Midge Maisel and Shy Baldwin

I just watched the Season Four episode of “THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL” called (4.05) "How to Chew Quietly and Influence People".  In this episode, Midge Maisel and Shy Baldwin finally brought closure on her firing from his tour at the end of Season Three, when she attends his wedding at the Plaza Hotel.

That was . . . that was just so fucking lame.  It was bad enough that this sequence began with both Midge and her manager Susie Myerson attending Shy’s wedding as a means to get “revenge” on the singer for firing her from his tour.  Watching the pair engage in silly behavior like tearing up floral arrangements, upsetting drink trays from the hands of waiters or tripping them was the most idiotic thing ever.  

Then Midge and Shy had their reunion or “showdown” inside the hotel ballroom bathroom.  Midge told Shy that she would have apologized if Shy or Reggie had allowed her to board that plane on the tarmac.  So now this is all Shy and Reggie’s fault for not allowing Midge to apologize in person?  Judging from her rant in the Season Four premiere, Midge was not even aware of how much she had harmed Shy and his career with her comedy set . . . after Reggie had fired her.   I have encountered plenty of self-absorbed characters in novels, movies and television.  But I have never encountered a television episode, movie or novel in which a character’s self-absorption is nearly excused or brushed aside like Midge’s in this episode.

Midge and Shy’s reunion ended with the latter offering to let bygones be bygones with a drink.  Midge refused the offer and decided they should not be friends.  Why?  I have no idea.  I came away with the feeling that she still blamed Shy for what happened to her in the Season Three finale.  Or perhaps she did not trust herself from keeping her mouth shut about him for once.  If it was the latter, I would understand.  If not . . . fuck Amy Sherman-Palladino.

The Happy Sad (2013)

Director: Rodney Evans

Stars: LeRoy McClain, Sorel Carradine, Charlie Barnett...

Two young couples in New York find their lives intertwined as they create new relationship norms, explore sexual identity, and redefine monogamy.

Interesting movie, but nothing special overall IMO. Quite a few twists and turns in the movie so you’re always left wondering how it’s going to turn out for the characters, who they pick in the end, but I have a feeling that their decisions were sometimes rushed and without proper progression.

Rating: 3/5
