This is NO BAD THING.Oh and one more thing... I know that Nicholas/Rodney/whatever his name is is there to fill a sort of Niles role in the sense that he's a confidant for Frasier, but as a character I found him to be much more like Gil Chesterton than Niles.
Agreed.This is NO BAD THING.
I don't think I'm going to warm to Lyndhurst in it, sadly.
Pretty much agree with all of this, especially the Lilith/Frasier relationship.Episode 6 was really trying its hardest to be a classic Frasier farce, and all the ingredients were there but unfortunately one of the ingredients was Freddy, who just doesn’t bounce off Frasier as comedically as Niles or Martin did in these situations.
Episode 7 was the Lilith episode, and she was extremely welcome as always, but I couldn’t help but feel the writers made their relationship regress a lot for the storyline to work. The sniping between them is always fun, but there was always a lot of mutual respect and even warmth between the two of them, and it seems like they undid all that (not to mention the lovely bittersweet ending between them in the original series) just to suit the standard “divorced parents who can’t stand to be in a room together” sitcom trope.
Pretty much agree with all of this, especially the Lilith/Frasier relationship.
I agree with @Ill Advised that episode 6 was the 'most Frasier so far', but don't think it was better for it at all - it only served to make it blindingly obvious that the magic isn't there.
Kind of pleased, as it was the last one before my subscription expires toTOMORROW.
