Does he get any better?
About to finish season 2. I get that all main characters are supposed to be annoying people who is charming in little ways but I feel like David has no redeeming qualities at the moment. I love how involved with people Alexis is and she always have something to do but David just get people going to him and him hating everything.
Remember the whole episode where Moira was signing Alexis' community service papers and didn't know her middle name. And the rest of the family didn't either. And that whole episode we never find out what it actually is. But when Ted proposes much later, he declares "Alexis Claire Rose, will you marry me?" He was the only one who remembers. I mean if that doesn't show how much he loves her...
In S1 E11, this is the script that plays out:
Johnny: Well, I hear the pork is very good here. The ribs, the chops, the roast- Deedee: Nothing for me, thanks. Johnny: Well, isn't that funny. Because Moira doesn't eat here either. But I will be eating and I just don't know whether to have the ribs or the chops, but I'm definitely ordering pork. Moira: If you mention pork one more time.
Does Johnny talk about pork in order to appease Dee Dee and suggest that he is not a Jew? Does Dee Dee have a thing against Jews?
I am so confused.
I’m a fan of the show and have watched through 4 or so times now.
One thing which becomes more apparent and uncomfortable to watch is how David changes as the seasons go on.
At the start, he is low on confidence and sad, but appears to be more considerate than Alexis.
By the end, he is so rude to everyone, judges everything they do (even for him) with a quite vicious tone, starts randomly being the only character to say “fuck” for no reason.
Examples would be the episode(s) when Patrick proposes. His response to people finding out is awkwardly selfish, he is determined to do the horrible speech even on opening night of the show etc.
Or the even more difficult watch when he applies at Larry Air just because he thinks he is better than Stevie. And then when she gets the job he genuinely can’t be happy for her. Season 2 David would have been imo.
It’s nice that he stayed in Schitt’s Creek for Patrick, but this is the only character growth that he managed, compared to the others who drastically changed their perspectives.
Does anyone have any recommendations for funny shows/movies to watch that match the kind of comedy of Schitt's Creek?
Today I learned “dragoon”. She uses it in the episode where David pees the bed and is referring to her frans.
To dragoon someone means to force, coerce, or bully them into doing something.
My husbands second language is English and he likes to learn new vocabulary so I tell him some of the words.
Just rediscovered this Moira quote. Not only does it make me laugh, but the quote itself fits Moira’s personality so well.
This episode must be my one's favorite one in the whole series, all of the good things are woven together in the end.
Seeing Alexis high school graduation ceremony hit me much harder than I expeccted. To me, I used to always think it was just a small event in life - something ordinary that everyone goes through, that couldn't be simpler. But maybe it brought back memories of my own high school graduation, which didn't turn out quite well . In many way, neither did my whole high school experience.
Maybe that's why it hurts. It reminds me of the choices I wish I had made sooner, and the things I should've figured out much earlier. There are just so much regrets during my high school and I think it should've been better.
So I really hope I can get a opportunity to go back and relive my high school years, just like Alexis did.
And for David and Patrick, I am so glad they were able to meet each other at that moment, when Patrick said: "I've never done this before, that's my first time with a guy, thank you for making that happen to us" I almost cried. I was once just as confused as Patrick, and it took me years to figure out who I truly am. Only I know how hard and painful that journey was.
I can't recall if this was brought up, but I wondered how many other characters are like her. At least on the surface. I don't think there are that many female characters that have her complex mix of ambition, narcissism, selfishness but also love, loyalty and depth and talent.
I think women like Scarlet O'Hara and Erica Kane are similar to Moira but they were both also noted for their immature streak that took many years to overcome
There's a character in a Stephen Sondheim musical (Merrily We Roll Along) Gussie Carnegie. Like Moira she's actress who is ambitious, narcissistic and selfish. She kind of a diva who is driven by the need to perform and the trappings and glamour of success. Her career is her number 1 priority. But unlike Moira, she went for the wrong man and realized too late her mistake in dumping the guy who would have always loved and supported her no matter what.

Don't get me wrong I love this show. On my 4th rewatch but I swear the musical interludes and theme are about twice as loud as the dialogue. I wish streaming places offered some kinda audio smoothing thing for us weirdos
Alexis is checking her grades led me to question something. Is the academic grading system in Canada based on a different scale than the USA? A = 90-100, B=80-89,C=70-79,D=60-69,F=59 or less.
Alexis is thrilled to get a 63 and 68 when the class average was 60.
Saw the top photo on my commute in late May and have been trying to figure out since then which episode the “welcome” in Bosnian is from. Found it in season five, episode 4.
Need this on spotify.. And a longer version too
Rewatching Dirk Gently for like the third time and only just realised Ted is in it! 😂
