Tom the Baptist
In the sixth episode of God’s Favorite Idiot, Judy and Gene are both in the hospital. Judy will be okay, but Gene suffers severe damage and is put in a coma. ..
After the previous episode’s mishap, the logical question that had to be asked was why didn’t Frisbee magic-proof or Harry Potter the backyard and sauna area. The answer? Because Chamuel didn’t file an N919. That’s why. Oh, he also let out that the hospital was not a Satan-free zone. But why wouldn’t God help Gene? Why would he let it happen? ..
Are those bouts of doubt warning signals and a throwback to the adage “god works in mysterious ways”? Quite possibly. Milton’s radicalism continues outsides Clark’s house. There is a brief moment when he touches Clark that his hand burns. Milton notices it but continues with the protests and I think this is a big hint that he might come on the Clark bandwagon believing his word to be true. It is a big “maybe” right now, but let’s see.
Clark is greeted with big news: Amily has decided to move in – because staying at her place is dangerous right now. She also declares that she is off Tinder, permanently. She ferments their love with a home-cooked meal that looks like it was prepared by a five-year-old.
At work, Clark gets a candle from Wendy. The smell is particularly unpleasant and then there’s a whole pointless scene with Moshin and Clark where they have to “take care” of it because Clark has to go to the hospital. The plan is to keep it in Frisbee’s office. Yes, keep it in his office because it can’t be thrown or disposed of in any other way (facepalm).
Gene’s condition has not improved since Clark last saw him. He calls out for Chamuel to help his father. But the angel is currently busy fighting Satan with swords and shields. The two even wear armors. Yes, it seems like a fight between two mortal beings. Frisbee is busy doing paperwork in between the battle, making sure everyone is following the rules of battle. Chamuel is flung in the air by Satan, who has seemingly won this duel. ..
Wendy finally learns the truth about the candle. The “genital” smell apparently doesn’t do it for Clark and Moshin. Tom is losing hope amidst the tough circumstances. He cries and as he leans forward on Gene’s bed, a teardrop falls on Gene. And voila, he wakes up from the coma.
The Episode Review
In episode six of the series, Falcone presents a plan to the mob boss that is going wrong. However, due to his involvement with the project, Falcone cannot see it as going wrong and presents it to the mob boss. This causes great disappointment in the mob boss and makes him question his decision making process.
The writers seem to have decided that the audience is not interested in their story, and so they move on to other things. This lack of interest in the story makes it difficult to care about what happens to the characters.
The role of Wendy and Mohsin in the show is poorly written. Their romance is extremely poorly written and their blocking of the scenes gives them no confidence either. The entire show has too much wrong with it that surfaces in episode six. God, please bear me some strength to finish the series.
