icepixie: (Never hearts and flowers)
"Slow Dance" has to be the blackest comedy NX ever did. Rick, fifth of Maggie's boyfriends to die horribly, getting smushed by the satellite. Maggie's rant at Fleischman about how she told the FAA that Rick was colorblind because she didn't want another death on her hands, just before he gets to the "...Rick crawled up on the roof" punchline of the "joke" he tried to tell her to break the news of his death more easily to her. (I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.) The "customized" coffin being brought into the church, and everyone cracking up. The woman who hates her husband approaching Maggie and asking her to have an affair with him "and let nature take its course."

Ow, my spleen.

Ron and Erick are always fun, but I can take or leave the Holling and Shelly plot. Eh, win some, lose some. Still a great episode, capped by the greatest invitation to dance of all time: behind here )
