Season 1, Episode 9: Punk is Dad

Favorite quote/moments: There are so many moments in this episode that are great. More than I remembered, in fact. This is not traditionally one of the episodes that I listen to multiple times, but the beauty of Beth's natural 20 that makes Silent Night an iconic moment in the show is just wonderful.

General thoughts:

Ah, the beginning of the fun titles. Now, I'm not 100% sure on the reference on this one, but it still works for me.

This one also has a fun intro that I had totally forgotten about. Got to love the parody of Behind the Music.

Overall, this is a great episode. And I had totally forgotten how much fun it is. This episode that is supposed to focus on Nick and Glenn becomes this beautiful, iconic moment for Ron instead. I love what the dice do to the storytelling.

I love that Nick and Glenn decide to hotwire the car, and that Nick got a natural 20, and they were able to run off with the van. And then Scam Likely's call makes the whole moment even funnier.

What a great, fun episode. And we get to meet Paeden in the next one. Very excited for that.

sometimes the student guides the master...

Or, when is the kid no longer a kid? How 'bout when she KNOWS Ventress is gonna wipe the floor with you...

...and when you order her NOT to come fight at your side...

...she follows her gut and SAVES your dumb overprotective controlling ass anyway

remembering s1ep9, debate 109, and, i love love love how its the episode where troy discovers abed's films about the study group and shows them to the rest, with shirley and troy grappling with abed's incredible prediction skills via his films functioning as a sideplot.

and one of the reasons i love it sm is because of the end scene, where abed is filming his two troy and abed actors doing the spanish library rap, and troy is there and is involved with the scene.

the reason this scene is just so good is bc like--abed is a self-described control freak. but he is letting troy sit in, interrupt, and give his own criticism--basically he is letting troy be involved in this scene. abed's s1 soft spot/crush on troy you will always be famous

they play the same musical cue in s2e6 after stede kills ned as they do in s1e9 after ed shaves his beard and frankly the implications of that are destroying me a little

Excuses! You know mk would never kill you

"That's what you think." Macaque slid down to sit on the kitchen floor. "Take it from the guy who was left with a nasty concussion. You don't know what the kid is capable of."

I like to think that after they got use of the Daedulus, the Atlantis team sent some people to the planet with the sentient Mist and dismantled or buried the Gate there to prevent them from losing lives

[house-bites]

thinking about the parallels between Wilson and the John Henry Giles’s agent in s1 ep9 ‘DNR’ —

the parallels between House and Giles are pretty textually clear. Giles tells House that the two of them are alike in that Giles only lives for his ability to play music in the same way House only lives for his ability to practice medicine. but for Giles, his agent, Cora, clearly cares about him beyond just a professional sense, and to me it reads almost romantic in nature.

so if Giles and House parallel each other, wouldn’t Cora and Wilson do the same? each sticking it out for the long haul with someone who will never care about them the same way they care about their one passion.

Wynn to Neil: I think you're nuts but I don't think you're stupid. And I think that when you come across information like this, I do believe you.
