This season has actually been one of the most consistent too. No bad episodes.People can give this show shit for it's inconsistencies but it's honestly still one of the best shows on television.
OMG the pickles... I couldn't breathe when they worried about the pickles...The bag of blood. Great. Great episode.
There were some audio cues every time Dennis talked about being "the Master" (atonal clarinet lines in the background a la Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack). That was about all. Just some music nerd shit that I got a kick out of.I'm sure this was a parody of Scientology, but was it also a parody of the movie The Master? I've never seen it, but I have feeling it's a direct allusion to some movie.
Frank's hottie (and the moms) was resolved though, with Dennis banning women.i really wouldn't consider it a parody of The Master, besides the obvious scientology parallels not much else in common with the movie. If anything the biggest link in the episode was crossfit, they are big into kettle balls and poorly trained instructions frequently injure clients.
Weak finale but great season. I think it would have been funnier if they just ran with mac and charlie making a cult that just got weirder and weirder while attracting more followers, and the rest of the gang try to either "rescue" cult members or destroy the cult. The little sub plots never really came together or got dropped entirely like Franks hot cultie.
