Take Our Word for It: Schmidt's toenails are horrific, not that the camera ever pans down for the audience to see.It doesn't help, as Jess immediately starts signaling for help, when Edgar walks in, before Nick has time to confirm that he understands. Safe Word: When discussing safe words for the snooping they're doing at Edgar's place, Nick and Jess settle on "apricot".She turns out to be his lover, which further unsettles them. Nick and Jess assume the older woman who lives with Edgar is his mom. It turns out that Winston randomly getting boners is a regular thing that the roommates talk about. Raging Stiffie: Much is made about how Winston gets a boner around Cece.Jess: So? A lot of normal people live with their mothers - my uncle Randy. “But you’ve seen me in one,” Schmidt reminds her.Nick: Edgar lives with his mother. – Jess doesn’t believe gimp costumes are real. She’s still Jess’s friend, of course, but she just kind of appears to be in a holding pattern, floating in the background until they decide what to do with her and Schmidt. – CeCe is getting a bit lost without a connection to Schmidt this season. – I don’t want to know how much four models with protein deficiencies shed. – note for potential writers: ‘diddling oneself’ is not an attractive descriptor. I just wish it didn’t feel like such a deliberate collision course, however – at times, their interactions becoming distractedly obvious. Not that I think that’s a bad direction to go: as long as the show keeps their dynamic fun and energetic (as it is in their capers through the episode), we’ll keep enjoying their time together. There isn’t much to write about tonight, because ‘Pepperwood’ is a very low-key episode, mainly just more Nick and Jess touching, which will lead to many, many memes and GIFs over the next week as everybody continues to cream themselves over the now-inevitable pairing of Nick and Jess. as is his own attempts t writing, of course. I wish the show had dug a little deeper into his POGO – the only depressing one in the group – but Julius Pepperwood and his private Google investigation into a creepy writer in Jess’s adult writing class are always good for a few laughs…. Nick Miller continues to be the star of the season, getting all the juicy moments and screen time mostly reserved for Schmidt last season. But for other characters – like Jess’s need to correct everyone – make sense for what we know about these characters, and ultimately, leads to funnier moments when the group POGO’s all convalesce into a kitchen fire at the end of the episode (“You have to smother it … I would’ve told you, but I didn’t want to sound like a know it all!!!). We’ve never seen Schmdit’s clickety-clacks (and I hope we never do), and it’s a little hard to believe that he wouldn’t take care of his feet like everything else on his body, which is meticulously groomed in hyper feminine fashion most of the time. Of course, the trouble making these episodes interesting is making the undesirable traits seem believable to the character, since they are long established realities in their world, but new character details for the audience. They call their biggest pet peeves POGO’s, over Winston’s uncomfortable genital-to-genital exchanges he has around the house with everyone. They’ve invented games, have recurring gags like the douchebag jar (which sits next to a new Annoyance Jar for Jess), and in ‘Pepperwood’, they reveal the things they talk behind each other’s backs about. New Girl is a show that likes to build its mythology and characters in a very Friends-like fashion. Just a couple quick thoughts on tonight’s New Girl episode:
