    Seth Rogen's a loser Matrix? What did he do to make you say that, or do you just not like his professional work?

    Edit: If that was pitch for a spinoff, I'd most likely check it out when I remembered it was on. Didn't think Rogen would be down to get back to TV right now though.
    Can't stand him or his brand of humor. Only movie I've ever liked of his is Superbad. Actually, I loved 50/50 too, but I loved it despite Rogen doing his best to try and ruin it. When I found out he was gonna be the main feature on the episode, I groaned.

    And check the Twitter Contest thread in the Neighborhood for more info.

      Just got around to watching it. Should have read this thread first.

      That was monumentally awful.

        Poor *** job of it since they killed off one of the characters.

          I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but did you not watch the very last scene?

            Did they say it was a joke or something?

              This episode just doesn't sound like it's not worth the effort it takes to watch the show these days. Think I'll skip it.

                LOL, I had the exact same reaction as almost every poster, and couldn't wait to see the reaction on the boards. That was beyond ridiculous in my opinion and would have stopped watching but in shock and couldn't turn away.

                I totally agree, Rafi is a great character but only when he is in the form of El Cunado.

                The Dirty Randy character should have always been that reference character, for a lack of a term, that character that has a role but is never seen (like Bob Saccamano, Howard Wolowitz's mom, Norm's wife, Vera, etc.).

                When The League revolves around fantasy football, it is at its best, and though not great, is fun and different. When this show wanders away from fantasy football, it is just plain unwatchable. I've thought of abandoning this series last year but could never do it; after last week, it is definitely on the shortest of short leashes for me.

                  So I read the recap, and I'm not sure what you think i was missing. He gets killed off. Sure, it's a year later, but he's killed off. So how exactly do you create a spin off show where a main character has already been killed... I mean, really, if I missed something, fill me in.

                    Re: The League

                    As a fan of the series I purchased the season pass today on Amazon and watched all four episodes of the new season in a row.....I then proceeded to cancel my season pass. I really enjoyed the first 3 seasons and thought 4 was ok but really lacking compared to the other seasons. Season 5, through four episodes is awful. The straw that broke the camel's back was the Rafi and Dirty Randy episode. I like Rafi in small doses as a scene stealer and I'm kinda of indifferent to the Dirty Randy character but those two together for an entire random episode was enough for me to officially give up on this show. What's next an episode with just Frank 'The Body' Gibiatti?

                      Episode 5 was much improved, by far the best episode of the season.

                        Yeah more of a return to form. I just wish they kept it a bit more focused on fantasy football like they did in the earlier seasons.

                        More Ruxin is always a good thing though.

                          Much better episode. I like how they used parts of lasts weeks **** show to start the story.

                            Better episode. I'm sure every man who watches this show has an insane crush on Jenny.

                              1. Start FXXX

                              2. Move the League to it.

                              3. More Jenny. And why not Sofia too.

                              Well this episode saves it from the DVR graveyard. Hopefully next week's doesn't disappoint.

                                Holy cow. That chick that was working at the comedy Club looked like a hotter (if possible) version of AJ Lee.
