Maybe it was the weed or the 60FPS flow motion bullshit on the friends' TV I was watching it on, but Always Sunny really missed the mark for me last night. I know the group dynamic feeling weird was basically the whole plot, but there's still something else that feels off about this episode... Lack of music? Some stilted deliveries? A couple out of place awkward pauses? It's hard for me to really sum it up. It also kinda took until the second half for there to be much energy.
Still have high hopes for this season. Speaking of the actors' ages, Mac and Devito look like hell (which is something you could say about the latter in later seasons, but now the white is really creeping in.) And Mac trading his babyface for muscles was probably an easy choice for McElhenney and his character, but damn, he looks 15-20 years older than the previous episode.
Dee and Charlie look angelic as always. The Waitress has looked much better but she's also looked much much worse, so I'm not super worried about those three.
