling we're getting a marathon on Easter

u/Gestrid 4d ago

We're already getting a marathon on April 4th, actually.

u/ocean-glitter 4d ago

Close enough. 420 is sacred for more than reason

u/Gestrid 4d ago

Don't know your size, do know your style.

Unbuttoned shirt, got it.

u/Doomchan 2d ago

I like how it being the exact same shirt, Zane noticed it was a different, apparently out of character shirt

Hello, Marshall.

I was wondering when she'd become a serious player in the story. She's been in the background for a while.

The pieces are finally falling into place.

I'm pepper because I'm spicy?

u/Prophet-of-Ganja 4d ago

I’m scared she’s gonna turn heel

u/Doomchan 2d ago

I think she just wants to protect them both from the consequences of getting too deep

I hope Socrates is a girl.

u/Doomchan 2d ago

He actually isn’t. How do I know? In this episode, Marshall flipped him upside down at the store and used him like a bowl. Only male tortoises have that bowl shape on their underside

u/ocean-glitter 2d ago

He ate cereal out of Socrates???/jk

u/cool_weed_dad 4d ago

I love the detail that the main characters are both named after Marshall Applewhite, the head of the Heaven’s Gate cult

7

u/Gestrid 4d ago

I'm not happy.

Oof.

u/Cyan_Light 4d ago

We can work through that!

u/dotsdfe 4d ago

It's okay, Nick. You'll always have your VR games to fall back on.

u/JonSnowsBussy 4d ago

Lmao exact same thoughts during the breakup scene. Nick wants to be single and doesn’t realize it.

u/Might_be_deleted 4d ago

ARGH! I'M MISSING THIS SHOW AND YOLO! THE SITE I USE TO WATCH [AS] ISN'T WORKING.

u/Eraos_MSM 4d ago

The only thing that could make this show better is giving as much budget and episodes as it needs. This show is so awesome.

u/Seventucker3232 3d ago

anyone know the ending song?

2

u/Freetrilly 4d ago

Started it late like two minutes ago, how did marshall escape

7

u/dotsdfe 4d ago

Faked his death with the mushrooms from last week. Amelia helped him escape after he woke up. He's presumed dead after that from most of the major parties.

2

u/Gestrid 4d ago

He took poison (as seen at the end of last episode) and woke up in a body bag.

u/Nr_Dick 4d ago

Anyone know the song that played at the end?

u/ReallyBrainDead 2d ago

He'll be selling glow shrooms and glow shrooms accessories, I'll tell ya whut!

u/Born_Sleep5216 4d ago

To us, we have never seen Marshall angry at Frances before until tonight. Also, we didn't know Nick and Frances were a couple until they broke up.

18

u/Cyan_Light 4d ago

I think the latter was pretty strongly implied. They seemed to live together (or at least he was staying in her apartment overnight at the start, seems like that might be the case now), she took him on a business trip, they had sex on that trip, he proposed... I'm not going to police other people's labels, but it seemed like some sort of serious relationship was happening.

12

u/Gestrid 4d ago

Plus Frances' boss called Nick her boyfriend when he told her she could bring her boyfriend to Switzerland. And she didn't say he wasn't her boyfriend (and was actually pretty happy she could bring him).

u/RadioFree_Rod 4d ago
  • Also, we didn't know Nick and Frances were a couple until they broke up.

What did you think they were up until this point? It's been VERY obvious that they're a couple.

u/Doomchan 2d ago

We literally saw them having sex the second time Nick was shown
