I understand the need to shake things up and keep them fresh, but there has to be some basis for the change. You cannot suddenly make your characters different if you haven't properly set up the foundation for this change.
In this episode, it's revealed that Penny and Dave have feelings for one another. What? Since when? We've never been given a whiff of this until now. Sure, it's a good way to bring more conflict to the series and inject complications but this revelation isn't organic. It comes completely out of left field and isn't earned.
But hey, that's just a little quibble. FRIENDS lived off these types of switch-ups for years.
Episode's about Dave being weirded out when Penny starts dating his therapist. Ken Marino makes a cameo here bu this performance isn't funny. The material's not there.
Damon Wayans, Jr steals the show. He makes every scene he's in funny. His mannerisms and facial expressions are winning. The guy needs to branch out into features quickly.
