It’s hard to believe that
this was the season finale, mainly because I feel like the season really flew
by, but I say that in a good way. Now that season two has ended, I can
definitely say that I love season two even more than I loved season one, which
is something that I’ve been thinking for quite a while now. This episode was
the perfect way to end what I think was an absolutely amazing season.
If the previous episode
didn’t make me absolutely hate Jess’ dad, Bob, this episode definitely did.
Thankfully, he was barely in it. At the beginning of the episode Jess, Nick,
Schmidt and Winston were getting ready to go to Cece’s wedding, and Jess wanted
her dad to take a picture of them. Bob very quickly tried to kick Nick out of
the picture by telling him to move further and further out of the camera frame
until he left the apartment. This quickly led to Jess, Nick, Schmidt and
Winston fighting with each other before everybody but Jess stormed off. Once
everybody else had left, Bob took a picture of Jess, and I have to say that I
love the way Zooey Deschanel posed and smiled for the picture. I thought it was
cute, and it definitely made me chuckle.
That being said, even if Bob
doesn’t really like Nick all that much, I don’t think that gives him the right
to be as rude to Nick as he was in both that scene and the previous episode.
After all, he’s not just staying in Jess’ apartment, Nick, Schmidt and Winston
live there too, so I think he should at least act polite towards each of them
since he’s a guest in their home. Besides, it wasn’t just this episode that he
acted rude to the guys. I also thought he was being pretty rude to Winston in
the previous episode, calling him “Wilson” and making him feel guilty about
eating the birthday cake that he had bought for himself. If I were Nick,
Winston or Schmidt, I would definitely have told Bob to take a hike if he was
going to act as rude as he was being.
This episode once again reinforced
my belief that both the writers and Lamorne Morris have really found their
grove the character Winston after having him come across as being rather
forgettable in season one. If you ask me, this episode was probably Lamorne’s best
performance yet on the show. After Schmidt accidentally walked in on Cece
getting ready for the wedding when he was trying to find the men’s restroom, he
came to the conclusion that Cece wanted to get out of her wedding to Shivrang.
He was repeatedly insisting the Cece had told him this with her eyes. This
prompted him to team up with Winston to play a series of pranks designed to
sabotage Cece’s wedding. Naturally, since it has already been well established
that Winston is terrible at playing pranks, this led to a series of disasters.
