Just Shoot Me! # 005

  • The Maya-Nina a-story tracks a fairly predictable course. Jack advises his daughter to be nice to the ex-supermodel on her birthday, which proves difficult until Maya spots a chink in Nina’s armour and they bond.
  • Stories like this are important in sitcoms to establish/illustrate bonds between characters who spend most of their screentime throwing insults at one another.
  • The Elliot-Finch b-story is much funnier.
  • Best gag? In the c-story Jack has been buying gadgets and one of them is a whistle that only birds can hear(!), which causes a bird to suddenly crash against the office window behind him. Very funny.
