The crazy sons of bitches did it.
They put Bradley Jackson in space.
Honestly, yes, this show is batshit, I believe you.And here we are!
It is both baffling and somehow totally tracks.
Either that, or were gluttons for punishment.
I dont know, its a weird time!
I dont know, its a weird time!
He was mostly fine.
Alex was not canceled and is back hostingTMS.
She is incredibly awkward with Laura now a co-host ofYDA and Cory.
Those are the logistics of where we find everyone at the get-go, but how about mental space?
Oh, baby, Im so glad I asked.
She remains the biggest star at the connection.
She survived a near-cancellation because, apparently, people found her baring it all on her COVID show relatable.
From where I sat, it seemed more like the rantings of a mad woman, but sure.
about having him buy UBA.
Cory hasnt told anyone, not even the board, about this little plan hes hatching.
Hes still waiting for a much better offer from Paul, who believes UBA is wildly overpriced.
Im not one to root for a billionaire, but good for him!
Sometimes this show forces me to write sentences I simply cannot believe!
Anyway, Cory decides hes joining them up there, too, because the man cannot help himself.
), it throws the entire plan into question.
Alex isnt the only person Corys pissed off.
There is something brewing between Cory and Bradley.
That tension plays into several of their interactions in this episode.
Bradley wants to do a big story on medical abortions.
Stella pulls the plug.
Her speech has a similar tone.
Later, she gets word that Lunas been arrested, and she hightails it down to the border.
She decides she doesnt want to be his little space puppet anymore!
She is showing him whos the boss, contracts be damned.
And thats how Bradley Jackson ends up being launched into space!
Regardless, the end of the episode really takes the whole space thing very seriously.
Did we need shots of Cory pondering the unknowable universe or Bradley crying when she looks down upon Earth?
Its supposed to be moving, but friends, I laughed and laughed.
What are we even doing here?!
The episode ends with Bradleys transmission live toTMSsuddenly cutting out and people panicking.
What does this mean?
Its a less dramatic cliffhanger than the show wants it to be.
Although, how absolutelyMorning Showwould it be to have Bradley Im exhausted!
Jackson go out on such an absurd note.
If space hijinks are where the season starts, what other insanity does it have in store for us?
Friends, we should all brace for impact.
In Other News!
Paul Marks keeps wondering what the big deal about Alex is.
These two are definitely hooking up this season.
Maybe in a space shuttle?!
My fingers remain crossed.
Notaro and Hamm are fun together.
Speaking of good two-hander chemistry, I still think Jennifer Aniston and Mark Duplass are great together.
Their scenes and their back-and-forth always feel the most natural and authentic.
You never know with this show.
They play Fly Me to the Moon over the end credits!!
That choice is high art right there!!
